denmarkboy Posted April 17, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 17, 2013 Hey riverside,my old stompin ground. Well ya know what they say,"everything is for sale" .or something like that. I am technically the Secound owner. The truck was owned by the guy i got it from and his dad it whole life. I am still in a quandary as to which way to go ahead with the build. I have got it running perfect and driving,just finished the engine bay today. I will lost pictures on the morning. 1 Quote Link to comment
wayno Posted April 17, 2013 Report Share Posted April 17, 2013 If it is running and driving, just leave it, they don't make them like that anymore. 1 Quote Link to comment
denmarkboy Posted April 17, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 17, 2013 Copy that ! Just not much of a canopy/ walk thru fan. And finding a snug top canopy is proving to be harder than I thought. 1 Quote Link to comment

denmarkboy Posted April 17, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 17, 2013 Well got the heater bicameral hoses out,so I could examine the firewall. And I found a hooked tag. It doesn't say hooker headers. Did hooker make fiberglass components? It has a part # on it: 2604. The rest of the tag is gone. I will throw up some more pictures in a min. Floor on the passenger side is pretty rusty. Drivers got a lot of surface rust . Gonna strip it soon. I want to get a full picture of where to go next. And putting fuel tank back in today and hopefully pulling it outside and get some full shot of the "orange crush" project. 2 Quote Link to comment
