    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

    stainless breaks from the master cylinder back
    droped gas tank put in new sending unit
    flushed radiator
    new spark plugs
    changed oil

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

    ^ 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.
