My search for a shorty D100 is over

Nice truck! Congrats, I agree with shiny grill not black, personally I'd have to have a chrome front bumper to , but that's my taste, lol, if the 3 spd is a manual I'd convert to floor shift, 3 on the tree is fun for about a week, i know many would disagree but I'd leave the slant and add a cam, manifold, carb, and exhaust. With those gears it won't take much to move that little sweptline down the road! Keep us posted on the progress please. BTW, I hope you can get the black paint off those awsome sport mirrors, those things are like finding hens teeth!
I guess I should clarify, he painted every mounlding, trim piece, handle, emblem, bumper, and the grille flat black and ALL of it will get stripped. I agree with you about the bumper. As far as the slant 6 and 3 speed are concerned, it’s staying 100% stock. I will spend exactly zero dollars on modifications for it and just leave it alone until the time comes to decide what I actually want to do with this truck.
