Clean garage space is a sign of a sickness. Nice looking build.

Hey Cashy,
Your truck is looking nice. I pulled a 289 out of mine & replaced it with a 351W - I'm jealous - wish I had kept it like you did. Who's doing the painting? You have way too much space there - you need your wife to
fill your garage with her important stuff!

Is that key switch to the left of the dash for the starter or some other feature?

I'm waiting for some one to ask about the gauge in the kick panel, perhaps make some witty remark but no one has. So what's up with the gauge in the kick panel?

Looks great so far. I got my 48 on the road a year ago, 3k miles on it so far. Great fun to drive, get lots of thumbs up. People like seeing this old stuff on the road. Be prepared to talk about it every time you park.
