Okay, so far I've restored the steering wheel and column...

welcome -

With all that empty space in your barn, you will have 5-6 projects in there soon.

Temp gauge sender

Looks nice!

One thing I will caution you on is that Edelbrock "Pro-flo" air cleaner., One back fire through the carb with a decent flame up through there and it will catch that foam insert on fire.

Ask me how I know... I almost lost a 1971 CJ-5 to fire because of that exact thing.

Yeah, I would love to add a 69 Camaro Z28, but sadly, the barn is now full of hay

Thanks for the heads up, Gary. I was planning on replacing that anyway. I actually bought it because it was cheap and I needed to keep the dirt out on the drive home

I like it!

I recently did the white nose, drop, and red wheels too... Great minds think alike!

TexasLS1 · 03-09-2016, 01:35 PM

Looks awesome!! What Master Cylinder / Booster is that?

**72 tigger** · 03-09-2016, 02:24 PM

Looks good! Sure you'll enjoy it this summer

**specialtyretail** · 03-09-2016, 02:36 PM

Looking great. I like the "little at a time" way of doing these trucks.

b.sharp · 03-09-2016, 03:01 PM

Hello neighbor, I live in Frankfort and work in Lexington. Good looking truck you got there. Let me know if you need any smalls. I have several parts trucks.
