Damn this is going to seem like a whole new rig. Going to miss ol' blue, but that looks real good. I need to do something like that with my tow hooks, they keep moving.

You going to put the grille guard and bumper back on?

 

[78SWB]

Oh and the headliner is BADASS

Yes keeping the grill guard. I have a good chrome bumper (old style) depends on how the winch gets mounted.

Haha, it's not mine and I'm not doing any of the work. Just posting pictures for John's lazy ass.

How wide are those "future surprize" wheels?

Your redo looks good! Are you still thinking about the double propane intake system?

Yeah I was just going to say that they didn't have safety beads. I thought you said they did?

Very interested in your brake lock devise. Also, very excited about the AC!

 

[80' 427]

I don't know where you can get a brake lock like this one but it will kill the engine or slip the clutch even in low low. I think it will work great with the winch when pulling someone. I put the knob right where the park brake release was. Lots more room with no park brake pedal. The ac works good. May have a restricted orifice tube since the pressure is a bit high. I will fix it this winter.

 

[y5mgisi]

Well i'll be dipped if i didnt just find it i think. Alothow this one has low pressure warning switches.

This truck was a 79 so it was before safety.

 

[y5mgisi]

LOL! Indeed. THo it does look like you could just remove the pressure switches and cap them the way yours is if you were so inclined.

 

[schuttothrill]

Boogity boo Mofos! That looks pretty boss!

 

[HINZ28]

Can't wait to see it i person. Like a whole new rig to the crew
