Longhorn Progress
Just an update on my "little" project. Some of you guys may remember seeing my post of my cab hanging from the rafters.
Anyway, now I am ready to spend some bucks on upper and lower side trim. Also, a complete NOS grille assembly would be nice, but may not be able to afford or find. I am planning to install my own windshield with new rubber this week. P.S. - So far I've done all the work myself on this truck including paint and body. Acrylic enamel, sanded, and buffed. |

Re: Longhorn Progress
Manimal, the conversion to 4X4 was done before I got the truck. I would guess the person got hold of a 3/4 ton parts truck and swapped everything over.
Let me know if you need to know anything specific. Mine is a manual trans with the bulldog first gear and an NP203 transfer case. |
