I love it all the way. Only thing that would be better would be if it came with an olive interior

The sticker on the tailgate is pretty cool.

Started gathering parts from the stash yesterday

Here’s what i have ready to go

Tune up parts
Fan shroud
Head lights
Black carpet
Air cleaner
Rear gate WOODGRAIN panel
Front fender molding
16” powder coated wheels
Stock caps


I’ll keep digging for more parts and see what i have for it.

My grandson hopped in and we went for a little drive yesterday he’s 4 now and has been helping me with my trucks since he was born it seems like. He said “papa i like this monster truck it’s so big are we going to keep this one”……...???

Love to find trucks in this condition and put all the items that over the years have been lost or changed out for what ever reason and put it back to original as much as possible and use these parts i have.

I was going to change the wheels back to steelies and stock caps and set the mags aside but have to say i really like the look of the mag wheels so going to think on that one.

I would like to know the Facebook post # to see if it’s the same truck, have you got that info?

Also would love to chat with the person who owned it before that would be cool.

Looking for info in PM

thanks

I don’t think I have ever seen another like it, a unique look. I liked it so much, I showed my wife, now she likes it as well. I have her wanting to change out the cover on our 72.
It’s always good to have her support!

Went through the drivers door cleaned every thing up changed out plastic door panel fasteners,sprayed some lubricant on all parts inside the door now window goes up and down very easily.

Took door panel off and cleaned it up came out nice I think.

Had some arm rest from another build sitting on the shelf those will work just fine.


On to the passenger side……

Thanks yea it is the best.

Every time I walk by it i think what’s next its almost a feeling like the old days of ditching school to hang out and work on trucks.

I keep at it until it rite.

Had this tailgate band hanging on the shop wall for along time but i think it looks way better hanging on the truck gate.

Now to remove someone’s over spray off that bumper.

Thanks for all the kind words appreciate it.
