what trans is it? a long tail th-400? if so that looks really sophisticated for just putting the 400 in i have a th-400 reverse manual valve body with trans brake but its a short tail i just made a tubular x-member bolted it in and took a piece of 3/4 inch plate bolted it to the trans mount and slid the x-member up under it tached it in pulled it back out and welded it up it worked great.

Well heres an update for ya'll

I found out my air-bags are on backorder till thurs. or fri.

Anywho, I'm getting all the stuff for the front end rebuild this week

Ima buy the 6-lug rotors from CPP, so I can convert my truck back to 6-lug
Cuz I bought these 20" wheels today

Does anybody know what brand they are are what the name of em is, cuz I looked on the back & couldn't find a name

bones · 07-17-2007, 09:53 PM

look like american racing RT-S in black

Spray-Bomb · 07-17-2007, 10:11 PM

They look very similar, but I don't think they are exactly the same
Mine have polished Bolt simulators & the spokes curve more, but I could be wrong.... It's just so hard to tell in pics

I'll try to get some better pics of my wheels tomorrow

Spray-Bomb · 07-17-2007, 10:14 PM

Ok, just found a better pic of the ones you found

I dunno what the deal is with mine having the polished bolts, but I think the reason my spokes are more curved could be a off-set difference

Spray-Bomb · 07-19-2007, 11:01 PM

Added some more color to my truck today

tavenner13 · 07-21-2007, 11:34 AM

dude, you should change your project name to project "american graffiti"

BACKYARD88 · 07-21-2007, 11:47 AM

1. Where are you getting your bags from? I ordered a couple more from suicidedoors and haven't gotten them yet, maybe the backorder is why.
2. Red bumper looks better than no bumper at all

3. You're supposed to take the Christmas lights down after Christmas

The last time I called Suicide Doors, they told me they were on backorder till Fri. or Mon

I'm not much of a bumper fan, but it looks kinda cool

Don't even get me started

Spray-Bomb · 07-21-2007, 07:21 PM

Well here's an update

Started on my hood again today & got it ready for primer & paint tomorrow

Also the other day, added a little art to my drivers door

Hmm, wonder where I got that bumper from

There are usually a "RatRod" a couple of old trucks & some old cars
Kinda small, but usually pretty cool

You could come into town & ride with me to the show
