Re: 8 Long Years in the making
WOW...... That rig looks awesome !!!
I can only hope my 74 turns out that sweet, I've been on/off it over 8 years as well but likely have a couple more to go before re-assembly. You gotta feel like a million bux cruising around....

Re: 8 Long Years in the making
WOW! Looks sweet. Where did you get them ladder bars or what ever is on the rear. Also can you get me info on the steering shaft? That is a work of art right there. I can only dream mine will be half that nice one day.

Re: 8 Long Years in the making
X2 on the traction bars. How does it ride with them? I have wanted to do that for a while. Also, very nice truck, I've never seen that blue frame with silver paint combo before and it looks great.

Re: 8 Long Years in the making
Nice, not to blingy, not too dull! That blue really pops, in a good way. Good work.

Re: 8 Long Years in the making
Nice truck! Goes to show what patience, and determination can do!
Would love a close up of the gauge cluster! I'm doing a pro-comp/sport-comp setup myself!
