Re: Project: Shiro
I really like the looks of this truck! Very much reminds me of a truck I put together and sold. Currently belongs to a friend of mine (and board member). Another truck I should have held on to!!

Re: Project: Shiro

Re: Project: Shiro
I have been doing some poking around the internet looking at what can be done with a I6. Engineered Components Inc makes a cool A/C and alternator bracket setup, which I think is very probable if we install a Vintage Air set up. I have also been looking at transmission options. While my intent is to drive the truck a while to see how I and my son like the 4 speed, I figure I should checkout the options that are out there. I am curious about a 200-4r install behind an I6 in an effort to be able drive farther/faster. We'll see what materializes after we have had a chance to check it out!

Re: Project: Shiro
The truck arrived on Thursday very late, and we have been looking it over and making a to-do list. Here are a few pics...

Re: Project: Shiro
I need the grommet to fill this hole, but couldn't find it on gmcpaul's site. Anyone have a clue where to find it?
