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.

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"
 
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"
 
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 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!

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.

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.
