Jim, I never saw your before pic. You've done a great job!

Is that your battery on the running board? I thought it was an old milk box! Lol

Here is what I started with in March of 2012





We put it on the road in Aug of 2014. It's hard to believe that two years have passed since it's maiden voyage.

Seeing as I didn't have an after pic back when this thread was started I may as well post it here now.
It's too bad many of the pictures have disappeared from this thread..

Totally different look from this angle John. It shows the trucks really cool attitude. I like it a lot.

OK, I thought maybe I shouldn't reply to this post as Belle doesn't look all that different now than when purchased but as they say it's what's on the inside that counts.


Belle before



And after

Rimrock, I like the after look a lot better. I like the beige color trim better and the steel wheels and black running boards.

Looking good! Just curious though did someone put that hood ornament on there or did they sell that as an option or something? I don't think I've ever seen that before.

Hi Abe, first off thank you for your kind words. As far as the milk crate on the running board yes there's a Red Top battery in there. I bought a drop down box, but did this instead for easy access mostly. I didn't like the idea of having to crawl under the truck for jumping someone, pulling the ground for testing and things like that. I've grown to like it, and have considered putting another box on the drivers side for extra tools parts etc.

That would look cool I think.

Well even though my before is pretty much the same as my after, I figured I'd go ahead and post.



Before



After a lot of cleaning, really the only thing that has changed was getting it driving and now I'm just finishing up rewiring.

So visually it doesn't look much different, I've done no body work and not planning on it anytime soon.
