sbc/th400, ford 8.8, z'd balk half, frame boxed, cab channeled, so far. I really need help on what front axle to use, I cant decide on speedway 6" drop semi eliptical gasser kit or a 4" tube/4 bar transverse leaf kit. I plan to bag the rear so these pictures are at the ride height I want. I am shooting toward the gasser kit to save a little $. What do you guys think? Thanks

fuk it

dropped $1300 on 4" drop axle and parts today($900 on parts $400 shipping). It cost me $12 a foot for 2x4 3/16 tube, and $268 for a 4x8 sheet of 16 gauge!! what is this obsession?

 

[Tim...Ok]

its going to be cool though keep the pics coming

 

[wetwilly]

little more!

Got a good start on the gauges, built this at work today. Also a couple shots of the rear frame work, I tack thing together with the little guy then then take it to my work and use the big miller to burn it in hot.

PICS

Hey the truck looks killer but I can't get some of the pics to show and I noticed that the ones that will show are jpeg or jpg images and the ones that won't show are bmp images

I "LOVE" it

I've been trying to buy one of those from a guy for a few years now,
still no luck.

I think it would look neat with full fenders (sized down of course) because they are open-wheeled anyway.

Great job though, ENJOY..........

(P.S. I can open/enlarge the jpegs but not the others either.)

This is when I brought her home, the guy I got it from just gave up. All it needed was a new starter bendix. FREE to me a new project with good tags and a title! My wife could not understand what i wanted with "that" truck. I could see it

 

[wetwilly]

The first sets of pictures are from my phone, that is i think why they wont open any bigger. The rest will be in jpg

Neat truck. The work you have done is pretty awesome. The tailgate is really cool, almost artistic.
