Welcome to heaven. Just be warned, this site is rather addictive and when it is down, which is seldom, you will find yourself banging your head against the wall, walking around mumbling, basically you will be in a stupor until it's back up. Trust me, it's not pretty.

Enough of that, what are your plans with your truck?

minibike · 09-07-2002, 09:38 AM

Looks like a good project with a lot of hard work already done.

Welcome from Louisiana.

**Palf70Step** · 09-07-2002, 09:59 AM

Welcome from the land of the very wet...well at least today. Not been hooked up long but as the others have said...it's addictive. Looking forward to seeing your project grow too.

caa332 · 09-07-2002, 10:04 AM

plans for the truck are a 2.5 inch drop in the front and 4 in the rear converted over to disc brakes so i dont have to stand on the brakes any more during those unexpected sudden stops... ive removed the original molding and welded and smoothed shut all the holes.. taking it down to bare metal inside and out and squirting on some fresh ppg bright red paint.. warm the motor slightly more than i already have with new headers, carb and intake since the motor has been rebuilt and has roughly 15000 miles on it since . ( reworked heads and bigger cam). fiberglass tonneau cover, new rear chrome bumper with hidden hitch and of course some sort of fancy wheel and tire assortment that im not yet decided on....
