So I have had this truck since about 2006 and have been very funds limited to get it drive able. When I bought it it was a complete basket case that had it's last set of tags expire in 1982. It had been through multiple peoples hands all treating it like a project and dis-assembling it a little further each time with no progress toward saving it. I had slowly accumulated a small pile of parts that I purchased each time I could spend a few bucks on it. So summer I made a large push to get at least one drive on it before storing it for the winter(was only going to insure it for 30 days). Anyways, I got all my parts installed plus a few more that I bought as I was working last summer. First drive is about two miles. Second drive is about 20 miles to the exhaust shop. Problem free getting there. Came home on a flatbed, so much rust on the gas tank that it plugged up my filter completely. Called AAA to haul it home. Parked it back inside for the winter and bought a gas tank this spring. Have about 1200 miles on it so far this spring/summer.
Anyways, I started off by taking it apart to the frame. Coated the frame in POR-15. Installed a 75 c-10 front crossmember for the disc brakes and rubber bushing style control arms, installed three inch belltech drop spindles and got rid of the coil springs for airbags
. In the rear I did a C-notch and again got rid of the coil springs for airbags.
It is nothing special under the hood at the moment, just a 350/350 combo. Looks stock under the hood except for the valve covers and aircleaner.
So here is what you have been waiting for. :mrgreen:
