Man that is one heck of a job and the color is great definately makes the truck

OARNGESI · 04-06-2009, 03:06 AM

Nice job

larry may · 04-06-2009, 05:43 AM

We built the tank from steel plate. Welded it into a tank . Added angle iron to side of tank . Mounted between the frame drilled the holes where we wanted them. Roads are a bit rougher than lower 48 so needed a tank built tuff.

The seats are 1968 buddy buckets I bought them from a really great board member at St Joesph Missouri. I will have to search for the additional pictures for under the hood. Thank all of you for the comments . I was not sure what would be said. Glad to have been able to share this ole heap with you.Larry

larry may · 04-06-2009, 06:51 PM

Nate its a roller engine and very healthy. Also runing a Lakewood bell . Do not trust the pp and clutch under the load. It is not a drag ride and not a racer. but is a good quality solid engine.

CG · 04-06-2009, 07:13 PM

Nice ride. Interior is very nice. Can hardly wait to see what you do for an encore.

**stllookn** · 04-06-2009, 08:09 PM
