Re: *Before & After*
This first pic was sent to me from the seller in November 2018 (sitting in a field in Manitoba), and now in my driveway, November 2020.

Thank you to all of you on this forum for your help and guidance throughout the build.

Re: *Before & After*
The red with flames was when I traded the 57 panel for it to get it back after I had sold it about a year or so before. The people I sold it to didn't keep it long an sold/traded it to the kid I got it from who painted it at least twice if not three times in a period of months. I found out later (while driving the truck) that every time someone's husband, father or boyfriend started gunning for him he changed the color of the truck and word was that he cut a pretty wide swath with the female population of Waco during that time. 1976 I think.

Second photo is of it at the NSRA event in Spokane in 1982 or 3.
