That truck is beautiful :thup:. Everything about it is so clean and nice looking, I really like the simplicity of the door panels and the way the off white armrest contrasts against the green of the door panel. Nice truck 8).

thanks for putting the pictures on here for me.the arm rest is screwed to the door so it is strong enough to pull on.the door panel is held to the door by hook and loop fastners.those pictures were laast fall.the only thing left is the molding around drip edge,paint the hood and finish the tailgate.thanks for all the comments.

Wow, I like the Serpentine belt pulley setup. How long did it take to build this monster?

Doesn't look like serpentine. Looks like a multi-groove belt and pulleys.

Still, looks GREAT!!!

That's not an oil leak :nono: That's SWEAT from all that HORSEPOWER!! :thup:

Well here goesit, I am not good at all on computers, no place to use a ratchet and socket on it.
That water pump and altenator drive system looks like a gilmer type system that pro comp electronics makes and jegs sells. I have the same setup on my 393W in my 69.
