Thats a nice lookin truck and in perty good condition too, if that was from NY there would be nothing left. I cant wait to see it all modded up, by the way how do you like that cherry bomb my friend has got a bronco with the 5.0 and he wants to put one on it.

its seemingly pretty quiet but its the 29 in long one so its a mellower sound to it, i thought bout going true duals with shorter glasspacks but i dont want too loud

May I ask why the measurements and marking on your fenders in the picts below? Anything to do with the CB install, Audio install, Spare Tire in bed mount, Tool Box Fab, Front push Bumper for lights, rust repair/paint?

Speaking of rust repair, as someone who has done a lot of rust and body work, may I advise you to journey southwest and find a rust-free truck to start with rather than fixing up a beater? Trust me, as someone who has rescued a lot of beaters while living in rust-land, it is worth it to start with a clean unit. After spending 10G fixing up a rusty truck, you will have a ten thousand dollar rusty truck.

I've partied a few times around Strawberry Lake, a little southwest of you. Back in those days I was driving an ex-police 1967 AMC Rebel 390 with cherrybombs. Maybe even partied with your momma: see if she remembers the car...

Really?
So all those pics below were you measuring and marking where you were going to cut a hole for antenna? And the pics of the fender mounting bolts were the ones you were going to unbolt for access to mount antenna? And the measurements of the fender bolts were so you could get the fender back in the same spot? And that is why you measured the fender gap?

I can see that you are really going to depend a lot on that “family friend who owns a body shop!”

Or am I reading this wrong here? I don't get it.:icon_confused:
