just went thru your thread for the first time. I am JEALOUS! i didnt know you were going this far. I can see why youre looking for a og red paint tailgate. i was gpoing to go with those rims also but i think ill go 5 lug steelies and the 67 dog dishes instead. i ran across some 5 lug 15x8s
for the rear.
it looks like im going to have to step up my game!!

i still got that fender waiting for you

HotRod C/10 · 03-24-2013, 06:27 PM

Ha......I planned on sticking a running 350 in it and drive it a year ago...I took it a bit too far. Thanks for theprops.......ill grab the fender on the next trip

Looking good, that old paint shined up nicely. I got a hold of the guy from Florida with the driveshaft. I'll probably get it. Looks to be the right size. Thanks for the tip.

HotRod C/10 · 03-25-2013, 10:29 AM

awesome...thanks again for the driveshaft.

RRC · 03-27-2013, 02:18 PM
