my 78 1/2 ton project
Well this is when I got it and I have had it for about 1-1/2 years, but now I am restoring it and I have took the bed off and some of the front clip. The interior is stripped and I plan on restoring it from the ground up. The cab is in pretty good shape but I need to put a new floor in and one cab corner, the kick panels need replacing too and the rockers, it has right now an 87 350 and I am going to rebuild a 383. It will have a 2 inch lift with 33s.
   this is after i made the changes   this is the interior before i made a few changes  this is after i made the changes  Last edited by hotrodchevy : 07-02-2008 at 07:57 PM. |
