< Jealous! I love these trucks. Have you seen this thread?

Re: 1991 ss350
 

No i hadn.'t Just went through all 10 pages though thanks . It will be base clear black with the factory markings .

Re: 1991 ss350
 

Very nice truck! Will you be changing the mirrors back to sport mirrors?

Re: 1991 ss350
 

Yes , i have the mirrors and they are gonna be painted also . The previous owner wanted the big ones for his boat so he swapped them .

Seems there is alot of controversy about these trucks . Some say they made them . so say they didn't . Mine came from the original owner and he was an older gentleman . The story i got from him was the emblems on the doors were factory and he drove it off the lot like it is now . I took the stickers off as its going to paint monday . Mine does have the RPO codes listed in the thread link posted . He also told me that he lowered the truck to make it easier to get in and out of .

Trying to tbi driver with some pep . Hoping these will work together . May get the Pre LT1 ,, Lo5 heads and put on it .

Re: 1991 ss350

Re: 1991 ss350
 

Good info right there . Thanks

Re: 1991 ss350
 

Dropped it off at the body shop for paint this morning . It is surposed to be finished friday evening .

Re: 1991 ss350
 

Went by to take a look at it today and these guys are going a great job . Looks like it will go in paint thursday morning and be ready friday morning . All the guys in the shop were excited about it . Seems they dont often get the chance to do a full base clear job as alot of people just want budget paint over dings and such . Really looking forward to seeing it . Here is a pic update .

Re: 1991 ss350
 

Got a couple of dings and dents in there huh? Truck looks good. Hopefull the paint work will turn out as good as the body work. Did they do any work to the cab corners at all?

Re: 1991 ss350
 

None , no rust on the truck at all . Mainly door dings on that side due to garage parking . They also stripped the roof and hood due to the factory paint issues of that time . The tauras in the background had just come out of the oven and i was impressed , so im not to worried about the finish . They had 2 other black cars there that i looked at and i was pleased . I do intend to drive this truck and im about 4 miles from the gulf/ Galveston Bay so weak paint is not an option .

Re: 1991 ss350
 

Looks like it will be monday before they finish it up . Here current pic update , pre cut and buff . Top of the line base / clear Maaco Baytown . I think it looks good .

Re: 1991 ss350
 

well typically i frequent the drag race section with my Luv ,, so im race oriented . I was discussing the motor build with a buddy of mine and my machinist and my buddy had 7 SRP forged 2 relief flat tops . so i bought 1 new one . The block is set to be machined next week . I also had a set of world product torquer S/R's with one bad intake valve . Found out i can modify the 72* center intake bolts and use these with the TBI intake . Should be a nice motor .

Re: 1991 ss350
 

I think it looks better then good. Looks almost flawless. Is it just run of the mill black? Or is there like flake or anything in there? Is this going to be daily driven or is it a weekend cruiser?

Re: 1991 ss350
 

It is standard black as i was trying to go back factory . It has their top of the line clear coat . I would like to order the the factory graphics forthe billboards/sides and tailgate . Would you be able to get me the factory numbers ?

I originally bought this to use as a daily "beater" to counter the cost of Diesel . My daily now is a ext cab 4 x 4 and it is nice to have a short bed reg cab . It is nimble and easy to manuver . I have been driving the Big Ford for 9 years now and even though im not selling it i am ready for something different now and then . The Luv is more race and weekend . The 49' im afraid to even pull out of the garage . So this will do split duty with the powerstroke .

Re: 1991 ss350
 

Yeah tomorrow when I'm at work i'll get the numbers for the bed sides.
