Yeah,... plans have kinda changed,... but me and hot trux will be there.
Not sure if we'll be in the swap meet or with a car.
I'll look for your Riv.
(Is it for sale yet?)

For sale? No way I love that car. Lol

Of course everything is for sale for the right price though.

The engine compartment looks very nice.

Does your Rivera have the 430 motor in it? That is what I am putting in my pu. They are a good motor if you stay below 5200 RPM. You got a lot of torque so you don't need RPM anyway.

Do the wheels fill the big rear tubs you used?

Painter D · 10-02-2013, 09:05 PM

Not all the way I left room for bigger if I ever wanted to go bigger

Is the extra space in the inside or outside of the wheel tubs? I'm just wondering what size of tubs I'll need and if I'll have to go with less back spacing on the rear wheels.

Thanks,

Ron

Love this build! Just rescued a 58 fleetside short bed BBW from a field and have been looking into the porterbuilt drop members. I never thought I would own such a classic and rare of a combo truck. I've always thought that they are incredible when set up right but my attention has always been on 64 and up. Needless to say, I'm enjoying the detail you give in your posts while I compile my bill of material. Rock on!

72BlckButy · 10-06-2013, 09:06 PM
