The first picture of a 2 year frame off restoration. The truck is awaiting more work such as rollbar, lights, carb adjustments etc. Just wanted to get a photo out there.

The truck is in Watson Lake, Yukon, Canada

Really nice resto job!! I really like your choice of color. I've never seen a blue one. Looks great.

I like that, looks very nice! The color is very very close to what an 80 impact blue macho should look like...

The truck is a clone. The blue is called voodoo blue, which is a 2008 toyota paint code. I have a shipment of System One polish coming, and when it arrives I will start the colour sand and buff procedure on the blue. I have 10 coats of high solids clear over the blue. I will post a lot more pics when the truck has been completed.

Right now the truck stalls when I put it in gear. I need a different torque converter installed to correct the issue.

Still looking for a NOS tachometer for the dash as well.

The truck has a 5 inch lift so both drive shafts are going to be replaced shortly as well.

Still waiting for the roll bars and Hella lights to arrive.
