Shawn, that looks really choice. Great Job on it. I hope my 460 looks half that good. Yeah, the sound doesn't do it justice, but I bet in person it is suuuwwweeeeet! TR

thanks TR, it does sound good even with my own bent 2 1/2 pipes through flowtech warlocks, nice n deep, not too loud either, the better gas makes it run smoother, its been sitting al lwinter and ive just fired it up once a month to get the fluids moving, hoping to get more motivation and finish the damn body this fall

I was looking at my various slicks, and decided I really do like that '62 the best of all the grills.

Dunno, it just looks right.

I have been off track for a while, but im ready to get back to work on it, it took a ton of work to get him where he is now, and really needs to get finished. gonna make it back over there today to get some more cleaning and "mind set" to get that body finally finished and ready for paint

Well Shawn your missing the left turn signal, and still using the single line pot master cylinder.

But all in all it is a great looking truck

If only I was that far along. P.S. I don't think that horn its correct for your truck.

paul yup its one of them rare one sided turn signal vehicles lmfao, actually I do have the part, its in a box onin the bed, I found a way to cleam them up really nice with my dremel tool, unfortunately my dremel tool broke the past week so I need to fix that before I can get them cleaned back up and put on, btw that was JC's job lol
and no the Aoogah horn was not factory

I actually got them from home depot, lol 18 bucks for all of them vs 80 for the ones from a street rod sales store, cant complain about that

here is another shot, I put the glass tonneao cover on it, fits pretty nicely, came off a newer dodge 3/4 ton pickup and didnt fit as well as it does on this one
