Finally my build thread is here! Lots of pics!

[chillware]

Alright guys,

I've finally gotten off my lazy butt long enough to take some pics of my build project. I started the tear down about 1 year ago, and progress has been slow due to money but I'm moving along! The truck was bought for $300 by my dad about 15+ years ago from some guy who had it sitting in a field, it had an i6 that was seized, but we spent the summer and got it running and he gave it to me that year when I got my license. yaay! A few years later I bought a stock 327 from a guy for $300, he told me it was out of a '64 vette. Eventually got rid of the 3 on the tree for a TH350 rebuilt w/ a B&M stage 2 shift kit. And rebuilt the 327 with 11.5 compression, Comp Cams Magnum 280 cam kit, bored .030 and heads rebuilt.

The truck sat in a few garages for the last 8-9 years, with little driving, pretty neglected.. I sold it to a Friend for $2500, and about 2 months later, i couldn't handle it being gone so he let me buy it back

Last Feb i began tearing it apart for a full rebuild.. Since then i've been slowly gather and installing parts. and let me say, Ebay has some bad ass deals on parts!!

So here is what has been done thus far..
- Frame and rear axle housing sand blasted and powder coated 60% gloss black
- Installed new Auburn posi diff and 4.11 gears, new axles in rear
- Early Classic 6" drop spring in back and shock relocators
- Early Classic trailing arms
- Early Classic extreme drop crossmember
- CPP modulor 2" drop spindles
- CPP 13" drilled/slotted brake kit up front
- Performance Online tubular upper/lower control arms
- Early classic 2" drop springs in front
- CPP power steering bracket
- Rebuilt power steering gearbox
- Motor painted motor with ceramic black and clear coated
- Just installed new Edelbrock RPM Air Gap intake I got for xmas

Probably a few other odds and ends on there as well..
