My little brother passed away around 95. He was a big Ford guy. I've always wanted to build one like his. Cant wait to see it.

Damon 23, nice truck. You can have the sun roof taken out and patched. A friend of mine had his taken out but the body man has to know what he is doing. Two layers of skin. But a new head liner covers the inside up. His looks great. Keep the pictures coming.

Damon23 · 12-23-2009, 06:55 PM

I'm not worried about the roof. This truck is going to be for sale.

GmtGmt · 12-24-2009, 10:40 PM

here you go wildchild

1LowToy · 12-24-2009, 10:52 PM

This one is bone stock, maybe one or two options. Only a toy to keep my mind occupied, hence 1LowToy.
L6
Auto trans
Power brakes
Tilt steering column
AM radio
Aftermarket AC Dealer installed
Oh yeah I can't forget the Bed Bath and Beyond side molding. (Leave it to a salesman)

Only modification installed so far is an S-10 steering wheel.

I've gathered a few goodies but I'm not ready to tear into it quite yet.
The have nows:
Stepside bed, needs a floor.
15x8 rally wheels
Bell Tech 3" drop spindles
Bell Tech 4" rear spring location brackets and shackle hangers
Polyurethane bushing kit (Don'tknow if I wanna go with that yet)

Wish list to go:
New tires. (I don't think I can get those 215/75s to air up on 15x8s)
Sway bar for the front at least. (L6 models or this one does not have a sway bar)
New wood for the bed.
Then some interior refreshers.
Maybe a 700R for behind the L6.

Time will tell

Is that an old plymouth grill?

TBARA Wildchild · 12-26-2009, 11:50 AM

No it's a 57 buick. I was looking for something different than all the grilles that you could get for our trucks, All those tube or billet ones and was going to go with the 53,54 Corvette grille till I found out they wanted $300.00 for one!! Found mine on a Hot rod forum. All told I have about $125.00 in the whole thing!
