Just finished this truck, really fun truck to drive. Lots of new parts, I'll run thru a short list. Contact me to discuss details. All original body, other than new wood in the bed. brand new gl***, new professionally reupholstered seat, new gauges, new wipers, new wiring to 12 volt. All the gauges work as they should, currently 1100 miles on the truck, its been my daily driver the last month. New brake system including dual master cylinder, new brake lines throughout, front disc brakes, rear brakes all new , stops really well. I added shoulder/lap belts last week, didn't feel right without belts. easily removed if you didn't want the look. Rebuilt flathead includes a 4" Mercury crank, bored to 276 c.i., Max-1 cam, adjustable lifters, Sharp 4 barrel intake runs very well, lots of fun, i can give you the build details. Connected to a T5 overdrive 5 speed transmission. Truck runs too cold, normal operating temp is around 160 degrees, i would put in higher thermostats. New Coker radial tires, comes with an additional set of Mercury rims that came with the truck that are all freshly painted to match. Includes the original hub caps, plus i have a complete set of stainless trim that goes with the truck. that trim is really hard to find, a nice addition. contact me with your questions, easier to discuss than type.
start the new year with a new hot rod. I've added shoulder harness seat belts and a new rear bumper since last fall.
