78kingcab Posted May 1, 2009 Report Share Posted May 1, 2009 Ok so I have been working on this truck for a little bit now, the first day I drove it home I thought I was going to die. For 3 days after that trip I tryed to sell it untill Dat620guy that talk me into not scrapping it LOL. Nothing worked no lights, heater, dash, blinkers nothing.here is the day I bought it So of course first things first Wheels Temporary tahoe, And lower it. Then had to tint the windows so I wouldnt get laughed at Next I added HID's Because I couldnt see out of the bitch and door mirrors mounted up top with blinkes because when the windows fog up in the winter i wont have to roll the windows all the way down to see Now I adde3d the GT steering wheel so it didnt feel like i was driving a school bus, and fixed the wiring what a pain New harness better change the dash too Changed the front clip and bed because it was not straight and rusted out Next I started the body work Shaved tailgate handels and added them to the inside 16inch weels just didnt do it for me so i Got some titan 18inch wheels had them honed out and got the low pros Got the wheels on shaved the bed seams and dee hooked it body work almost done Now its time for the primer, and this is how the bitch sits for now Interior has new carpet and del sol seats, Tinted lights, ill post up more pics later and!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

LAtely I've been wanting to see flat/satin red with gloss black accents on a datto. Sorta like this z, but flat red/ gloss black. I've also been digging on Truckula. It is a badass `46 ford truck that is satin black with gloss metalflaked scalops. You can see a ton more pictures of it in the June/July Ol Skool Rodz magazine. Quote Link to comment
