These are the before and after pics.
8 lug wheels and other parts are hard to find over here.
Hope you guys like what we get up to over here in Blighty!!

cheers man. very nice truck.

hello, im new to this.. This is my 85 scottsdale i got it for 400$ with a blown 305. the guy that had it was tired of spending money on it. After he got the paint job and interior re-done. I bought a used 350 and some lowering spindles and hangers, shakles 3/4 drop. Much of the work was DIY and I still got plenty to go

trout · 12-19-2011, 05:34 PM

Beautiful truck, I like the stock look with the lowered susp.

it certainly has a nice rake and mine would look good with the same combo.

Truck looks good. $400.00 was a steal even with the bad engine. You can not buy a good set of tires hardly for that.

that's a steal, real nice, i like the color

Here is mine right after I bought it a couple years ago:

The exterior looks the same, but it has a new-in-work custom dash (see build thread) and a 500hp 383 under the hood.

Get you a handheld propane or mapp gas torch. Just go easy and you might not have to change the bushings....
