I have a rust free 77 with a 73 windshield pillar on it. It needs a new home.

Truckin' Magazine used US Body's 67-72 fiberglass to build a street legal pickup:

Quote:
Last year, Truckin' magazine got involved with Greg Barone and driver Ron Fassle from Chandler, Arizona, as they fabricated and built one of these badass, street-legal drag trucks. Refer to the July '02 issue, featuring our World's Fastest Street-Legal Pickup Project.

They are EXPENSIVE! I have one of their tilts for mine and the quality is GREAT. They have a reputation for putting out Great stuff and I can personally vouch for that.
