Well, 500hp NA is only a turbo kit away from 1000hp...

Re: Buck's '63 SWB Fleet Side Build

Buck,

Truck is looking good. I am looking at a RS Spec chassis for one of my projects. I have a contact with a RS dealer in Tyler, so it would only be a very short drive for me to pick up. Boris is a great source, but for future reference, we are only about 650 miles away from PCB, FL. I think you are north of that aren't you?

Man you guys were busy! It's looking good Ernie. I know with me it is really hard to get into cutting body that is as nice as Millie, but it needs it. They way you and the crew are working, I expect you guys will have it all worked and running by New Years eve. ;)

Oh for sure! :lol:

Connor and I got the bed wood removed enough to set the bed on to start looking at bed floor options.

Spinning carriage bolt be damned we got it done!

I like it! Look how far that axle is up in the wheel opening... she's going to be LOW!

Haven't worked on it much, have a lot going on... One kid just started Medical School the other is about to finish at Lincoln Tech... Power Tour in a week. If all goes well I will pick up the engine after Power Tour and order the Magnum TKX soon after. :cool:
