Thumbs up Pearl Jailbar Pictures!
Took some pictures of this truck. He must live in Denver. I have seen it at two different shows this summer/fall. VERY NICE, EXCEPT.... he has a F^&*)*^& CHEVY MOTOR and your typical turbo auto trans.... WTF is wrong with people?!

Anyway, enjoy the pics!

I noticed the steering wheel is out of a Firebird/Transam. Truck looks good. Agree it needs a Ford small block stroker.
Nose does look like glass to me also.

Not sure if it was fiberglass or not, didn't want to tap on it to see!

The truck is absolutely amazing in every way but drivetrain. But being the purest I am, I am just so sick and tired of everyone using the typical 350/350, or now the hot thing is 383/400 (same thing), LOL.

I guess old timers don't recognize the 5.0 as being "common" and "easy" and "powerful". 331 and 347 strokers are amazing out of such a small engine. 5.0 parts are just as common, easy, and true to build, no reason to put SBC stuff in anymore.

46fordtruck has a good reputation on FTE. 46fordtruck has a good reputation on FTE.
It's a beautiful truck, I have seen pictures of it before online. It might 'glass for the frontend, however I have seen quite a few guys weld up the seam between the grille and fenders to give the look of a one piece. Either way, one very sweet ride.
