Haha.. my thoughts exactly. I like the ride height and if anything getting a V-8 in there will bring down the front a tad bit too, all in good time however.. winter comes fast up here in Ontario and she doesnt have much driving time left!

New pic of tonneau cover and coasters plaque added today.. gettin a 1979 carb'd 302 and C-4 tanny from a t-bird this weekend

more pics will be up soon.

Its good that since you are taking pics, you are prolly not driving. However I would go to paintbrush and edit the picture of your "soda" can. LOL On to the important stuff, awesome looking truck.

You need to slam that thing, and find some wheels that arnt inset so much. Looks good though.

Did you dye the carpet or replace it?

I'm slowly converting my interior to red/black and have no idea how a dyed carpet would look.

CraKel · 09-18-2009, 11:28 PM

I dyed it using Canadaian Tires Carpet and Vinyl Spray bomb.. Only thing is if you drive it in winter the water n' snow definitely makes it bleed back to the original colors. Do it once a year and it will only cost ten bucks or so so it's not that bad. Im in the process of gettin ready to fiberglass my entire interior as we speak, doors, dash, sub box and console, even the headliner.. should look like something different when its done. And ya still havent got spacers for the tires yet so they sit in a bit more than they should. Dont have a full turning radius with the 8" wide mustang rims haha. Once the 302 goes in it will drop it a bit then just gonna get a flip kit for the rear and it will level out nicely I thinks..

looks real good. should get a new 3rd break light, the old one sticks out, and not in a good way.

CraKel · 09-19-2009, 02:54 PM

Ya I was thinkin bout puttin another caddy one in there when we did the paint.. but it would be way to big and the light scheme wouldnt work well.. If i can find one of those mini monte carlo lights thats about 6in long and 0.5in wide ill be putting that in there instead.. but its not priority right now.

Got my 302 and C4 today!! Doesn't look like much now but it's going into the shop soon to get a tune up, cleaned, fixed and hopefully bored to a 306.. Tranny runs mint, no slips, no leaks. Engine needs a carb, balancer and has a sticky push rod. Got the set for 350$ and only 112Km on it so Im not complaining. Oiled them up and put the torque convertor back on so I could rotate and compression test the engine.. The verdict = Its Good! More pictures to come as the work gets done.

Those brake lights are probably one of the coolest mods i've ever seen. A+
