Hey welcome to the best board around from MT. Awesome looking truck you have. What all do u have planned for it?

jdwhitlo · 02-23-2007, 05:20 AM

Thanks all!
I plan to turn it into my tow rig eventually..... But for now I'm going to use it as my wheelin’ truck. My plans are to rebuild my 350 and make it a 383 w/propane injection, rebuild and upgrade the t350. I have to do a complete rebuild on the brake system so I'll probably do a 4 wheel disk brake setup. I will eventually need to replace a lot of body parts (no more than usual on these trucks) but I probably won't do much body work on it until I'm ready to turn it into the tow rig. No point in fixing the body if I’m using it for wheelin’. My main goal for now is to make it as reliable and fun as I can.
