"The Ayatollah of Rock and Rolla" 1987 Chevy 2WD SWB
Lots of things on the go last week but some progress made....
- got the cab off the frame & the motor and tranny out
- started to take out the fuel and brake lines tonight
- I sent off my door panels to Stitch to get covers made up for them and the dash
- bought a better bumper and a better tailgate on the weekend
- I have a line on some box sides that I might be able to get
Does anyone know how to take the steering box off the pitman arm without disassembling everything??
The biggest news is this:
I priced out what it would cost to redo my '79 350 into a 383..... $6900
I just about crapped my pants....that blows my whole budget on my build. I cannot afford a $7000 motor, not including tranny or wiring...
So I went on the forum and did a weeks worth of reading and then spent hours on the internet and ebay searching for a used motor and I found one....it should be in town later this week and I will take photos then.........
