Got the motor and tranny dropped in and tuned. It came out looking better than I thought it would. I also went ahead and took the old heater box and out and made some temporary panels at work to cover the holes.

Wow, you've done a lot to it since I've seen you last. I bet that 700R4 is awesome. Wish I could have made it to Victoria.

It was probably the best show I've been to this year besides the Villains show. I need to get with you about the air ride components. I started doing a lot of research already about what to get and what stance I'm going for but I want to go take a look at your truck to get a feel for it. I'm pretty sure I'm gonna go with a PB stage1 kit up front but I'm not sure about the rear. I want it to sit as low as it can but still run my inner fenders up front. I found these threads to go off but I need a little more info.

Your truck looks and sits good Mike. It reminds me of my 69 step when i bought it. I wish I had left the old green paint instead rushing to get in primer.

Thank you ... yeah I want to enjoy the patina look for a while before I start digging into the body work.

You have my number, and I don't live too far from your dad. I do think it's worth pointing out that I didn't use the stock lower control arms. I have the Porterbuilt 1" forward series lowers with factory uppers. Made the bag mounting very simple. With the research we both did, I'm sure you can come up with a good plan to use the factory lowers if you want.

Cool truck . I like your build.

cooperhw · 10-08-2015, 11:30 AM

Nice looking truck. Smart decision to let the truck start making some smiles and memories before it's ripped apart for more drastic work.

Nice work. That air cleaner looks great on that beautiful engine too.

Mikem_72 · 01-21-2016, 02:17 PM

Its been a while but no real updates other than I added some new caps and lowered the rear 2" with blocks. I'm happier with the stance but I still want to bag it. Oh and I also bought another project ..... the blue turd next to it.
