It's an 86... With fbss. Was originally going to do a dully but bed is rough so I'm going to make a ccsb..air ride was done professional unlike a lot I have found. belongs to my cousin but he is going through a divorce and passed the project on! Only thing I hate that will soon to be gone is the 292. :/

should be a fun project

cochino12 · 07-05-2011, 11:46 PM

Very cool! Be different and keep it a long bed!

I'd keep it a longbed and prolly keep the 292....but I am odd

Good luck with the new project whichever way you go with it

texasfunk · 07-05-2011, 11:54 PM

Lol..I have been thinking a lot about keeping it long bed. And the 292. Lol...but I may swap the 292 into my 82 stepper..and the 502 into this beast. And thanks for the comments! Putting the fuel cell in Saturday and takin it to the shop!

heeroyue2002 · 07-05-2011, 11:59 PM

that looks great

broey · 07-05-2011, 11:59 PM

inspiration, its a long bed too.

texasfunk · 07-06-2011, 12:05 AM

That's actually the plan..for now. Going to do a quick satin black with red airstrip flames...til I decided what I actually want to do. I would like it stock with big billets..but then again...crazy paint shaved everything. So hard to decide. Lol..def kicking myself in the ass for selling the 79 body...perfect donor for clip and bed.

broey · 07-06-2011, 12:06 AM

Lol. Oh yea..they are long. When he first mention it I was like ehh...idk..but when I walked up on it. Fell in love. I was needing a bigger "family" vehicle for he cruises and stuff...so this is perfect...

bluex · 07-06-2011, 02:22 AM

Looks like a good starting point. I would definatly keep the 292 but would go ahead with the short bed and then put a turbo on it....

Agree with keeping the straight 6 - man those things are too cool! Wouldn't venture into the turbo arena though on it, especially if it'll be carbed - that engine will have plenty of torque for you to cruise nicely if you just do a little extra work while building it up! Truck looks like it's a good starting point too!!!

Nice, can't wait to see what you do to it.

I am def going to run moonies or similar. going to run 22's all the way around...still haven't decided on bed...I'm liking it more and more... And texasdmax, if I do you'll be the first to know!

lilpoindexter · 07-06-2011, 09:13 AM
