The story

My cousin wanted a truck, and my moms friend had this for sale. My cousin then did not work much on the truck and ran out of time during the summer. That was 3 years ago. I got into a wreck and totaled my Geo Storm. I needed something to drive and now I have this. until I fix and sell the truck. I don't want to sell it but I need money. I will hopefully get a job by then and pay my cousin and Grandfather.

In Progress:
700r4 Transmission
Body work
Interior (radio, cheap speakers, shifter, fix all the aftermarket switches, steering wheel, manual shifter removal.

My plans for the truck:
Front disk brakes
Power steering
Power brakes
Mild to rough cam grind
Smaller bore intake
3" dual exhaust
Wooden bed re-installed
lowered 2-5 inches
Ratchet Shifter
Bored out engine
ported/new head
Chrome Front bumper
Chrome s10 back bmper

Pics soon

what about pix of the truck? I would get her running and stoping, then make a decision about selling or keeping.

wow seems like alot of money to spend on the truck... while all on the same hand needing to sell to get money.... but what better to do then build

I want to keep the truck. But after I finish the body and I paint it I will put it up for sale. If it does not sell I will keep it and start my plans.

Also pics Monday I will have to take pictures at the shop where it is at. Its 60 miles away too.

Does anyone have a good shifter? Also I have a few questions, Should I build a console or get a truck shifter? Is the 700r4 transmission linkage compatible to the speedometer?

I got the transmission in. Now I just need to make a cross-member, cut the drive-shaft to fit, get detent cable, and get and install a shifter.

No need to make a trans crossmember unless you really want to. Just get one from a '63-'87 truck with an auto trans.

I got a cross member from someone, I dont know what year it was but it did not fit. I will just make a tube cross member.

now i'm getting the driveshaft cut at someplace in raligh.

60% of rust fixed. 700r4 will be in soon.
