Default Old Red
Been working on this one for a month or two and just got the last bit of details done to it so it can make it to its new owner, This was a Fun truck to build and im gonna kinda miss it lol Its a fun truck to drive and to me looks cool... So as most of you saw some pics in the buy/sell here are some you didn't see

This started out as a globe chassis that I tapered the rear and moved both front and rear axles made half fenders and mounts as well as the gas tank





on/off switch on front bumper



Now as for the "working class" look we were going for I custom made a rear light panel and dechromed the hangers and painted them black


Front fender flaps



And with body on (cab now has wipers and rear window and rear hub back on LOL)





Well that's about it for this one Thanks for looking!!
