thomastractorsvc Posted October 31, 2014 Share Posted October 31, 2014 Cleaned up nice, glad you got it. Door felts and gaskets give these guys a call I bought all my door stuff from them for my R and B no issues http://www.oldchevytrucks.com/ The part number I think was WI204 any how when you call them they will tell you the dimensions also bought the cat whiskerstoo.

57 bcr Posted November 2, 2014 Share Posted November 2, 2014 I seen it many times back in the day and you always had it looking sharp! Was a favorite truck of mine at the time! What were the specs? Had dual full curve stacks,as I recall. Quote IF YOU BOUGHT IT, A TRUCK BROUGHT IT..AND WHEN YOU'RE DONE WITH IT, A TRUCK WILL HAUL IT AWAY!!!
