Good to see you still making progress.

[contagious102]

Starting to look like a truck again.!!! All new felts and weather striping in the doors.Got them hung and adjusted,finished the front fenders,New convo pros and new tires in a couple of weeks.Ran the motor for all most an hour, straight headers no muffler's yet.The ol 540 was rattling the neighbor hood.!!!LOL

[niterider65]

Its looking good keep up the good work . hope to have my motor in trans together by the end of next week can't wait to rattle the windows next door hope your going to put some weight in the bed your going to burn
them tires off with that 540 BB

[contagious102]

New rims and tires on the truck,convo pros all the way around and some FAT 29 x 15 x 15 MT drag radials for the back.!! Also putting the hurst pistol grip shifter in ,should be able to back it out of the shop under power in a couple of weeks.!!! Just need to get the drive shaft cut.!!

[likaroc13]

Gotta love those fat rear meats!

[racecougar]

Looks great! What backspacing or offset did you end up going with on the rear wheels?

[contagious102]

I cut the stock 12 bolt 4 inches on both sides,and went with 6-1/2 back space on a 12" wide rim.Could have used a 6 back space or a little lees cut on the rear.To get the perfect fit I had to use a 1/4" spacer to clear the frame enough to feel good.LOL.!! I put the bed on it tonite and a fender,the 15." drag radial has 3/4" clearance to the out side of the fender.!!

[mud.man.rj]

Sure will make a huge difference once the bed is on.

Thank you very much for the info! We're currently trying to decide what wheels we want to run, so we can see what backspacing is available, so we know how much to narrow the axle.

[contagious102]

Bed and fender in place ,just a test fit.Everything fit perfect the first try.!!!!!!That almost never happens. LOL. !!!

[contagious102]

Almost there,all the glass back in the truck,bed back on.Still have too install the wood and strips,and paint the side steps and hood.Went for a ride on Monday, "O MY GAWD".!!! It will lay rubber at 55 mph.!!!

[aggie91]

Awsome!

[tazattitude]

Super sharp. You'll have to take a video of it in idle and taking off.

[likaroc13]

Good to see you still plugging away at it, & it's looking nice. We're definitely gonna need some video!
