Re: crew cab short bed build " clifford"
 

I'm good... just work all the time, I don't even have time for dirt cars anymore, so I figured I would start working on this, I already have the motor and trans built, hopefully by spring I will be ready to get some paint shot on it. You?

Just back from the salvage yard. I picked up a suburban fuel tank out of a 90 model so it has the baffle for the fuel pump. Also got all the inside wiring for my electric doors and windows. Big score on a gauge cluster with electric speedo.
Tomorrow i going to get the bed off and get the truck outside for a round the the pressure washer. Then start prepping for shortening the frame.
Wish i could start today but, i coach my sons peewee football team and today is the second round of the playoffs. Win today trip to the Superbowl.

Re: crew cab short bed build " clifford"
 

I finally decided on a color for the truck. It wa originaly charcoal, so i am going to paint it charcoal and maroon two tone, and use all the orignal trim.
Anyone got any pics of one this color?

Re: crew cab short bed build " clifford"
