Picture of my 75 XLT SB

Everyone,

I have been lurking on this site since I purchased my truck a few months ago. I have asked questions on this site and everyone has been very helpful. I have two monumental tasks that I finally completed..I had my truck repainted and figured out how to post pictures on this site. I little bit about my truck. It is a 1975 XLT SB with a 490. I purchased it from the second owner from GA about two to three months ago. The previous owner had owned it since 1977. It was in above average condition with no rust. Since I purchased it, I have spend about $4,000 on it, most of it preference fixer ups. I replaced the front bumber and grill to all chrome, had it repainted (the paint was about 10 years old), had the bed rinolined, replaced carpet, replace some exterior molding, etc. Like I said, these items were replaced by my preference. I have had other classic cars..Mustang and Corvette, but, this truck is by far my favorite. I had a truck very similar to this in High School many years ago. Here are a few pics. Again, thanks for everyones helps on this forum.. Merry Christmas.

Sorry, it is a 460. It has automatic transmission, PS, PB, and factory air.

I love your truck!!!! Post as many pics as you have of it. My 74 is ready to paint but Im going to have to wait on warmer weather. Mine truck is the twin of yours with the exception of the wheels, Ive got weld 5 stars on mine. Ive got the chrome to go back on mine but was debating whether to put it back on. But after seeing yours it would be hard not to. Mines has a 331 sbf ford but I bet the 460 is alot of fun. I love the wheels you have on it, you raelly have a nice truck. I'd be proud of it.

I used Photobucket to post the pics and they turned grainy. Is there a fix for this? I would like to repost the pics that are not so grainy? My new paint looks much better than the pics show. Thanks
