I wanted to be exactly like it was when Dad owned it, I can't wait to see the look on his face when he comes up from SC this week, I just finished it up yesterday.

That thing is gorgeous! I love it. Thanks for sharing.

It was a lot of work to get it done in 3 days, but it was worth it. I am seriously looking forward to All truck Carlisle, It's gonna be awesome!

The great thing about it was that in primer, I won two trophies I can't wait to see what I do with a new paint job.

Wow, nice truck! Really like how you kept the "old school" theme with the rims, topper and push bar. Was that first pic in primer?

Yes, first one was in primer. everything that is on the truck is original to that truck. It has been in the family since new and never left , only took me 26 years to get it back and restore it to it's former glory.

Nice job and nice truck to, I like the old school rims.

Thanks, Dad got them in 1980, I don't even think they make them anymore, but they still look nice on the truck.

Very nice. Love the truck.

 

[smokey]

Very nice. i like restoring suff to factory specs.

 

[flathead95hp]

Had to restore it to the factory, wouldn't be right any other way. Besides that, I used to drive it to school in 81-82 and everytime I drive that truck I go back in time. Just wish gas prices were the same as then.LOL

 

[polarbear]

Awesome- one a number of levels!
