Description
The truck is finished in matte green with black fenders and running boards over brown leather upholstery, and power comes from a 360ci Magnum V8 equipped with FAST electronic fuel injection and paired with a five-speed manual transmission and NP24 transfer case. Additional equipment includes a Braden MU-2 winch, a wood-lined bed, air conditioning, power steering, ARB air lockers, four-wheel disc brakes, retractable side steps, and black-painted Stockton wheels. Note that a number of photos in the gallery were taken in January 2020. Black-painted Stockton wheels feature Warn locking front hubs and are mounted with Super Swamper Radial/TSL tires. Stopping power is provided by four-wheel disc brakes, and the brake calipers were repainted in 2019. The cabin features replacement front seats and a rear bench trimmed in brown leather with white stitching, as well as black door panels and carpets. Shoulder belts are fitted for front seat occupants, and amenities include a Vintage Air A/C system, electric windows, and power steering. The air conditioning system was recharged with R134a refrigerant in August 2019 by Driven Speed Shop of Gilbert, Arizona, and the power-steering pump was also replaced at that time. A black three-spoke steering wheel frames a Classic Instruments 10k-rpm tachometer, a 200-mph speedometer, and auxiliary displays. The six-digit odometer was reset during the build and shows just over 800 miles.
