alright guys finally going to start my build
 

first let me give you some info on the truck its a 90 chevy cheyenne 4.3 5 speed.

first my plans for the motor are a rebuild.i love the 4.3's one of my fav motors i ordered my latati voodoo cam and carb intake,distrubetor,fuel regualtor,and elderbrock 650 cfm carb.

im going to do the silverado front end on it and lower it 2/4 inches.

and i want to try something new with the rear of the truck i took my bed off today and i dont want to put another bed back on it or a flatbed.

so i was thinking of trying something new im going to put 14g sheetmetal and bolt it to the frame were the bed use to be mounted i want to make it removeable and make a custom roll pan and i want to put some kind of wheel wells on like a semi.

any body seen this done before its hard to describe it,but i think it would look pretty cool.

anyone have pics please post.

i will also post pics of my truck later on today.
