New Member, Truck & Hobby

so this is my first classic car errr truck to work on. This truck had quite a bit of "upgrades' the previous owners did. I have had it for several months now and have dove right into this thing. Money & time is the only problem at this point! So far truck has 350/350TH pwr brakes, front disc, power steering, 5-lug conv. With no further ado....

Hows your clearance with those wheels on the back? Those 15x8?

Re: New Member, Truck & Hobby

Thanks for all the welcomes! Truck has needed some work as previous owner took some shortcuts here and there. I already installed a HEI ign. and new edelbrock 600cfm carb and that seamed to really wake up the ol motor. I took the a/c stuff out for now as it wasn't all hooked up. Right now I am having a bench seat redone as the 94 chryler buckets just don't cut it!

Jas, the wheels fit fine, (15x8 I think) let me know if you need any other pics or meas.

Very cool Stepper. Sounds like the hard stuff is already done. I dig the on Monkey Wards A/C! I think my Dad had one of those units in one of his trucks back in the day. Welcome from Santa Fe, NM...

Na, thanks though. I have ones like that on mine but when I put the bed together it will rub on the inside. I have smoothies now. Just wandered how they fit on a step side.
