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.

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

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 ?
