you know, i havent seen that truck in about 6 months and coincidently i saw it today parked nearby my house. im sure it wasnt yours now cuz the datsun logo on the tailgate was painted yellow and matches the rest of the truck. heh, speak of the devil....

Doesn't have to be a Datsun 8-track. In fact most guys back then installed under-dash units. You should have seen the huge 8-track monster that I mounted in my CJ5... it was suppose to be a floor mount unit, but I bolted it to the dash..

 

OK, I think I got carried away. I wasn't expecting to win all these auctions on Ebay... I now officially have over 100 8-tracks.. Guess I'd better start listening.. Some pretty interesting artists as well. Next project will have an underdash 8-track player (got one of those now too)... Ha! Groovy baby! :D

Well at least that makes me feel al little better about today's youth. I like the inside of your cab.. very retro. I also like your canopy shell... I need to find a solid one like that with no windows for my 620.

 

Nice job! :lol:

ok... pull my arm:rolleyes:

i was wonderin when someone would ask bout that. had it for about 10 years but havent really done much with it. just kinda torn on what to do with it. been wantin to just restore it and lower a little. but after seein the blue one grace the pages of Minitruckin, i really want to bag and stock-floor body drop it. dont worry, body would stay completely stock but i would have to cut into bed and frame. the real dilema is i dont know if i can physically allow myself to cut into it:eek:

Love it or hate it, You've got to appreciate the talent in crushed velvet interiors of the 70s and 80s. I plan to do Wasserman's Wonder up in blue C.V. and just purchased 20 yards. In "surfing" for C.V. ideas I ran across this a little bit ago. Check out these ideas!!!

Sorry,but a white header,pistol grip shifter from a 70 'Cuda,painting it Plum Crazy and Polished slots are all i'm prepared to do.I still have nightmares about lime green shag carpeting.

 

But i remember the bumper stickers on vans that said:"don't laugh-your daughter might be in here".:eek:
