I finally got my brother to clean his up and still long enough to take some of these shots. We just put a new 350 in his about two weeks ago. His is the red and silver 83.

terryks tht dash is amazing looks to be a corvette dash for tha main part then a 57 belair for the main instrument cluster. Very nicly done make me what to do it to my truck but getting a rust free 57 belair dash is hard. Have one but it for my 57 tho. once again very cool idea.

oh it a 59 dang still looks like what i said to me any way.

I had 40inch Hawgs on my one ton, and they had to be my favorite. They lasted a long time and worked great in the mud and snow, but the sound they made going down the freeway was pure music.
