    ok guys here we go
    this is how it came home after the buy it now button on ebay. picture history of my truck Ptulia10
    the wheels and tires wasnt part of the deal, they were off my hot rod to get it rolling. it came in from california and was fitted with a 250 six and auto box and was painted poppy red on the inside so i decided to give it a quick blow over of poppy red on the outside to tidy it up

    the 250 was proving unreliable so i rebuilt a 200 six from a mustang and that provides more than enough power, with gas prices in the uk one v8 is enough lol

    i really like the gasser look so thought some tinted windows would help with the look

    it is such a fun truck to drive, drive being the important word. no anti lock brakes, power steering and so on. skinny front tires, drum brakes and wandering steering call for forward planning when aproaching a junction Very Happy Smile Shocked
