A work in progress, need to even out the tires, maybe more of a drop on the front. Then paint and interior. We are gettin there though. 350 .30 over, port and polished heads, oversized valves, 700r with shift kit, posi rear end, and more money and time than the pictures look like

I really like this truck. Thats the type of look I want to achieve. The wheel size and stance is perfect. Please give me some detail on the wheel/tire size, your suspension, and what kind of drive train you have in there. Oh and some more pictures. :)

Thanks

The truck has a 350sbc, 700r4 trans, ten bolt 3:38 rear, HEI ignition, Vintage Air, Mustang II power steering, power disc brakes, elec windows, GPS, GPS speedometer, satellite radio, American Racing wheels 275r15x70 rear ww, 245r15x70 front ww, monte carlo front clip. I bought it out of St Louis in '09. The engine and the front clip was in it when I bought it. It needed to be cleaned up and I tweaked it to what I like. I installed the OD trans, ac, wheels, tires etc.

Re: How about some pics of 47-59

That is completed . running driving enjoying . ecept it is winter here and it is stored

Re: How about some pics of 47-59

great, that is awesome. So what is your re end and gear ratio? what mpg are you getting with your drive train? Lastly how is that 4 link?

Re: How about some pics of 47-59

It is a Camaro rear disc set up with 373 gears . 200R4 . Not sure of mileage yet but with a 4 speed auto and a single barrel carb I am hoping very good . the 4 link works great . No issues .
Thanks .
