Cant wait to get this from SC
I have been browsing these forums for ideas for a while, I figured I would give some pics. This is my grandad's truck, all original with the I6 292 engine, with 96k original miles. I plan on keeping it mostly original. I want to upgrade to discs all around, and put some C20 suspension on it because i will probably use it to tow a fishing boat, and I dont really like the slammed look. I want to relocate the gas tank. Other than that I just need to make it run. It ran great when it was parked, it just didnt stop as you can see by the left front bumper.
I dont have much space to work on it (will probably have to rent a storage space) and I dont have access to really cool tools. I have all the "normal" tools, but metal work and big stuff will have to be minimized. The hardest part is finding the time to get it from South Carolina to Texas. Enjoy -Ross |
