It looks even better in person. It needs some work but it should be fun. I hope to keep this for my son which will be 8 months old Aug. 13

reiners81, I love the look of your truck. The truck is solid. I need both cab corners and a driver side fender. The cab floop and rockers are in good shape. A little work on the bed and it should be good to go

very cool. sounds like a great project. What are your plans for the truck? Are you going to lower it or raise it? And what do you plan on running for drivetrain.

The rear has a flip kit on it so I need to bring the front down to match. I may take the flip kit off and go 2" in front and 4" in rear. I plan on 15x7 front and 15x10 rear wheels. It has a 350 with a th350 in it now and the plans are to build a 400-500 horse 350 smallblock. I want to make a toy that I can cruise in and drive to shows. It will see some track time but the main thing I want is a fun cruiser. I have a 700r4 tranny that should make it a lot more driveable. I'm not sure what gear it has in it now but it is pretty low so the overdrive tranny would be nice.

I would keep the flip kit. I have it on my truck and it works great. I have the same size wheels on my truck as well. As for the front I 've got 3 inch drop spindles to level it out. If you use the 700r4 I would build the internals near bulletproof. Especially if you're a lead foot like I am. lol. Im building a blower motor that will put out about 600 horse without the nitrous. Yea you read right. blown and sprayed. lol. But yea if you run into any snags just ask and I'll help as much as I can.
