You really got that cab clean. What did you use to get it down to metal like that?

First, I used aircraft stripper and a sanding brush attached to my drill. :crazy:

Second, I will continue posting photos to try and catch up to where it is now. The avatar photo is what it looks like today.:hot:

How long have you owned the truck?

That is the truck as it sits today. I bought the truck in 1997 and started working on it in 2001. This has been a long and hard road so far. Still need interior, wheels and tires and exhaust system.

Engine. I bought this crate motor from Doug Herbert. I got it for what I would have paid to build one myself. It is a 383 stroker with 425 HP. It originally had one demon four barrel carb but I wanted the Edelbrock endurshine dual fours manifold.

What front suspension did you put on it?
