Re: 86 crew cab "Full Frame" build
This is just one build. If I had the cash & could source NOS steel, I'd do it too regardless of whether it's a resto or custom build.

Re: 86 crew cab "Full Frame" build
x2!! The quality of NOS parts is just so much better. My friend bought $1000 worth of reproduction parts for his truck and nothing fit correctly. Even the holes on his airdam were off anywhere from 1/2"-1" all the way across. When your doing a high dollar build like this, it would be best to make sure the fit and finish is absolutely perfect.

Re: 86 crew cab "Full Frame" build
X3 why would anyone want to spend any kind of good money on a build and not want their parts to line up as best as they could?

Re: 86 crew cab "Full Frame" build
Sorry for the delay guys, I just got the pictures from Nate of the front wheel set up. Here is what a 16" rotor looks like inside a 26" wheel.

Re: 86 crew cab "Full Frame" build
I have had non OEM style parts on these trucks, and a few are ok. But for the most part, they don't fit for crap. No one wants to spend 1000 bucks more than they have to on a show truck just to make the aftermarket panels fit correctly. With a build as beautiful as this, I would not put anything but the best on it! As far as caging/ chopping some of the old 60's cars, some of them need to be. My buddy's 66 nova is ripping the rear pillar with a basically stock 350. He needs to Subframe connect it with his new motor or that car is going to rip apart. If it wasn't for the guys customizing/ chopping some of these vehicles, the stock survivors wouldn't be worth a thing. I definitely understand where you are coming from, but lets be real, squarebody trucks are not rare by any means.
