Default She is finally Home!

Just a few pics of our old girl as she is finally up and running again after 15yrs of sitting in the garage. I want to thank all of those people who helped in the forums when I had any questions, it was greatl appreciated. I have a few more tweaks to get done... like headlamps and tail lights still need wired in, turn signals work... so she is road worthy, and a real good detail.

While the whole truck is extremely well done, I am particularily envious of the banjo steering wheel and that bench seat. Makes me wanna go on a road trip. Thanks for posting.

That is a great lookin' truck! It's funny, when I was a kid, I thought they were just about the ugliest thing around; now, I'd give my eye-teeth to have one.

It's funny how maturity and a bunch of years can improve one's taste.

Great job, get yourself a YouTube account and take some video of it driving on the road.

I'm with tubman, Id LOVE to have it too. X 2 on the steering wheel etc. Nice garage too. Oh, a pic of the engine is very necessary, the heart of that fine truck.
Thanks for sharing !!!
