Re: The Disco Chicken
Well the Disco Chicken didn't make it to LST, but I made it, the transmission took a dump about 45 minutes after I left the house, had a great time talked to a few members from the forum, and a big thanks to Karl aka aggie91 for the tilt colum thanks again, and I hope to have a few pictures when the engine swap begins

Re: The Disco Chicken
Nice truck!
FWIW, I can only post one pic per thread too, and some come out sideways also. Figured it was because I'm using my iPad. Want to see more of the truck, especially once you start the motor swap.

Re: The Disco Chicken
Looking forward to you documenting the cummins swap. Seems most of the swaps on here are in 4wd trucks. Very little in the 2wd world on this forum...

Re: The Disco Chicken
Sorry to hear about the setback. I've seen the swap on 4x4's and stock height trucks, but never on a lowered one. This should be very interesting.
