Running Gear:
Twin turbo'd 350 (383) built by someone who knows how to do it right; 6-speed manual. 373's in the back. 3 inch s/s exhaust all the way back.
Polish the serp belt system.V/A shiny pulleys. While we're at it, hiding the fuse block lower in the firewall would be sweet. Gloss black powder coated steering
column, clutch and shifting linkage on the firewall side. Also, while we're at it, the bellhousing could use some black powder coating, too.

Pretty deeply dished (lip polished) 17" or 18" five-spoke American mags about 10" all around. Maybe 12 in the back. Tires with sidewall meat on them. Especially
the back. Tub the rear bed.

Suspension's all done. But a few changes:
Disks in back. C-notch with bags. Air system. Don't need to lay out. But I want some load adjustment...It's all free, right?

Accessories:
Hide the V/A hoses. Shiny, new big- a** alternator. Black powder coated hydro boost. 20 gal saddle gas tank between the frame rails about mid-way between the
cab and bed... with the filler in the stock spot. Electric adjustable side mirrors that look like peeps. Electric door locs. Stock handles, but a "popper" just for fun.

Body:
Real wood bed. Kind of silvery-dark wood finish with polished s/s runners. Gloss black paint on the bed and tubs w/stainless hardware and a couple of "smallish"
old-school pinstripe designs on the tubs.. Muted ghost flames in the silver paint on the hood, front fenders and doors, with some black accents (somewhere) to pull
it all together.

How's that?
