Dave, I did go to the gallery and post a picture of my truck. I have since put new rims on the back of the truck that match the front. I was not going to do that because the front is based on a chevelle which has a 4 3/4 inch 5 bolt pattern and the rear is the original rear end with a 6 bolt pattern but I did it and when I change the rear end out I will put 4 3/4 inch 5 bolt pattern on it as well. I hope you can find my picture. Let me know what you think. Regards

I found the pic just fine, Rich. Great looking old chebbie!!! What other mods do you have slated for it??? We all know a hot rod is never really done !!!!!!!!

Dave, I am trying to get some instructions to put a wooden bed back in it. I bought the oak boards, polished stainless steel straps and bolt kit from the Truck shop but they sent no instructions with the stuff. I have no idea how it is supposed to go in the truck. I have that to do. I need to replace the intake manifold gasket. I have put the battery under the truck on the frame so I have gotten some remote battery terminals that I want to mount on the inner fender. I want to change the manual brakes over to power assist brakes. I would like to change the rear end out. I have a 5 bolt pattern on the front and a 6 bolt pattern on the back and I would like top drop the rear end ration down from 4:11 to 3:73. I would really like to put a Ford 9 inch in it. Other than that I would eventually like to change the engine out and put something a little hotter in it. Talk to you later. Rich
