It seems like I remember seeing that truck in magazines way back in the day... did the PO give you any history on it?
It's a shame the only usable panels from your truck can't be used on this
Definitely needs a 67 clip and some marker shaving

I'm right there with ya Redneck! I'm washing it......with Aircraft Stripper!! I have done 2 or 3 trips around the neighborhood in it, trying to mark my territory.
The PO is a non-gearhead and purchased the truck at GoodGuys in Ft. Worth 7 years ago, so he has no history on it. The paint on the truck was VERY sloppy but it did hold up and prevent some rust for sure. It was garaged for the last 7 years too. The hood is stock with the metal cowl induction molded in, I thought it was fiberglass at first. The rear springs were heated, but the front springs were actually drops. The Bestop that is on it is like brand new, too bad I won't be using it.
Sorry, I got caught up in the moment.
