Wanted something different, so i kept the 6 cylinder, and scratch built an inlet manifold, home made injection, and headers made from solder.

Bobbed the rear end, as i did not like the tray. A lot of work went into lowering it, wheels are from the spares box.

Paint is candy red over silver and black base.

They look like big rig wheels.

Probably are, and I have similar wheels that fit 23" PEGASUS tires, but looking  for a wheel similar to that above, that I could modify to fit the smaller PEGASUS 19" tire. And the wheels on D.C.'s truck appear smaller than 23" , IMHO....'Z'

This screams out for a custom ride for that bed.If you're looking to stay on that "something different" theme I suggest a motorized drifting trike with paint that matches your amazing truck.Thanks for sharing

Very nice build. Great color and finish. I like that you did something with the old "Blue Flame" 6 cylinder. Maybe some optional steak bed sides for the bed ??

Beautiful truck! A true show piece. What happened around the windshield on the passenger side?

Thanks everybody, i am very happy with the result,

EXCEPT  for the chip in the paint where the windscreen was just too tight a fit after all the paint..  ;)
