pipty6 · 02-18-2011, 05:57 PM

looks great, more info on what you did to it. Suspension, motor stuff like that . Again, looks good

Kabwe · 02-18-2011, 06:05 PM

It certainly has the cool factor. Nice job

I agree with the above statement it would be cool if you tell us more about it.

OrrieG · 02-18-2011, 08:15 PM

Looks good, more detail on the build please, pics too!

Mike Bradbury · 02-18-2011, 08:29 PM

In the other thread you said that you spent $600 for it and then had the owner bag it and get it running. Was that still part of the $600? How long ago was 14? Just trying to get an idea of how long it sat in the field

No I bought the truck bone stock for 600. It had been sitting In a field since 91. My husband bagged it and I didn't want the straight six so my husband and I did the motor swap.
