Gorgeous truck! Hold on to the old girl for a long time, she won't let you down!

New trucks have too much plastic. :P

Dude that truck is very sweet. But if it was me, I wouldn't take that 3 speed out. It looks beautiful. I am hoping mine is half that one day.

i cant tak credit for it. grandpa kept it up very well. he used this truck for work from 70-95 when he retired, as a carpenter. im going to start working on it this weekend, ill post some links to pics of what im doing.

anyone put a mustang 2 front end under one of these yet? ive found online where a few guys have done it, wondering how hard it will be.
