History
Bought the truck fresh off the boat in 2011 after looking for over 6 months for a decent well priced honest truck. Wasn’t running when I received it. However I was lucky after I pulled the carby down and changed fuel pump filter lines etc she fired up like new. The car had been sitting in a shed for near 5 years before shipping so the story goes and after inspecting all elements there was definitely signs of being true. Found the engine was a recent (last 10 years) Edelbrock crate motor with all the performer series accessories. All cleaned out and given some TLC as well as numerous modifications such as....
Interior upholstery
custom gauge cluster with aqua dolphin gauges
drop spindles lowered spring in the front with drop shackles hangers and springs in rear.
restored custom bed wood made from Aussie hardwood (Tallawood)
New set of staggered fit 22 inch rims
Billet grille
Shaved door handles and rear tailgate.
Custom Cadillac tail lights shaved into rear wheel tubs.
Custom twin exhaust with H pipe.
New MSD ignition HEI Dizzy
Did almost all of the work myself with like minded mates and every now and then my car is our campfire and I love it.
Modifications
In the future I would like to pull the motor out and either drop in an LS motor with some good power modifications or more than likely keep it old school and rebuild the small block strong and stroked to 383 and with a 671 blower on top and buy a Harley to drive daily to work.
