that's not luck...he made your ***. He had that **** planned. Maybe his money, but HIS son is doing it! WOOT WOOT for pops!

I can't wait to see this project unfold. Cool deal.

 

Thats going to be a nice ride when you get finished. HP output is going to triple from where it was with the old motor.

Thats really cool that your dad hung on to that truck all these years. I wish I had a few of the old trucks that went through my family in the past.

 

Haven't got to far lately, got all the old suspension off the front and started mocking up the 4 link, and then my buddy got fired, so I had to go down to CO and get his 95, Procharged, Firebird basket case out of the shop where he worked and bring it to my house and now I'm in OR for Xmass till the first of the year . When I get home, I will get some updated pics for you guys .

 

Awesome work. Looks great. Your dad will be very happy when it's done.

 

Ok, so I'm finally been able to get some work on this and here is where I'm at. Got the front 4-link all fitted and tacked into place as well as the drivers side bucket for the bag. It looks a little tight in the pics, but there is a good 3/4 inch all the way around it and moving the suspension though the travel, it shouldn't ever come close to rubbing. Also got the panhard bar in place, but going to have to move it a little, forgot to leave enough from for the lower shock mount on the drivers side. Looks pretty good so far. Here is some pics

 

Very cool project, power, good riding, classic truck, original owner.... Big thumbs up.

 

Have you put the tires on it to see if there is a clearance issue? cause it looks like its going to be close on the back side.

 

coming along nicel!

 

Ya, there's plenty of room with the wheels turned all the way, like 2+ inches

 

Are you going to send me your address or what??
