From drag back to street, my '84

This is my '84 Chevy I've been working on for almost a year now. It was a drag truck when I got it and am currently converting it back to a street truck with a few mods here and there. Plans are to put a new motor and tranny in it, do a few body mods to give it a cleaner look, leave it lowered for now until I can bag it, and basically have a clean looking ride when I'm done. I'm having to replace a lot of stuff the previous owner had removed from the truck. I got lucky and shortly after I got this truck I was able to buy a complete parts truck from a friend of mine for just $250 so replacing most the parts won't be too expensive. Anyways, just thought I'd share my project with ya. I'll post more pics as I get more work done.

400 SB with massive cam and a lot of performace parts. Also lowered with drag slicks. Had some bodywork done but was very poorly done.


Motor and tranny pulled. Replacing with a completely rebuilt 350 and TH350 tranny.


Fast forward a bit. Stock fuel lines back in place. Gas tank reinstalled. Rear diff replaced with a stock 10 bolt with 3.73's. Also replaced doors with one's that still had the locks and door handles.




And here's a pic of my tailgate I started on a few weeks ago.


These are some 15x8 ralley's I traded for the drag slicks off the truck. I think I did pretty good on that trade.


And this is from today. Got the firewall bare so I can get all the old paint stripped and get it in new paint before I put in the motor and tranny. Also pulled out all the aftermarket wiring the previous owner had installed. I'm suprised this truck didn't burn to the ground, lol.
