After almost 4 years I finally drug the old truck out and got it on the road again. This time it has a 454 and a th400. It still has a long way to go but at least it is driveable again. I almost forgot how much I enjoyed this truck.

I don’t know why but I can’t get the pictures to turn the right direction

Here we go... looks like fun...

Danny Bost · 03-27-2019, 10:53 PM

Thank you

**3757chevy** · 03-27-2019, 10:58 PM

No problem. I resized and zoomed in on your distant view.

Ya, it is literally just back on the road. I do need a gas cap lol. I just dropped the back and I have the front springs ordered. Other than that I will probably just drive it for the summer. Next winter I plan to paint it, or at least get started.

Thanks

Thanks. I will have it at the car show April 26, 27, and 28 at McGee park. You should come. Or better yet, put your truck in it

I will probably go on Saturday but my truck isn’t going to be there quite yet. If my truck is running for the show on West Main Street in July I will probably have it there. If not my Camaro will be there for sure. I’ll look for you at the McGee show.

Danny Bost · 04-05-2019, 10:55 PM

I got my front springs in today. I like the way it sits and drives now.

**3757chevy** · 04-06-2019, 12:33 AM

Nice , looks better.

**FleetsidePaul** · 04-06-2019, 09:20 AM

Oh yeah. That looks way better with the drop.

**special-K** · 04-07-2019, 07:36 AM

Gas cap looks good

MaximusD · 04-08-2019, 09:47 PM

Looks great, what drop did you use?

I researched wrangler springs years ago . I ended up using 4" drop springs instead. How does it ride ?

My son gave me the springs when he raised his Jeep. It rides great, too soft if you are going to haul with it though.

68Gold/white · 04-10-2019, 10:47 AM

Makes me feel good that you got it going. Wish mine were going...

**dagnabbitt** · 04-10-2019, 11:50 AM

Other than put a bumper on the front of it I don't know what I would change. Looks pretty good.

I think that might have been what made me change my mind . I haul with mine sometimes.
