Finally! After 5 years, it's done...well, not quite. There's still some work to do. But, at least it's safe to drive.

First, the engine. The truck originally came with a 352 mated to the 4 speed transmission. The block still says 352, but it's really a 390 Hi-Po, down to the factory 4-bbl intake and exhaust manifolds. There's a Holley 700 Double Pumper for fuel delivery. After the factory headers are a pair of 2.5" pipes capped off with Moroso Spiral Core mufflers, which exit just in front of the rear tires.

Finally, the interior. I don't have a headliner reinstalled, yet. As you can see, I've updated the interior just a little. That roll cage started out as a place to hang the 4-point seat belts, which were added after a great deal on those seats. As you can imagine, the cab is kinda cramped and not too easy to get into, but the fun that awaits is well worth while. That's a Nordskog digital dash keeping track of all the vitals.

The Nordskog has been replaced with a much better looking panel utilizing Autometer Guages. A new picture is coming soon!
