Daily driver
Hey, By new year I will be driving this every day. Not doing body work do to new front clip,cab,and bed. I am going to chop the cab and other shaving nessesitys off the frame and then bolt them on. But for now i going to just tear around in it and have a blast doing it. the front suspension started with spindals, springs which i cut, then i decided to move the cross member up 2", then i had a mess, I then had to move the steering up, narrow upper and lower a arms 1 1/2" per side so i can turn, then i had to build new motor mounts,trans crossmember, trailing arm crossmember, had to tunnel the cab floor, the rear started with springs and 4" drop blocks, then I z'd frame 4 1/2" and put small c notch in rail for some travel. I made new engine bay sheet metal, and constructed new dash out of a 57 ford and filled with autometer gauges. Engine is 425 hp LT1 with vortec heads with nice and loud 3" stainless exhaust.
