Frank from Advance Auto on Pawling Ave. ordered us the NEW "crate" 460 long block, Edelbrock manifold and carburetor for "stock" power plant reliability...

Southern Rods got my credit card number for the:

  • New Wiring harness

  • Chrome tilt steering column

  • Southern Air - Heat and A/C Kit

  • Lokar 23" shifter

  • 59' Caddy style air cleaner

  • Lokar SS throttle / kick-down cables and more that I can't think of right now

 

I couldn't resist Ron Francis's web site for the matching S'nergy ignition and dash switches....

Just returned from Glenmont.... Guy out there had a four AWESOME gray leather seats from a late 90's GM mini-van... One bench with bucket backs, arm rests and a fold down center console and 3 buckets with arm rests (one seat is power)

Probably going to use the bench with bucket backs... Already has a slider, which is really cool...

 

Everything else on the truck is BRAND NEW.... Or brand new in the (MANY) boxes of parts that came with it...
