Then I can drive the wheels off of it. I haven't had a nice set of wheels since 20 yrs ago. That's when the wife and kids came along...LOL!!!
The sleeper is only temporary. I know it should come off, but I was 18 when they came out and I've always liked them on the old square bodies.
I plan on changing the round headlights to the '80 square frontend tonight. I put factory buckets in it too that I had recovered 20yrs ago. I also installed a hidden hitch. I've got lots to do to it in the future, but for now, she's a driver. |
Beautiful truck! I love the color combination!
