Saw a truck at a cruise in this evening....

[Longhorn Man]

Pretty cool. I went to a cruise in, and among all the typical Camaros, Rustangs, Rubber Maid (Corvettes) and assorted crazy painted Mopars, there was ONE truck of our years.
This thing was pretty cool. Spoke to the owner (he also was invited to the board) he has owned it for 12 years I think he said, anmd did all the tin work himself. He did a pretty good job too IMHO..

Here is the '67 sshort/step/chop top. Awsome and countles mods.(that's the owner standing behind it)


If I was smart, I woulda asked what these seats were out of.

Here is the heart of the whole thing, a fairly stock 454 out of a late model daulie. It is hooked up to a T-5 (!!!!?????!!!!!) 5 speed that is holding up, then into a 4.56 geard rear and out to a set of not very sticky super wide tires. He says that the 5 speed keeps his freeway cruising at a sane level, even with the crazy gears.
The funny part is, someone in thae parking lot was foaming at the mouth looking at my rig and said I should put it on display in the cruise in. They did have some "work in progres" rides...but mine woulda won the beater of the year award. (if there is such a thing)
