Re: The Snortin' bull

Re: The Snortin' bull
Sway bar on a suspension that is bagged take's some time to set up. I am trying to make sure no binding can occur.

Re: The Snortin' bull
Installed a headliner to add less road noise and more insulation.And it helped. Still tryin' to keep the old sittin' in the yard truck vibe. No resto or all new look here and there .

Re: The Snortin' bull
Maintenance is good on these old trucks. What are the details on your headliner? Hard to tell from the pics. It looks like some kind of vinyl/leather material.

Re: The Snortin' bull
The headliner is a kit from LMC.Vinyl upholstered panel .It is a medium weight Fiberboard backed. Good color. Nothing fancy but fit was good and a fair value.

Re: The Snortin' bull

Re: The Snortin' bull
Mounted off to the side .Easy to switch. It's loud enough .The thought is to add a air operated train horn .

Re: The Snortin' bull
Horn looks cool, but I really like your idea of a train horn!

Re: The Snortin' bull
Great to see that back there, that's something I'm definitely going to add to mine when I start driving it.

Re: The Snortin' bull
Well most of the bug's are out .Hearing the gear drive and exhaust, air compressors and such is cool some beat's would be good. So still this is a budget build and no polished billet ride. Fabbed up some spacers to fit Stillwater Kicker speaker's on to door rib's.SSL audio deck installed is the start.

Re: The Snortin' bull
Thanks for the comp. I like the Mule project.I think the service truck's have a cool back story for all the years of work .And than some one like you brings them back to life.

Re: The Snortin' bull
Thanks man, it's a neat old truck for sure. I am looking forward to getting it going. I've got a vision for it in my head...I'll be happy if I can execute it half as good as you've done.

Re: The Snortin' bull
Using the radio delete plate. A simple insert to blend the audio deck into the dash.
