I actually bought it polished, and just repolished it with Mothers polish to get it to shine. So $30.

 

mother's polish rocks! the pieces of the dash you have in already look super good for the age of the truck. are they after market?

 

I love those pieces. They aren't aftermarket, they're out of a base model 1980 Toyota. Its the one I cut thr roof off of. It was a really well kept truck that got into an accident. By the time I found it the interior was gutted the doors were gone the bed was gone and the motor/tranny/axle were gone. But everythign else looked brand new. So I took the roof and dash inserts. My truck is an SR5, so it had the ugly ass fake woodgrain inserts.

 

good find man

 

Spent way too much money today. Lol.



Also got some smog/wiring stuff, new window regulators for both sides, a set of Asco 3/8" valves, a gallon of paint , and a set of new pedals to remodify and maybe send out for chrome if theres time.

Also, need badly and very quickly a one piece rear window for a 79-83 truck. IF anyone has one lemme know.

 

I'll check it out. I'd rather not travel. I foudn one like 2 hours away. But in the Mustang it would cost me $40 to get there and back. I could have a new window for not much more than the gas would cost.

 

I check the pirate board quite often. Just don't post there, because that place is worse than SSM.

 

hhaha yeah ive been lurking pirate for about 6 years and posted 4 times

 

Yeah I got reamed once for trying to help. I don't post so much now.

 

i love those mirrors , i almost bought some like that for my old truck

 

Yeah, I've been driving around looking at them on the daily for a while now. And it finally clicked, "Those would look sick on my truck."

 

yeah dude they are sweet , the ones i was gonna get were off a 67 chevelle

 

That is one sick truck man! keep us updated on the progress! My toyota was an 81 and i still miss it today. Don't ever let Franky go you'll regret it in the long run i just sold my 88 and lost interest in her. And the guy that bought her of me helped me put it back together now i want her back! So keep frank these old skool trucks are hard to come by! I guess i'm gonna start working on my daily driver and making her my show rig!
Keep up the work on franky Twistedmetal. Franky is looking real sweet.

 

the mirrors look like the ones on my 72 nova

 

Thanks Muddertrucker.


Skip, they're 64-66 Mustang mirrors. No idea why my 67 has them. 67-68 came with square mirrors. Lol.

 

Yeah twisted metal. What the guy doesn't is i took her out for one last draggin just me and the truck. Just for old times sack. It was a nice day and took her out. Before the guy comes and gets her tomorrow!

 

Most of the wiring is done. The ignition just needs to be wried, and some little interior stuff.

 

Its coming together nicely! Cant wait to see this bish done Seth.
