After many months of
work, here's the completed truck. We're really happy with the DuPont
HotHues color - it just looks right. We've put about 450 miles on the
truck so far and it's a real pleasure to drive!
The rear 3/4
shot on a '40 is pretty neat. You can also see the tonneu cover - it's
set within the bed for a cleaner look. The white brightens things up a
bit.
In
this shot you can see the pinstripping - it's just the right amount and
style. It really helps set this little pickup off.
Here's
a shot of the interior - the downsized Crestliner wheel and custom
Classic Instruments really bring the interior to life! The 5 speed
makes it a real fun drive.
Finished
shot of the engine bay - the 385hp Fast Burn engine is dressed in a set
of Camel Toe Racing valve covers and O'brien truckers aircleaner (with
gold painted fins). We pulled the air conditioning compressor for this
first year (it just didn't look right), we'll add it before next spring
for added comfort. With the cowl vent, the truck is real comfortable
cruising down the highway as is!
Even
though the tonneu cover usually stays on, the floor is finished off real
nice.
