New parts truck, International Scout ll. Also, might use it as another entry..dk we will see!

*almost forgot to say..the guy I bought this one from is also the guy I bought the 1960 Fleetside from, and he said he ordered it for a guy about 2 weeks ago and he never came and got it...so he just let me have it!* I think I will be getting more stuff from this place in the future

Alright, so I have a theme finally! Primed the bed just a little bit ago, post some pics once it's dry (and maybe after a second coat). All the cab work that i plan to do is done...Next thing is the bed..THEN another model will be started!

Well, here is the finished product. lol. If the some pics are blurry and y'all need better ones, I can get some just let me know.

Interior -
In the 5th pic, if u look at the door there is a sub, there is also one on the pass. side. in the 6th pic you can see the amp right above the seat. Also have a custom dash, rhd and bench seat.

Exterior -
EVERYTHING is shaved for the most part, sunroof, chrome bumpers and head lights, 350 engine threw the hood. Also has a frenched license plate

Air ride Setup -
Airbags, air tank, compressor.

Paint -
Gloss black, Chrome, Metallic green.




















Hope you guys like it! Oh and the name of this truck is Lady Luck (being I got so lucky with prices for the parts) I already told Mike I had a different name for it. There was also four leaf clovers going down the side, but I went to add something and they screwed up, so I had to paint over them. Good luck to everyone else!
