I bought this truck just a few days ago and so far I really like it. Its had some nice upgrades done to it such as a fatman MII front end with power rack, a later model 302 roller motor out of a 5.0 Mustang backed by a toploader 4 speed thats spinning a 3:90 geared Currie 9 inch rear. Its riding on a set of 15" Ford Magnum 500's. The body is really solid, it has had some patchwork in the floors and rear cab corners but very minimal. It originally came from Texas and then spent a lot of time in Cali so that accounts for the solid body. The grill is pretty good, I just added the first new piece which was a left hand headlight door. I need to upgrade the M/C as for some reason they didn't add a dual reservior when they done the MII frontend. And I need a RH mirror and I'd like to find a good pair of chrome bumpers. I also need a RH inner door handle mechanism as mine has the splined shaft broken off. Looks like this is a good place to get lots of good info, glad I found this place.

I have a good door release mechanism (in one of these darn boxes, lol) - I will have to check it to see what side though.
Nice Stance!
Where are you located?

Looks like a nice little hot rod. I've always liked Magnum 500's.

I agree, those wheels look good on that truck.

If it was in my garage it would be a keeper.
