I put a ford factory crate engine in the truck about six years ago when I first got the truck. I put an Edelbrock F4B and a Holley on it as well. The previous owner had just sprung for duel exhaust, a radiator and the seat recovered.
Of course it needed brakes all around and maintenance items.
I stripped another bull for front and rear sway bars and some accessories like floor lights,glove box light and clock.
I was going to power windows and factory tinted glass but decided against it because I didn't want to drill the holes.
I was using it as a gasp truck then and so I installed air bags in the rear and a compressor under the hood.

What is a "gasp truck"?

Big Blue has air bags in the back, augmenting the leaf springs, as well as an on-board air compressor. But his runs on 110v AC. How does your run, on 12v DC?

I live by DRAGWAY42 one of the oldest strips. 44287.
"Gasp" was just an expression that I would actually use my truck as a well truck.
Mine compressor runs off 12 vdc and a little remote gauge panel, thT shows the pressure and allows adjustment from the drivers seat.

You are now on the map. And I understand "gasp" now.

Just for the record. I don't use it as a truck anymore.

Posting images isn't difficult, but you need to use the 'big size' button, as the forum software can't handle large files.
