Or someone from the shop read this thread and noticed 5 and 10 months going by with no progress? Shop space is not cheap here in Michigan! Neeeeed moooore PICTURES. Is is going back to orange?

Good news John! That thing has been in there FOREVER!

Truck is going to be Medium Red which looks more orange than red but it is the original color . The color will be the only thing left original ,it started as a 6 cylinder stripper truck .The only option it had was a 350 auto trans .It will have a new crate engine and a newly rebuilt 350 trans thanks to wild Bill. It will have BuddyBucket seats ,hidden stereo and vintage air and a hidden electric antenna .It will also have a tinted rear sliding window and 8" ralley wheels and a cowl hood . I just hope it doesnt take another 2 1/2 years to complete it .

Sounds pretty sweet John! Like that original color even with the cowl hood. Steel bed? The Oak floor in my '68 got alot of praise.

Mine has the steel bed with bed liner sprayed on as I do plan to use it as a truck still unless they make it too pretty .

Verry wise. You can always re-coad bedliner, oak not so much. 1972 plastic grill?

re-coat . (oops)

Well guys my truck is really coming together finally ,they hope to have the motor and trans installed soon and then start building the front sheetmetal around it. As of tomorrow they will have all the parts Ive been hoarding including the wheels and tires.

YAHOO ,they have the motor and trans in place as of this morning .Cant wait to hear it run again ,hopefully very soon .It is looking mighty good too.

Congrats John. I know that you have been waiting for so long. Now I have to ask. When your truck is done will you guys be traveling in that ?
