hey shawn, yeah, that's the exact look i'm going for.

One thing i'm considering now is to run blackwall wheels instead of wide whites. We'll see how things progress though.

yeah, she let me have my fun for a while. Everything is boxed up again and in the storage room now, so it's out of sight. Yeah, it's a double chain set, not a gear drive. It'll be hard enough to keep thing thing soundin' like a sleeper with the planned exhaust. figured i didn't need the gear drive whinnin' too.

I am guessing the engine will set in the frame higher than most trucks of this era with BB's in them due to the bumper punchin goal? I know I wouldn't want my expensive headers draggin the pavement. LOL
absolutely! yeah, we'll see how high up they sit today. everything needs to be higher than the bottom of the frame, but i think it should be fairly reasonable.
