Man, that's a lot of plumbing in that thing... Maybe you could make an on road race truck out of it...

.. Someone did some outta' sight fab work on it that's for sure.

Does anyone see a place to connect a garden hose on this thing?
Kidding aside, lots of welding and fabbing done here.

**Dieselwrencher** · 12-23-2009, 09:16 PM

Very cool! What are your plans for it?

drbyrdman · 12-23-2009, 09:22 PM

Finish it,drive it and take it to car shows.

Also seems like he was one patient person. Nice clean - low temp tig work.

drbyrdman · 12-25-2009, 12:41 PM

saving up for a Tig welder right now. Two of my neighbors are Tig welders, one is a Tig instructor. were going to go through the truck and finish it up and I am going to learn how to Tig weld.

3r!c84 · 12-25-2009, 01:09 PM

how heavy do you think that this is?

unclewatts · 12-27-2009, 05:09 AM

I like it but what left that's stock GM on it? The ignition switch?

That thing deserves 500 cubes or more! Would be a shame not to use those cool headers though.
