Need to order some tint and get the windows tinted.

Awesome job on your truck. Worlds different and looks like a solid dd. If you get tired of it I'll be in texas waiting for it lol

Thanks! Glad y’all like it as much as I do, still have stuff I’d like to do to it but paint and interior were the biggest items to check off the list

Truck is fully reassembled, took it on a trip yesterday first half went fantastic then the ride home turned into disaster the trans started leaking fluid looked like pan gasket was leaking so got some tools and tightened it down and made it about 40 miles and it was pouring fluid, found the governor cap was gone no idea what happened to it. I poured the fluid I had left in it and limped it a gas station and had a friend of mine come rescue it. Had another cap and put a new filter and gasket on the transmission and somehow it still has all 4 gears and reverse no idea how. I think the transmission overheated because torque converter lockup was acting up so I disconnected it and think I may have caused it. Either way it safely got us off the side of the highway.

Beautiful restoration. Could I ask what paint color that is? That looks very close to what I am thinking of going with when I two tone the lower body and fender flares when I do mine.

Thought about selling my truck but believe I’m going to hang onto it. Unfortunately my friend that did the paint and bodywork passed away Wednesday night really been upset over that. Got it out of my building today to enjoy it and take some pride in the awesome work he did so I cleaned it up and added a external transmission cooler. Have been wanting to do this for quite some time.

Zseventy-one cv axles are super easy on these! The interior panels took some time to find but I managed it.And to answer both of your questions on the Buick it is a 1981 Indy Regal they made 150 cars for Indy and this is car #148 of the 150. I rescued it from a northern Va field. I also have a 1982 Grand National one of 215

Envy,envy,envy...

4 corner mod for the win.

I'd love to do this but in UK it would probably fail mot cause it'd be viewed as non working indicators. I gotta look into the regulations closer. Were they ever standard in any year of gmt400? As in working instaed of just blanks?

They were always blanks. These are fully functional with turn signal and hazards.
