Pretty cool, it would take some time for me to get use to reaching to the left side to crank the truck up though.

FREEMAN70 · 08-04-2008, 03:55 PM

yea i just thought a little change would be alright, it will be hard puting the key on the left side.

big_al_71 · 08-04-2008, 04:02 PM

I think it looks good!!!

**SactoJim** · 08-04-2008, 04:26 PM

It's all about making it yours!.....nice job.

greasy68 · 08-04-2008, 05:07 PM

it looks cool. Is the tach tilted toward the driver? It looks like it but it may be optical illusion.

FRENCHBLUE72 · 08-04-2008, 05:17 PM

Looks really good.... Love the idea of the key on the left side..

Jack_71C10 · 08-04-2008, 05:17 PM

Looks good

Any plans for a radio?

FREEMAN70 · 08-04-2008, 05:31 PM

yea its tilted to the driver, took some welding but its done, im thinking of puting the raido in the glove box.

sleric77 · 08-04-2008, 06:32 PM

I love it .

greasy68 · 08-04-2008, 06:48 PM

I cant wait to see it completed.

FREEMAN70 · 08-04-2008, 07:36 PM

here is a couple pics of the fire wall,,, the only thing is is it is a jag color.

FREEMAN70 · 08-04-2008, 07:37 PM

i stll have a lot of work ahead of me, im just playing with colors for now.

Sinisterspeed · 08-04-2008, 09:52 PM

Must be a ford guy at heart. They have the key on the left side factory. (at least my Dad's 67 did. Not sure what others)

Nice work on it though. I always like seeing what everyone else can do when they put there mind and imagination to something. Not my style but its cool.

FREEMAN70 · 08-04-2008, 09:55 PM

nope no ford man here.

just like to do stuff different.

Andy4639 · 08-04-2008, 10:02 PM

Looks cool. I like it when people do stuff out of the BOX!!!

drewfever1020 · 08-04-2008, 10:11 PM

did u take ur dash out to do that?

**70cst** · 08-04-2008, 10:36 PM

Good job! Creativity at its best.

Brock · 08-04-2008, 10:39 PM

looks great...and a pretty durable engine to boot, it looks like your turning a little over 10G's RPM

I'd have to get used to the key placement though

72BlckButy · 08-04-2008, 11:32 PM

Nice work!

QKENUF4U · 08-05-2008, 12:03 AM

SWEET !! and you know its gonna take FOREVER to not reach to the right to start your truck. i had my auto 71 for a year or so . i put a b&m on the floor and still reached for the column shifter FOREVER till i sold it.

Dusty_case · 08-05-2008, 02:20 AM

I notice you left the heater out must be a summer driver I like the dash

FREEMAN70 · 08-05-2008, 07:01 AM

i done all the work with the dash in the truck, thats why my butt hurt so much sitting on the hump, as for the motor there is nothing special just a old stock 350. ijust like the tach looks like there is alot of POWER.
