Maiden '07 voyage this morning!!

Ok folks.. my 70 made her '07 maiden voyage around the neighborhood this morning. Wiring Harness is in and pretty well cleaned up. Couple of small things left to do but she's streetable and running pretty dang good

Still left..

Remove tint from windows
fix drivers side window crank
backup light connections
trim
align tailgate better so it closes
oil change and fluid check (prob should have already done the fluid check.. LOL)

Anyways.. pictures since I borrowed dads camera

Thanks guys!!

The tint just looks awful.. I might get it re-tinted not quite as dark but it's a homemade job that the PO did

Re: Maiden '07 voyage this morning!!

I agree with you stingray, the tint should go. Great looking truck! I like the color/stance/ wheels and tires.

Re: Maiden '07 voyage this morning!!

Congrats!! I was hoping that I would be able to do the same soon, but we got more snow last night and rather than plow it they dumped huge amounts of salt down to try and melt it.

I honestly don't know. I'll look at them and get back with you though. They're not a common brand and were on the truck when I bought it
