i got a little more done today, removed all the ac and heater system. so i could replace it with a much cleanier fitting vintage air system. and i started on my rockers, inner rockers and cab corners.

well i finally picked up the 468 bbc, from the shop and i had it completely rebuilt with 8.9 compression so it can run with a turbo or supercharger. a mild cam, still need to figure out what kind of mpfi i will use and headers and what motor mounts. but for now i tore the 350 and th350 out, still need to get the cab off and get the frame blasted so i can have it coated. im hoping to have it done by the end of winter, so i can focus on the 72 powerstoke tahoe covertible project. but we will see.

got a little more done today, built a little stand and took the cab off and managed to get it on here myself. what a pain, wait for your freinds next time. a little cleanup and grinding on the frame and after i find a rear traling arm setup and i preinstall some bags and prefit the air tanks and the propain tanks. its going to get blasted and powdercoated. im getting exited.

rancid · 02-08-2007, 07:04 PM

i got a good start, but then decided to do more than i planned. and money has not been as good as i need. but next step is powdercoat on the frame and suspension parts. i did convert it to trailing arms.
