71 Short Box project now on the road. What do you Think?
Here are some long awaited pics. I took it out for a spin tonight for the first time. I have a few little things left and some more cleaning but the project is near complete. Let me know what you think of how it turned out. It has air ride suspension, interior has been done in a beige leather, dash is from Covan's classic with the Ultra Light gauges. It has a 675 to 700 horse 454 with a ATI Procharger supercharger and some extra boost and a turbo 400. The paint is custom green with alot of green and blue pearl. I know alot of you have seen this through out the project but the pictures were all dark.

Here are some shots of the interior and the bed. Here is a pic of the exhaust that comes out just in front of the tires.

Didn't use to be one to like much change from stock. The board has changed that. Very, Very Nice!

Re: 71 Short Box project now on the road.
Bskylerj, I had hoped to see your truck in person at Goodguys Puyallup, maybe next year. Also, were you looking at the 20" Wheel Vintiques rallys, or am I thinking of someone else?
Beautiful truck!!! Last edited by CHYNSPR; 08-09-2006 at 10:26 AM. |

Re: 71 Short Box project now on the road.
I love the mix of keeping it looking some-what stock, and the custom touches... very beautifull.
Lets see some engine pics, and some smoke pics now! (you can install the old nasty rally wheels in the garage for burnouts) |
