It's a '67 grille. I painted the black around the headlights, and am not sure if they came that way on that year, but that's the way I like it. I just can't wait 'til the interior is done so I can build a better looking front bumper.

I just noticed the superduty door handles. Man, you are doing a great job meshing the old with the new.

Yeah, thanks. I'll paint those to match. I just don't know if I'd do it again though. It was a ton more work than I expected.

Sorry about that. I haven't gotten much done in a while. I have gone to the bully dog dyno days. I dynoed 501 rwhp and 977 rwlb/ft tq. It was good enough for 2nd place there. I was also in some sled pulls @ tremonton utah a couple weeks ago... That's about it though. Here's the bully dog link: my truck is on the last 30 seconds of the link.
YouTube - BullyDog Dog Days 2008

Here's the tremonton sled pulls link:

I didn't place on this one. only 260 ft. and there were a few 700-900 hp dodges in my class. oh well. Mine's daily driven

Awesome. Nice to see that a sweet looking truck like this is used and abused like a truck should be.

Power Smoker, that is a very nice truck you have there, it has been said before but deserves another go around, top notch, excellent craftmanship, and above all, I love the body style with the stretched out doors. Again, top notch truck you have there.

Well, I sold the 37's last night to a buddy of mine so today I'm ordering the 40" Toyo M/T's and a set of Rev Revolver 811 20x12 wheels today. I promise to get a couple pics this weekend when the tires show up. probably next week I'll add a couple inches of lift too to make it more proportional. I'm sure my wife will have me do steps in the VERY near future as well. Don't worry though, it's still going to be an impractical daily driver.
