The paint on the side seems to have been redone. Note the spray pattern compared to the smooth finish on the hood. Still a cherry for sure though.

Way too many extras on that, drop the thing on the roof and those bull horns and you have a really sweet truck, needs a ZF though.

Add a gear vendors a BW1356 and a D60 front and it is total package! The horns on the front are a little to small for my tastes tho.

I bet that has power windows, locks, cruise, tilt, and an fm radio! All things that scare John, hes getting pretty fearless here.

It needs a set of longhorn horns and that thing on the top needs to go.

My only complaint is the turbo, auto, power options and CD player really. Still not enough chrome though. Yes I love chrome!


I should put my bull horns on that thing! I got some bigger ones I bought when I was in Texas, was originally suppose to install 'em on the camper


Lukes66...

Why would you 4x4 this nice truck? This is a pure highway queen. 4x4's are to much maintenance when you'll be full time on the highway. Low range is great, but you can always add a divorced transfer case without having a front axle.

I wouldn't want to lift it or put mud terrains or anything like that. I think the 4wd would add utility when you have to pull off of the highway onto the grass after 4 inches of rain with 20k in tow. Or when you need to pull the trailer through the grass parking area or pit area to get your race car or pulling tractor or whatever it is to its spot. I see it all the time at pulling events and any small town event in the summer. It rains and then every custom painted 75 thousand dollar crewcab diesel dually 2wd is stuck. Sure there is usually a tractor at work in the area pulling them out, but if you add 4x4 to that truck, you are pretty much ready for anything.

I love it!

I go nuts on accessories my self.

I'd love to have a 77-79 Full size Lincoln Continental, rip the 460 out of it, and drop in an IDI, 6.9 or 7.3 don't care, as long as it's got V-belts, C6 behind it and you wouldn't believe the crazy chrome/truck accessories I'd throw on that!

Chrome Cab lights, west coast sr. mirrors, running boards with lights, rookie bars, chrome bush bar, bull horns, air horns on the roof, front valance with lights, rear valance under bumper with lights, small, 1-2" suspension lift just to get enough ground clearance to hop curbs and have full size dually mud flaps, with chrome weights and lights on the mud flaps, Lund sun visor with lights big CB antennas mounted on the mirrors, man you'd see this boat coming from a mile away

And all my lights would all be bulb lights , non of that LED crap, I hate those.

I'd defenently need a 3G alternator with all that eh?
