Although I have posted a few pics of my truck before, it wasn't truely finished like it is now. I finished it up about a month ago but I've been so busy I haven't really had any chance to put up some good pics yet. I will try to get some of the interior too, that was completely redone as well with a custom gauge cluster with a full compliment of auto meter guages. I like the way it turned out, but it still sits too low on those 33's! Next plans include an 8" Superlift with some 38" boggers. Gonna drive it like this for a while though, and put a 400 small block in it this winter. Here's a few shots I took recently.

Actually, it rides like... Uh... Sheot. The suspension and driveline are in serious need of attention. The Muncie tranny is bulletproof, so that is all good but the leaf springs and shocks are toast. More to come, I will be sure to keep y'all posted! Here's a few "before"pics...

I'm trying to see what kinda car is beside your truck in the before pics. Is it a Camaro? Not all that much to go from but that is my guess

Great looking truck! You don't have to answer this if you don't want to, and I'm only asking cuz my interior is in bad need of a resto, but about how much $$$ did you have to put into the interior to get it that nice?

No problem! I don't mind sharing info at all. I'd have to say the biggest costing parts you see in there are the bench seat all reworked, the dash, and the gauge cluster (which of course if you're stock you don't need to worry about). But I'd say a conservative estimate would start at no less than $1500 for the stuff in there minus all the stereo stuff AND the gauges themselves. The gauges alone were close to 400 bucks. And BTW thanks for the props guys! ;D

I decided to use my kick-ass roller motor from the IROC I am parting out now. Why not? I'd be a fool to continue to let this thing draw dust in the garage. It's got a wicked 4 bolt bottom end, big ole rods, AFR heads etc... etc.. My friend has a dyno, so we're gonna do some carb experiments and tune it in before I put it in the truck this winter.

what kind of lifed do you have None! ;D Hard to believe that's all just tire ain't it? But one tire just barely rubs when going in reverse and then I cut the wheels all the way to the left.
