Having some difficulty getting picture properties to copy!!
Engine and trans all rebuilt, added power brake system, rear drums, front disc system, and wheels- modifed from 75 F250 donner. Reds headers installed but not in picture yet. New deck with about 8 coats of spar varnish- was an express box so all new wood crossmembers as well. I will post back a picture with the cab back on and all the junk off the deck!

Yep even with a flaty- but its all about the bling- I've got a nice set of headers for it, and I got the whole widow maker wheel thing resolved, and new brake set up for very little cost in the big picture- considering 8 bolt wheel pattern and all.
