here's some pics of the 87 v10 i just bought from my old boss at the first job i ever had in 1981. He never had anything but a pickup so for the 1st time in his life he's driving a car.

For some reason, the running boards, mud flaps, visor, and the grill remind me of a big trucj, like a c5500 kind of truck. It just looks like a beast.

most of that is going except the visor because of the holes. right now i just want to get some kind of exhaust on it ( it has one but way too quiet)

     Where was all the diamond plate at ?  Inside the bed or ?
