i plan on starting to work on my 78 w/400 again when all the snow stops... i got to change the power valve and wheel cylinders and she will be road ready... but i want to give her a face lift. what do yall think i should do and that would look good?


what id like to do:
paint red
flat bed w/duallys
black windows lights ect.
black tool box
true straight duals infront of rear tires
chrome billet grille
diffrent wheels
black push bar(bull bar) that goes where the bumper guards should be
lift it 2-4 inches

what i have done to get it running(had been sitting for 9 years):
stainless breaks from the master cylinder back
droped gas tank put in new sending unit
flushed radiator
new spark plugs
changed oil
new brain box
new battery

I'm with batman on the running boards. And the sob is loud as crap now with glass packs its gonna be ridiculously annoying straight piped out the side.

Is the bed really in bad enough shape that it needs to be removed and replaced with a flatbed?

 

[rrogers]

flatbed? cant say that i would do that.i would just freshen her up with some new paint.

Make it a 4dr short bed dually and lower it. that would be BA

^ X2 maybe not those rims... but don't put a flatbed on, unless that current bed is rusted out. Just find some dually fenders and make it look factory.

Smooth out the stock bed and lose the running boards, new paint. That's all I'd do to it. It looks like a solid truck.
