It wasn’t my truck- and Stuart, the guy who owned it- was impossible to talk to when it came to that horrible bumper and the stupid side rails- they were crap, too. But he made them, and he was proud of them. I tried to change his mind, I really did.

But the rear turned out cool. I took bumper guards from a Lincoln and chopped them down into the nerfs you see. Stuart had the entire tailgate chrome plated, and I masked off the letters, top and sides and them we had it dipped and took the chome back off everywhere else. Then I panted it. So, the letters are real chrome at a VERY high cost.

It had a built, balanced 351 Cleveland, 4BBL, etc. Power steering, power brakes, power windows, locks, and shaved door handles, and I frenched the antenna. C-4 Tranny, Ford 9 inch posi rear end, Ford Mustang II front end.
