''Project '64 SYT Super Yenko Truck"

[jgh64pkup]

thanks frizzle and joe
i have no idea what the section came from but the PO welded it on
it stuck out the side of the frame about an inch when i started but now its flush with the frame
and for the core support mount it is permanently mounted (welded on)

[jgh64pkup]

after i got to looking at where i welded in that mount i got to thinking
'' man it would look a whole lot better if i cleaned and repainted everything"
so the project began

[jgh64pkup]

i also got a line lock
i paid 43.50 for it
it was 40 plus 3.50 shipping i didnt think that was too bad of a deal
cleaned it up polished it and put it on
i will post some more pics of it after i get my brake lines done

[joe231]

that will make for some nice burnouts

I had to weld up the frame on my '80 this past weekend, got the steering box off and lo and behold it has the same shape as the piece of frame you welded into your frame...mystery solved

[jgh64pkup]

yeah burnouts
the guy we bought it from said everything on the frontend was from an 80
and the rear was a 72

Might be a good place to add some flares to those holes if you have a way to do that......flared up of course.

[jgh64pkup]

[joe231]

[jgh64pkup]

Progress looks great Gage. Nice build you have going there. I agree with the others it's nice to see younger guys coming up that want to mess with older vehicles instead of the rice burners. Keep it up, and I look forward to seeing your updates.

[jgh64pkup]

as ive heard alot of people say
" you can have a 9 second honda that will outrun the american muscle in the other lane but once you beat him you'll still be gay''

[JohnC]

Like the old saying goes. There's no replacement for displacement! I don't care how fast the imports are, they don't have that V8 rumble! AR R R R R!! Sorry it was my inner Tim "The Toolman" coming out!

[MacAttack]

Nice work, Gage. This is a build I'm sure we'll all be watching.
