Old Red
 
Been working on this one for a month or two and just got the last bit of details done to it so it can make it to its new owner, This was a Fun truck to build and im gonna kinda miss it lol Its a fun truck to drive and to me looks cool... So as most of you saw some pics in the buy/sell here are some you didn't see

This started out as a globe chassis that I tapered the rear and moved both front and rear axles made half fenders and mounts as well as the gas tank:D

Now as for the "working class" look we were going for I custom made a rear light panel and dechromed the hangers and painted them black
