Re: another aussie build
Nice work chris72. What engine are you running? I know it's EFI but is that a 5.0 litre?

Re: another aussie build
flat black, kinda rat style. the cab is quite good but most of the front panels aint too good, the more i sanded, the more filler i found 
i`ll get it on the road and probably collect better bits for it. not too bad all up though!

Re: another aussie build
Hey, that come out nice.....But I'm more curious as to how you like the 5.0, and if there's much done to it?
Thanks!!

hi waynaferd, the 5 ltr is great, as in; no crappy cold starts, nice and crisp, plenty of power for what this truck needs. 4 speed is great as well, about 1600 rev`s in 4th at 100 klms ph!
some pic`s!
