Allow me to introduce myself...
I'm in Charlotte, n.c. I'm a mural artist and pinstriper. I built my truck from 10/05 to 2/06. It has a fatman air ride front with 2'' spindles, 8.8 ford rear. 4 wheel disc brakes, manual master, manual steering. 350 w/ edelbrock performer cam and intake, 750 carb. Built 350 trans by Cooke's racing trans. in Cowpens, s.c.. Horse blanket interior, 55 chev. 210 steering wheel. Hidden air cond. system, 50's fairlane hood ornament..fits beautifully. All work was performed by me, in my garage, the first vehicle I've ever built. I drive it almost daily.

I like your truck, looks good. Interesting air cleaner. How about some interior pics? What kind of a/c unit are you running? The link you posted for the before pics does not work for me.

A.c. is from old air, through jim carter truck parts. It hides behind the speaker grille. not hard to install, about $900
