Project Farm Truck
Ok, I have had several requests to do a build up page on my truck. I cant seem to find all the pictures from the build up but for now I will post what I have until I can find them. If anyone has any questions feel free to ask.
Ooops, I had to shrink the pics! They will be up soon Last edited by 1sik52; 11-30-2008 at 08:36 PM. |

Re: Project Farm Truck
On the frame we installed a Heidts Mustang II front suspension with ART upper and lower control arms and bagged it. 4 linked the rear. We POR the entire frame once finished. Installed a stainless steel fuel tank with a steel braided fuel lines and ran all stainlees steel hard lines for the air ride.

Re: Project Farm Truck
Very nice, you apparently have a decent shop to do this work. Great run down with photos. One of these years I'll get back to my 59 Apache, with hopes it'll come out half as good as your ride.

Re: Project Farm Truck
Out of curiosity how long once it was painted did it take you to put it back togther? Mine will be in paint this winter and I am looking for some inspiration.
I hope that you are taking pics of your blazer as well so that you can keep us all posted on the progress of that project. Marc |

Re: Project Farm Truck
What are the specs/sizes of the wheels and tires in the pictures? I know that you have since changed your wheels.
Thanks Marc |

Re: Project Farm Truck
Once painted it took me just a few months to get it back together and wired and driving.
The wheels in the pics were 20x8.5 with 215/35/20 tires |

Re: Project Farm Truck
Since completion I have made a few changes.
I changed the 350 sbc  to a 2003 corvette LS1   We had to go with the brackets from a Camaro SS in order to make the engine fit in such a tight compartment. Firewall finished
