The Horse

Hey all I am getting closer to having the horse on the road again. I am getting a tailgate from crazyredneckanyhow to replace the extremely shot original ,the window guts from my father-in-law for the driver's door,and the rest will come from LMC. I can't wait because there are so many good memories with it.My grandpa loved the truck he called the horse; so I am keeping the name.I am going to put it on the bug shield.It will be great to hear the 400 breathing through dual pipes.

Awesome!! I hear you. I just finished installing about 700.00 worth of LMC parts on mine and I finally got it out of the garage after two months of working on it. Be sure to upload pics so we can see what all you have done to it!!
