My 1st post!
Hey Guys!
Cool site!!!! I just found this site while looking for some ideas for my truck. It’s a 71 ½ ton long box. 4x4 of course! I have big plans for it! I would like to put a fuel injected motor in it. Not sure what im going to do for a motor yet but I know it will be fuel injected. I also want to relocate the gas tank. Planning on 33’’ tires, maybe 35” It probably won’t see much off road. I just want a cool looking truck that I can drive once in a while. I plan on doing most of the work myself. Except for the paint, I think I will take it to a pro for that. It has the usual rust spots. Cab corners, rockers and some of the bed floor is bad. Its blue now I’m thinking I want it white? I would like to hear some of your suggestions motor, how much lift I should put in it and how to go about relocating the gas tank. I am going to search the forum I’m sure I will find lots of good ideas here. Anyway I just wanted say HI! |

Re: My 1st post!
from Vienna, Austria. Do you have some pics of your truck? If you can get some nice side shots of your truck, some of the photoshop guys can give you some visual ideas.
