Re: Project: Shiro

I really like the looks of this truck! Very much reminds me of a truck I put together and sold. Currently belongs to a friend of mine (and board member). Another truck I should have held on to!!

Giving credit where credit is due. He did a lot of work, a lot of tough elbow grease type work and he deserves the recognition.

Re: Project: Shiro

I have been doing some poking around the internet looking at what can be done with a I6. Engineered Components Inc makes a cool A/C and alternator bracket setup, which I think is very probable if we install a Vintage Air set up. I have also been looking at transmission options. While my intent is to drive the truck a while to see how I and my son like the 4 speed, I figure I should checkout the options that are out there. I am curious about a 200-4r install behind an I6 in an effort to be able drive farther/faster. We'll see what materializes after we have had a chance to check it out!

Thanks guys! It was a rough week, but mostly because I am an impatient person. I haven't driven it much because it had no seat belts, but they arrived today so we should start putting some miles on it soon.
