64 nearly finished



Well after 10 years this truck is finally going to see the road. Just a few small things now.

Beautiful truck. I've been debating red or red/white, but I have to say I really like the red.

Looks good. What chassis do you have under it? Looks like a 70's front axle but the frame doesn't from what I can see.

Nice Job! Interesting treatment of the bed, with that angle iron up I'm guessing you are doing wood?

At least you left some, is that 70s patina on the air cleaner? ha ha ha

That must be a little diesel engine with the glow plugs above the valve covers and no spark plug wires.

Post a pic of your warranty plate and I'll add it to the list.

I’ll have to get some pictures of the engine bay all done and wiring installed I think it looks pretty clean now.
