    Got this truck a couple months ago. AZ truck. Got it running (thanks Mike). Took gauges out to have them checked out, truck wouldn't start. Amp gauge! Connected those 2 wires and it starts.(duh) Wiring is kinda all over the place. next thing to work on. Found out the truck was orig. green (see steering column thru firewall). Added a mirror base now just need to get the mirror. Found an orig. bumper that should go on soon. The engine is a '65 283 with a TH350. They both have some bugs but am working thru it. Wheels gotta go but they came with the truck. Check out the pics.

    I'll second that. Jake and I looked at a '36 Olds 3 window (just like his Buick) at the BilletProof car show. A little inspiration...........
