Have this customer that I've been building Cudas for over the last decade brings me this 77 Macho. Says lets fix her up. I'm like ok, should be a nice change. I've owned a butt load of 61-80 trucks so this is up my alley.
Pretty clean Western truck with some very mirror rust and dents.
360 auto with vac and volt gauges and no radio.

Interior is worn and the underside looks of 39 years.

They might be wider than 9.5, can't remember for sure. They did say they would fit the 8" wheels.

They look perfect.

Only thing I would change would be long-box, but that's just me. Nice job! up

Nice work! Really good touch, adding the 8-track, and those seats are great.
