[josh22784lori30]

is that a 14 bolt in the back?

[thegrandmarkie]

@josh22784lori30  yes 14 bolt full float

[SSHS97]

Paint it black with a red interior and triple tube chrome roll bar with 4 HC lites and it would be identical to my ol 78.

[thegrandmarkie]

@SSHS97 i like black when someone else owns it lol its a pain in the ass to keep clean !!!
