    I had been trying to hunt this truck down all summer, since I seen it for sale at the Rust Revival this past spring. well the planets finally aligned and it popped up here on the HAMB for sale a few weeks back, and I had just sold my 36, and it is now MINE. Needs a little TLC, and some touch up, and to complete the interior, but all in all a great little truck. 289, C6, stang II rtc. I already put some shorter tires on the front, installed a kickdown for the trans, and swapped out the 2.79 gears for 3.55's. Needs a headliner and some overspray removal, but thats all easy stuff. I am happy to own the little guy.

    I'm pretty happy with it. Trying to chase down a 65mph+ shimmy in the steering wheel, not real bad, but it is annoying. Had a full new drive shaft built and balanced, rearend pinion shimmed 7 degrees, all tires checked for balance, and frontend alignment re-checked as much as possible, (too Low to put the alignment head on the wheels). Kind of at a loss at what to check next. But other than that all bugs seem to be worked out, and just need to detail it a bit. Interior is now complete.
