Project "Chopper hauler"
 

Just bought this the other day, Have a 350 4 bolt and probably going to go with a built 200r4. It had a 383 w/th350. This site was one reason I bought this old 65. I think I'll be using this site alot as I go.

Welcome Morris, From West Tn. nice looking rig you got. The stance looks nice..

Re: Project "Chopper hauler"
 

I absolutely love the truck- it's like a preview of what I want to do with mine (moon discs and scallops)

Welcome- this site is a great resource- if these guys can't help you do it- it can't be done- there is a LOT of knowledge and talent here.

Re: Project "Chopper hauler"
 

Ya this site has tons of great advice! I want to go with a 200r4, if anyone has done this it would be great to here about it.

Re: Project "Chopper hauler"
 

:welcoem: from AZ. Cool looking truck and good luck with your plans. Post up pics as you go.

Re: Project "Chopper hauler"
 

welcome from Boise! You got that truck from Wayne did ya? I hope you got a good price. Now fix the hacked crap and get 'er runnin!!!

Re: Project "Chopper hauler"
 

the 200 is the same size as a turbo 350, and mounts the same. you have to get a kit to lock up the electric converter.
I have heard that if you get them beefed up a little they will handle lots of HP and that the ratios are better than a 700r4

nice truck to start with.

Re: Project "Chopper hauler"
 

Nice truck and welcome from Santa Fe, New Mexico...

Re: Project "Chopper hauler"

Re: Project "Chopper hauler"
 

Got any pics from under it. Just wondering why it so low.:smoke:

Re: Project "Chopper hauler"
 

The guy cut the springs, I think its like 5'' in back and 4'' in front. Im going to put air bags on it some time down the road. I need to get some hood mounts if anybody has any. I'll post some more pics soon of the inside and under.

Re: Project "Chopper hauler"
 

I was digging the first wheel.:lol:Did you put the skull and bones in the dash?

Re: Project "Chopper hauler"
 

I built, wrecked, rebuild a chopper and have been working on getting this beast up to par befor winter. Put a 327 with a th350. I got all the electrical worked out and dash gauges all working. Still need to do some more work on the interior and then it will be a disc brake swap and also redo the suspension while I’m at it. Hopefully ill be better at posting!

Re: Project "Chopper hauler"
 

Ya the wheel was like that when I bought it. I did put skull and bones in the dash, I painted the internals so I thought why not.

Re: Project "Chopper hauler"
 

Great looking sled, too! Mine is for hauling bikes, as well.

Re: Project "Chopper hauler"
 

Are those purchased whites or did someone cut them out? They look really wide..:metal:

Re: Project "Chopper hauler"
 

They are painted on, they were like that when I bought it. I'm not sure what paint he used but the are about 5 years old and look pretty good. I'm going to buy some real ww this summer.

Re: Project "Chopper hauler"
 

Great looking ride. Just curious....why didnt you stay with the 383 setup?

Re: Project "Chopper hauler"
 

It had no motor or trans when I bought it, the guy before me had a 383 in it at one time.
