She has done everything including but not limited too putting the cab and new bed on a freshened frame, Putting a motor in it, rewiring the entire truck and a bunch of body work under my supervision.of course.She will be painting it as well. YES I am a very proud father. Here is what it started like its hard to tell how jacked up it was when we got it Link to comment

Tell your daughter to keep it up and everyone on here will want more pics. Yep its the same one. Thanks wayno that shows how bad it really was. (Heck the bed was filled with trash and needles almost walked away when I saw it). I learned that it was a show truck back in the 80's so I knew it it needed to be saved. Link to comment
wayno Posted May 4, 2011 Report Share Posted May 4, 2011 I was really impressed with the convertible top package/conversion, but the rest of the truck was ugly, even the dash/instrument cluster was broken. In these photos you can see it was a professional conversion, for the day. The guy didn't give me any show truck story, just a lot of drunken weekend bullshit. Link to comment
chris67 Posted May 14, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 14, 2011 Change of plans we have decided to dump the huge:lol: motor in it now and put a V8 in her nothing big most likely a Ford 289 or 302 Link to comment
flatcat19 Posted May 14, 2011 Report Share Posted May 14, 2011 For the mirror, I used one from a 620. If you still have the leg that hangs from the roof, unscrew it. Find a 620 mirror at the SY. Remove mirror at ball. Install on to 521 leg, tighten, reinstall. Pefect fit. Link to comment
