This is survivor of another kind. Big Orange had a fire that destroyed the project truck he and his son were building.

Looks good and ready for the road.

Re: 69 survivor truck

Thanks SP, yea got afew more things to do but I think the completed version will be different than the other trucks we have done over the year's!
Buck put a high torque starter on today but when I went to crank it the 2 small wire's comming off the starter most of had a skint place in them and shorted out and burn the yellow wire up, wow I'm thinking of just ordering a new wiring harness w hei built in it. I'm gonna cut those white letter down to the wide band of white that is hid under the black rubber. Got the carpet orderd today and the seat is fresh and ready to bolt up on top of the carpet.
I almost forgot, in memory of my late father who is the reason I'm nut's about these truck, well anyway he had a 72 with a L88 corvette hood scoop on it so I still got to install that with pop revits,going with that nostagic look!
Stay tune guy's

Do you have the HEI in it now? If so, you shouldn't even need the yellow wire.
