the 318 that came with the truck. anyone looking for one?

pstar116 · 01-29-2012, 01:50 AM

got a little done in the past few months. mustang II front end installed and already dismantled for paint. the hardest part was getting the power rack to line up and grind down to match. purchased a flaming river u-joint for the tight squeeze. Also found some tires and rims on ebay close to me picked up for $350. got the majority of my boxing done, havent done the rear not sure on the suspension yet. Also got the x-member from progressive tacked into place, not sure if its going to move back 3 inches or not deciding on firewall.

Truck looks great!! those ebay adds are always overstated but it still looks live a VERY solid body! with the work your putting in you are going to have a very nice machine! keep it up and keep the pics coming!!

looking great so far. You got a good jump start. Can't wait to see the progress. Looks like a nice area to work in and even a fork lift, lucky you.
