Beautiful dash. That's in the future, once the truck is paid off.

Yeah, I love those. I wished that Pete still had them in their trucks.

Are u gonna keep the truck till overhaul or get a new one after this one reached its peak?

I like your thinking on the headlights. Be different.

I have a picture of a front fender that I think is what you're talking about but it's in a magazine. I can't find it anywhere on the net. I'll keep looking. It would look good with those lights from the dodge in your other post.

I wish I had the extra cash for that 351 as well, but if I pull another truck in the driveway my wife will kill me. :lol:

I've had the truck for 2 1/2 years now, and it currently has 155,000 miles on it. If I keep this rate up, it's going to be another 13+ years before I even need to think about an overhaul.

To answer your question, I plan to keep it until it doesn't become logical to do so.

I found it. Click here, then scroll down to the black and gray truck. The name of the fender is "Lasalle." It's swept back like the old cars and trucks, but not turned down towards the wheels. Only 542.00......................a piece :lol:

Cool ain't cheap 8)

I like those a lot. Considering a stock replacement fender would run me a bit over $600 each, a $542 fender is a deal, lol.

Something like that would work well with the other idea I had to hide the front fender supports.

Good one, I like.

I like the idea for the dash. Bet that's gonna be pricey though. Minimal gauges is a good idea but you'd still want to be able to check on things, oil pressure, air etc..... So I wonder if it would be possible to have a LED display that stays hidden in one of the other gauges till you bring it up. With remote control, of course. or better yet, little buttons hidden on the back side of the steering wheel if that's possible.

oops the headlights I like from your other post is the mid 40's Chevy not the Dodge I kept referring to. ops:

They would look sharp coming out of the Lasalle fender
