Subscribed!!! Cant wait to see more updates as you progress. I love those ol trucks......

 

Sub'ed for when progress happens!

 

In for build!

 

Havent had a chance to really get working on it with graduation and the job hunt, but had the wheels off adjusting the brakes the other day and decided to see how the other wheels I have sitting around would look... Sorry the quality sucks, my phone camera has much to be desired.

 

Quick bump to revive this thread from the depths. Progress has been made! Not much, but movement forward is still movement.

 

Rolled the truck out to turn it around and start on the front end. The rear drop is quite noticeable. Now to even up the front...
Pulled the front suspension. Replacing everything with updated parts. 73-87 a arms, 2.5in. drop spindles, 4in drop springs, and a disc brake conversion.







Waiting on springs to arrive for complete assembly. Then it will be time to drop in the engine and start getting wiring figured out.

 

nice work so far, this will be a cool truck.

 

Thanks man! Im really excited to get this thing running. Dropped off the t56 for a mid shift conversion the other day, so big steps coming soon!

 

Unfortunately, due to the changes in photobucket policies, I am no longer able to upload and post pictures of the progress on this build here. That being said, here is a link to my Facebook album of the build, which is much more up to date. Feel free to leave any feedback or comments. https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=10155309641077763&id=50413776 2

 

This is looking pretty solid! I like it!

What wheel and tire combo are you going to use here?
