project lownslw64

Hi everyone,
I am like everybody else, been looking at the board for a while know but haven't posted my build. So, here it is. I have a 1964 swb fleet big back window that I took down to the frame and had it sandblasted. I por-15 the frame, x-members, rearend, trailing arms and anything else I could (that stuff is badass!). I Installed a porterbuilt front x-member with art arms, bags , rack and pinion,disc brakes and 5x5 bolt pattern in the front and bags on the trailing arms, 3:73 posi, disc brakes and 5x5 axles in the rear. I put the gas tank in the rear of the frame to get it out of the cab. Right know I have a ls1/4l60e combo with 38k miles out of a 02 camaro ss that I am cleaning up to install with sanderson headers and a griffin alum radiator with dual elec. fans.
IF PICS DONT UPLOAD THEY WILL BE UP SOON.

Future plans include S.S. hard air lines, vintage air, ididit column,

Subscribing!
Sound like a cool project.

The ability to attach pictures is temporarily down.

Re: project lownslw64

I like to use 'Tinypic.com' instead of the site system...you can load 10 pics per thread quickly that way.

Welcome aboard, btw from San Jose !

Sounds like your gonna have a bad-a$$ truck when your done !!!

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.

I don't know which I'm more jealous of the truck or the clean workspace around the truck.

Re: project lownslw64

Where'd that truck come from?
From the grease-pencil writing on the windshield, it was a police impound at one time.
I did police towing many years ago, so I recognize it. (not the truck, the writing.)

Re: project lownslw64

I bought the truck originally in scotts valley, ca. but, I ended up buying another cab off of a truck in san carlos that the guy bought it from a impound yard and he was parting it out.

Re: project lownslw64

I just realized we are almost neighbors (as long as you are in the NorCal Brentwood). I'm in Antioch near Wallyworld (aka: Walmart). If you need an extra pair of hands I might be able to help. I'd love to check out your project.

Keep up the good work.
