Here's a couple of pics of Paul's latest project. It was a completely stock truck except the motor when we started. It's completely done and runs and drive great.
Here is the reworked dash. I cut a dash out of another 71 at our friends wrecking yard(Pasco Auto Wrecking) and used pieces to reconfigure our dash to accept the flat screen and vintage air controls.
Here is the engine bay equipped with a new LY-6 with a Mast cam and controller.i smoothed the firewall and completely reworked the core support, removing those pinch welds on the top and filling about a hundred holes. Paul built a new radiator mount that completely hides everything.
Thanks. It was a fun project and drives like a new car. The goal was to keep it very simple, yet arm it with all the new amenities a new truck would have.although I'm not a fan of messing with these trucks too much, I think we pulled it off without sacrificing the great original look.
It's DSE. I was able to see it in my father in laws car before I bought it and it does tuck away nicely. They also send you base plates for the rocker and trunk, a midbar right behind the seats with a coupler to make it removable.
