I didn't bother painting the timing cover and oil pan since I'll be installing a cam and will be installing a shallower oil pan

Re: my 80 build
 

few change of plans I'm going to do a frame off frame swap since mine has been shortened and its bent, its been likes this a lot longer than Ive had it

Re: my 80 build
 

And so the snowball begins. :lol:

It's better to do it now, or it will bug you from now on. Take your time. As good a job as you have done on the truck so far it should turn out great.

Re: my 80 build
 

X2! good advice John

Re: my 80 build
 

what type of exhaust do you have on truck

also how wide of a rim can I fit on back of mine

1977 swb

What are the total inches you lowered the truck

LOOKS NICE

Re: my 80 build
 

oh I no I been wanting to it 4 years since I noticed the frame was hacked and nothing lines up and also when I patched the floors I used lmc lay over floor pans over the rusty floors so I will be cutting those panels out with new pans, the lower cowl panel has a little rust and when the past owner shorted the frame he curled up the rear brake lines so I plan on installing all new brake lines.

Re: my 80 build
 

I have true dual header header back exhaust with 2 1/4 pipe that ends behind the rear tires with flow master 40 series, I would like to go with 3" with x pipe and flow master 10 series. For wheels if you have the right back spacing and a little trimming you can fit a 11" wheel, and the drop is a 5-7

Re: my 80 build
 

If your looking for a good convertor circle d's are great.

Re: my 80 build
 

Ive heard good things about the circle d's the price isn't to bad either compared to the other well known converter companies

Re: my 80 build
 

I bought a circle d not too long ago for my set up. I have a 4.8l with a big cam and alot of extras but havnt got far enough to start her up but I did my research and circle d is just as good or better then the rest.

Re: my 80 build
 

hey big10

If you dont mind what kind of rims are those Jegs says no one make racing type wheels with 5.5 bolt pattern for my 77 swb any info would be great

thanks

Re: my 80 build
 

5x5, 5 on 5 or 5x127mm

Re: my 80 build
 

thanks what about the back spacing

Re: my 80 build
 

i'm running 4.125 front with a 7" wheel and back 8" the wheels are cragar street stars

Re: my 80 build
 

just to be clear backspacing for front and rear is 4.125 right

Re: my 80 build
 

yes but the sad thing is cragar doesn't make these wheels any more but summit racing still sells them is 15x12s and 15x14s though

Re: my 80 build
 

WOW who new rim options would be such a problem
