Wow your truck just screams BadA$$ .What kind of engine and tranny is in it?

[79widestep]

its a 350 thats been rebuilt pretty stock for now and a stock trans also for now but i wanna beef up both the motor and the trans later on for know i'm focusing on the the body mods i wanna do and the usually rust repair on these trucks u know in the bottom of the doors and in the firewall but i wanna cut the back of the bed off and round it to match the fenders in the back kinda like a ssr look and i'm thinkin of choppin the top later on too

[79widestep]

think there was one one here that done that tailgate mod on a older truck he allso used a set of extra stepside fenders as the inner fenders/tubs think it was a 56/57 apache truck because the fenders where more slanted .

you might want to raise those fenders to be level with the sidewindows and allmost loose the edge of the bed alltogether and just sheetmetal the space across the fenders in at the back to make the mod look right

Very nice truck Sperz1.

I finally have one to add to this thread too.



That's all I have for pics right now. I just got it home yesterday evening. The interior is a little rough and the body is what I'd call "good from far" but I'm glad to finally have a shortbox.
