the plans on the rear are to trim the rest of the bed and then kevin will fab up new suports to hold the bed, add limit straps,and some more suport to the hoops, kevins has been thinking we should make it a big window( plastic back window) and run the roll cage though the back and will link to the front though the cowel

slammed1966chevy · 06-27-2008, 08:06 AM

Awsome !

Dinos63 · 07-05-2008, 08:46 PM

was up at kevins saturday, and have some up dates, brakes plumbed booster in , all the suspension is welded,front and rear bumpers done,air intake done, before it comes home cab mounts replaced, battery box and the bed braces done,

Frizzle Fry · 07-05-2008, 10:01 PM

I like all the dimpling. That think is looking bada$$

justcuz · 07-05-2008, 11:14 PM

Your gonna need a V8. A six with those tires even with a 4.11 rear end is gonna be straining. Nice ideas on the suspension though. It will be totally unique for sure.

I have a bigger bullet for this truck,but i just wanted to try something different the 292 in the truck is a new crate motor(doesn't look like it) and runs good , the suspension will also except the 350 i have so just a weekend change out

jonzcustomshop · 07-06-2008, 03:05 PM

Those little sixes moved around some BIG trucks back in the day, of course there were alot more gears involved,and they didn't do it very fast.

Dinos63 · 07-06-2008, 04:48 PM

thanks jon, i think the six will be fun,

justcuz · 07-06-2008, 07:08 PM

I could be wrong who knows! Try it out, it is looking pretty good so I will follow with interest. I miss my old Chevys, fun to see the projects here on the board.
