This is my first thread so bare with me. Still tryin to figure out site. Ive been a member for awhile so i figured i needed to post some pics.

[no moa]

Looks like a good start, but we need details? engine, tranny, rearend? Whats your plan?

[1low69swb]

Heres some pics of me applying por15. And gettin a few parts powdercoated.

[1low69swb]

Ok, Its a 1969 swb. Bought it from a salvage for $800. Figured it would be a decent first project. Was missing front left steering componets. It came with a 350/t350 motor and tranny. 6 lug suspension. Plans are for a low frame off show truck that handles as good a s it looks.

Got the 4/6 disk brake conversin kit from cpp. and rear baby notch from cpp as well.

[Jarwood]

looking great! How much time did you have in cleaning the frame? Did you use POR15?

[1low69swb]

Ya i used por15. And prob a 2 pay project but i could keep hooked up, so it took me bout two weeks. I used a drill with a wire wheel, carb cleaner and sum 80 grit sandpaper.

Heres a few more pics of the build. Im about 95% done with the suspension at this point. I need to run brake and gas lines and rebuild the rear drums and new drums. And also finish from the cab back with grade8 bolts. Im currently installing front and rear sway bars there mocked up but not finished. ill get pics when i can. I have the drop shocks for front and rear but i need a load on em to install them. The front has the reinforcement brace installed.

OK so im almost to the point where im lookin into wheels. I know im doin a staggered setup 20x8 in the front and 20x10 in the rear. Ive narrowed it down between boss 338 (everyone has em but hey look good) and a wheel i dont know the brand or name. Heres the boss 338.Attachment 843815
Or these. Who knows the brand and name of these??
Hopefully someone can help. All input is welcome good or bad and reviews. Thanks guys.

[no moa]

lookin good.

[orngsikL]

the wheels on the blue truck are intros (www.introwheels.com) i bet that wheel and tire setup on that truck is close to $10,000


nice progress.

and on the 338s, there's alot of work you have to do to make them fit. they don't just bolt on.

[1low69swb]

Wow there way outta my budget then! And i read sum forums on the 338s and there sayin the fitment issues are fixed. Im not sure if its true or not but that rumour is floatin around. But thanks for the help man!!

You need to reinstall the centerlink and your inner tie rods.
They are on backwards.

[1low69swb]

Thanks keith. I was having clearence issues with that, figured i needed the weight on it before i could finish installing it.

[1low69swb]

After lookin at all these build pics i cant help but wanna bag mine. I ve decided yo do it. There is a shop close to me called Burks Chop Shop, in porter ok. I got ahold of him yesterday and he said he can Make it lay out no prob. Ive heard nothin but good things bout him. Has anyone used or know someone who used him? And what is a good price for somethin like that? Please comment and help me out thanks.
