I'm not normally big fan of flame paint jobs, but I like it :beer

I think it'd look good with some clean looking tube bumpers

Any plans for it?

 

[rvcam]

Here is a list of future plans for it.

Fix all problems in list above
Racing Seats
Custom Rear Bumper/Tire Carrier
Winch Mount in Front(I already have the Winch)
Antenna Mounts for 2-Meter and CB
Headlight Covers
Mud Shields and Skid Plates
Rear Disc Breaks
Roll Cage
Dual Batt Setup
Paint(I am thinking Green or Blue. I like the flames but they are a bit too flashy for me)

Way in the future Plans

460 swap
35" Boggers
Lockers

Oh and I plan to get rid of the lift blocks and go with a shackle flip.

I would have taken it wheeling by now but I am having problems with getting a clean title.

Nice looking rig, I've never seen the sunroof idea before I like

Looks pretty good. Someone was well into a project. What kind of deal did ya get?

 

[Ziggy]

You've got a good starter rig, things to fix isn't as extensive as my list was but looks good. Sunroof looks identical to mine which leads me to believe that these were a dealer installed option.

I paid too much for it but I really liked it so I bought it anyway. I paid $2800.

It seems factory to me. I was thinking it could be a really well done custom job, but if it looks the same as yours I bet it was a dealer option.

The reason I like the sunroof idea, is the PO cut a whole in my roof for a CB antenna. So I've already got a hole anyway, why not just cut in bigger, LOL!

Could of been dealer installed but I doubt it. Back in the early 80's when I worked at my Dad's parts store a sunroof, right next to headers, was one of the biggest selling aftermarket items we carried in stock. It wasn't that hard to cut a hole in the roof and put one in.

It seems factory to me. I was thinking it could be a really well done custom job, but if it looks the same as yours I bet it was a dealer option.

Definetly not a factory item.

Awsome rig!

 

[thin blue line]

nice looking truck really dig the flame job. you only paid to much if it wasn't what you wanted.

 

[rvcam]

Ok, so the 400 did not put out much horsepower stock only 169hp. But with my Edelbrock intake and 600cfm carb could someone guesstimate for me about how much hp I would have now?

Mine had a sunroof and I welded metal over the hole and repainted it All they are good for is leaking lol
