Re: Project: Shiro
Yep, something to do while we wait on the good stuff from Nate and the Porterbuilt gang to show up. Did receive a few parts... coil-overs from RideTech and the steering rack and column hookup kit from Unisteer.

Re: Project: Shiro
Buck - not assuming you don't know,.. just making a statement. On the outside what rust you can see is all you can describe when you are in a 'seller' situation. As a buyer,.. when you get it home and tear into it beyond where the previous owner did,.. you will always find more rust than is visible. Its easy to blame the seller just remember it was likely an honest sale as he could only represent what he could see.
That's an awesome truck man.. don't let it discourage you and your son. Just keep digging.. you'll get it worked out.

Re: Project: Shiro
And I appreciate the encouragement! I know you have eclipsed some rough times recently and, although very different circumstances, you can relate to my being discouraged so I take your encouragement to heart. I just wanted to rationalize some of the things I have posted previously. Thanks bro!

Re: Project: Shiro
Just got caught back up. Rust sucks!!! But you have what seems like a great plan for your sons truck, and some rust repair will just make him more vested in the trucks future. Suck it up, cut it up and fix her up. It's already a cool truck, but when you get done...It's gonna be an awesome truck! He's a lucky kid, for sure!

Re: Project: Shiro
Met up with Hart_Rod and some very old friends at the cruise night in P'cola tonight, had a good time. Took one pic and it turned out poorly...
![]() Ooops, almost forgot that I received another shipping notice from Dave at Porterbuilt, my sway bar should arrive in a week or so! Looks like the last shipment, the big one, should be here around the 3rd week in March. ![]()

Re: Project: Shiro
Buck I saw this pic of Holley's shop truck with the ls that looks like a big block and I thought about a post where you had previously stated you wanted your ls to look classic. Man this is it! lol I would love to make my ls look this cool.
