That is sharp! The rear bumper and '67 tags really add to the period feel. Very nice!

I found a set of 67 truck tags I bought for a 67 I had for a while. They are legal to run in Texas.... Only after you pay the state. I bought them at the Houston Autorama one year.

Well , the clutch is going out on the 3 speed and i have a th350 , converter , cross member and factory automatic tilt column with linkage . So yea i plan on pulling it . I was going to keep it , but after driving it a little while it really is not as much fun as i remeber as a younger man . plus my wife wants to drive it and she is 3OTT challanged . The 6'er will stay for now as im a 250 fan . I am discussing replacing the bed wood with reclaimed white Oak from a 1900's Tennesse plantation home with new painted steel stripes between them . I am going with a old style under dash air conditioner with 134A and modern compressor and a huge condensor coil ( i do refrigeraion work for a living ) . A slight window tint latter down the road and a stance adjustment when i get all the weight back in it . The ole 6 runs better everytime i drive it . I had it in the driveway the other day and a guy stopped and offered me $6000 for it just like it sits . It almost got a new owner , but my wife started fussin and tellin the guy it's not for sale .

No sale , I don't really want to sell it . Only serious guy is out of La. and he wants it as a roller . Got a grudge race on the 22nd and i'll be pulling the 355 out . It'll be nice to have a slick on it and take all that weight out . Im thinking it might even bust into the 6.20's . The 397 was being bored yesterday . Ima getter in tha 5's . Guess i need to update my old truck thread .

I Did get next to the red Mustang , but in a index jackpot type deal . Broke out with a 6.57 on a 6.60 . Would have rather gone heads up :roll: . Anyway , thought id update . Pulled the 6'er out and put the motor from the Luv in it . Still got some loose ends to tie up , but it's coming along . I'll be storing the Luv for a month or so and working on this and the Camaro for winter . I'll pull the Luv out and get the new motor in it by the end of January .
