I'll miss it after it gets traded for a Fox Mustang... but it's just as fun as one!

cjlinkster · 10-20-2011, 08:33 PM

Here are my before pics...

I have mainly be focusing on getting the truck running dependably. I'll be starting on the body work in a few weeks. I want to return it to the original color and factory looks. Its a camper special model, and I want to use it to pull a camper (in the near future).

I agree that it was nice to start with, but you are just dead wrong when you say there isn't an "amazing difference between before and after".

Yeah, I bought it there and also worked there until it went out of business.

They are sitting in the garage with the truck. I have a brand new set of 275/50 and 295/50 BFG T/A's for them. Appliance Fine wires are hard to find. If someone wanted to somehow re-chrome them, I do have a second set that my dad and I used for rollers.
