Yes very. After i put my headers on and drove the truck a while then turned it off, it wouldnt start back up until the starter cooled down.. Starts right up everytime now and I've had it almost 2 months.

Personally I think it looks sweet just how it sits.

Re: My first project truck - 84 Chevy swb
 

I'd like to go a little lower, like a 5/7.

Re: My first project truck - 84 Chevy swb
 

Careful man it's addictive. :lol:

Re: My first project truck - 84 Chevy swb
 

Man not even a test like 2-4 just straight to 5-7 :lol: :metal:

Re: My first project truck - 84 Chevy swb
 

nice paint

Re: My first project truck - 84 Chevy swb
 

Yeah i know! i shouldnt have done the 2-4! i think its more like 3-4 and the front bottoms out sooo easy...


Thank ya sir

Re: My first project truck - 84 Chevy swb
 

You guys did a GREAT job! Very nice ride.

Re: My first project truck - 84 Chevy swb
 

thanks man! I'm so happy with how it's turning out.
Just makes me mad that how much work went into the paint job and then get a door ding like I recently have... It's no show truck, but still.

The first one is the worst. Not that they are fun at any stage, but at least it will keep ya humble.

Re: My first project truck - 84 Chevy swb
 

Got a small update finally. Just now got around to putting in a 600 watt 4ch amp under the seat and out of the way, and some kicker 6 inch speakers in the kick panels. Thanks to Captkaos for the kick panel pods!

Re: My first project truck - 84 Chevy swb
 

Looks good man!!:hot:

Wish I could have a drive in mine.....
weather's still way too bad and it still needs to be inspected and registered :whine:

Re: My first project truck - 84 Chevy swb
 

Looks good! :metal:

Re: My first project truck - 84 Chevy swb
 

Nice work! Your stereo components look great!

Re: My first project truck - 84 Chevy swb
 

I dont know how I missed this, but Im here now.

Re: My first project truck - 84 Chevy swb
 

What size are your tires ? and why do you want to change the rims I think they are killer.

Re: My first project truck - 84 Chevy swb
 

My tires are 235/70 in the front, and 275/60 in the back i believe.
The wheels are pretty rough and scratched up, looking to get some 17 or 18 inch wheels.

Re: My first project truck - 84 Chevy swb
 

Your truck is outstanding. The paint scheme of your truck is what inspired me to buy a square body and start my project. I had been looking for some time for a 67-72 model with no luck. I stumbled accross the truck I now own but could not visualize how to get the feel that I wanted for the project. After I saw my truck on the side of the road, I started looking at pictures of squares. Several were interesting, but yours was the one that made me pull the trigger.

Mine is a long wheel base and will feature different colors. Love the Impala wheels on yours, but I couldn't find those within my project budget. The project is evolving as it goes but most things are tied down.

Thanks for sharing the pictures and for the excellent work on your truck.

Re: My first project truck - 84 Chevy swb
 

Thanks man! I really like the way my paint scheme came out, just needs a few touch ups now... I sure am glad that I could inspire some one else with my truck. Oh and the wheels are actually eagle alloy series 28 I think, not impala wheels, but close to it. Goodluck on your project man!

I've been seeing the beast parked at your work. My daughter is playing softball down the street. Looks good parked out there for all the people to see.

Re: My first project truck - 84 Chevy swb
 

Thank ya, i sure wish it ran like a beast! :lol:

Re: My first project truck - 84 Chevy swb
 

Let me tune it up, it'd run like a really fugly overweight beast. :lol:

Re: My first project truck - 84 Chevy swb
 

Sooooo, thought i would let everyone know, that I'm more than likely getting rid of the 84.. :waah:
Need to find something more reliable and gas friendly for a daily driver.

Re: My first project truck - 84 Chevy swb
 

Re: My first project truck - 84 Chevy swb
 

I know... But i cant keep filling up every 3 or 4 days... And its not like ill never have a square body again, i just cant have 2 trucks right now.

Re: My first project truck - 84 Chevy swb
 

:-(

Re: My first project truck - 84 Chevy swb
 

too bad, i hear the gas mileage cries..

Re: My first project truck - 84 Chevy swb
 

Sorry you are selling it, but I understand. You could try my solution. I ride my motorcycle most of the time, so I get good average gas mileage. Of course, the truck gets better mileage than the bike right now, since the truck is in paint prison. :lol:

Re: My first project truck - 84 Chevy swb
 

Gas will drop once you sell it, never fails :lol:

Re: My first project truck - 84 Chevy swb
 

You'll regret it if you sell it. Trust me. For me it was a 1950 chevy truck.

Re: My first project truck - 84 Chevy swb
 

Man, just pick up an old beater that gets good mileage. There are some deals on Craigslist. I know it's expensive to drive these older trucks but, you will regret it if you do.

Re: My first project truck - 84 Chevy swb
 

I picked up a '94 camry, its not the best looking but who cares when it gets 25 mpg plus :lol:

Re: My first project truck - 84 Chevy swb
 

Ill still have a chevy or gmc truck though, ill be getting a newer silverado or sierra, lookin at 99-04ish. Trying to find a single cab short bed, but theyre kinda hard to come by with a v8 in it..
