It's an '81....20r 4spd.....I just finished painting it yesterday and the flat black needs to cook awhile,be scotchbrited and then cleared with satin clear(hence the overspray on the tires which are being replaced with Coker wide whitewalls anyway)..I'm going for the rat rod big truck look with it....I am building a 9" windshield drop visor for it,got a brand new Mack chrome bulldog for the hood last week,the mirrors are off an '86 Suburban,bed rails are from a discarded bunkbed....old watermelon glass lens cab lights and a pair of burro crane twin chrome air horns for the roof yet to be installed..polished diamond plate tool chest that I'm countersinking 4 2 1/2" lights w/blue dots into...I ordered 4 blue dot '59 Caddy tail lights for the rear to replace the stock lights ....I went to have dual straight pipe stacks put on it this afternoon,but the guy was to backed up to get to it today.....I'm going with 2" raw that I'm painting high heat BBQ pit black and then adding chrome heat shields off of a stock HD exhaust system that a buddy gave me.
This winter it will get a 22r,5 speed and I'm going to try to figure out how hook the 4 spd behind the 5 spd to give me a 5x4 twin stick set up ( looking for that info brought me here in the first place
)...it's ugly,but in only 230 more monthly payments of $613.99 she'll be mine ALL MINE
