WA418P / 83

Expect to pay over $400 per gallon. I'm not sure how many were used.

My uncle's a painter so I'll ask him how many gallons for my truck. I've been figuring a lot for paint as I like all the metallics and fancy colors.

Frank71 · 10-19-2010, 02:51 AM

Geat looking truck, congrats.

What length is the Lokar shifter, and is it mounted to the trans or a cable shift. I am looking to install one when I switch to automatic from the truck 4spd, and worried about it being to close to the seat.

**bigsnookmaster** · 10-19-2010, 08:11 AM

Congrats! Real sweet truck! I see you started with a nice truck to begin with, Smart man!

**70cst** · 10-19-2010, 08:35 AM

WOW

That is one very nice looking truck. I would have given you .5 place verses 1st place. Why...well if 2nd place is better than 3rd and 1st place is better than 2nd place. Than .5 place is better than 1st place.

Either way

on a very

looking truck

The Lokar is a 16" mounted on top of the tranny. Some people use 23" but I prefer the look and ergos of the 16"

Wow. Amazing job and incredible price. I know who is doing my headliner and door panels.

It's going to be a looked for sure, nice work.
