95 Long bed Reg Cab named "Stitch"

Just a little heads up, make sure to do a little research when buying turbo headers if you get forward facing. I used the CX Racing and I have to change up my whole steering, but I got equal length headers! The cheap ebay ones allow you to use factory steering, but you get cheap headers. Give and take......

Not going cheap lol still unsure who I am using, but it will be a passenger side mount with a rear crossover.

Right on... i didn't know! Just wanted to think out loud...

So I am relocating my battery in the truck as I want a cleaner engine bay. My plan has been since I thought to do it is, to find a vintage steel belted cooler and make it a storage and battery box. I finally found one that someone does not want over $100 for and will be picking it up this weekend, it will stay the green color too and get a few choice stickers as well. Anyone know what would be best to protect the current patina of it?

Wow are those things really going for that much? I'm 99% sure I have that exact same one out in the garage somewhere.

I had to go look. I found it hanging out with the original driveshaft from my red truck. They're almost identical, mine is blue though. Pretty sure it originally belonged to one of my grandparents.

Yep they are considered "vintage" so everyone thinks they can charge an arm and leg for them.

I think I am going to try the carnuba wax method or boiled linseed oil, although a satin Polyurethane would work too lol
