Neat build, I'm gonna' enjoy watching you put it together.
My vote: Don't paint it.

Re: Streetrod Farm Truck build..."the Diesel"
 

your vote and my vote makes two votes for keeping the original paint...;)

Re: Streetrod Farm Truck build..."the Diesel"
 

I wouldnt paint it either. A little surface rust adds character! It will look like a whole different truck with the 20s on there. Looking forward to Saturday.

Re: Streetrod Farm Truck build..."the Diesel"
 

you and me both...I can not wait...:D

Re: Streetrod Farm Truck build..."the Diesel"
 

Oh I see interesting. Still a clr paint job would be cool :lol: Looks like a solid truck. Still jealous:metal: I will trade you my grandmothers cc dually, my golf cart and my bicycle for it! :lol: btw none of them run including my bike

Re: Streetrod Farm Truck build..."the Diesel"
 

LMAO...the diesel isn't going anywhere...thanks for the offer though...I wouldn't be a half bad trade if the bike ran...;)

Re: Streetrod Farm Truck build..."the Diesel"
 

Yay finally a 6.2 build thread!(besides GMTGMT) Cant wait for it to start coming apart then back together. :) Good luck Fat Hoe!

Re: Streetrod Farm Truck build..."the Diesel"
 

Thanks Bradley. I can't wait to get started on it. Gotta get some more parts and get the blazer finished which will take a day to do. And then it's f'ing on. :D

plans are to have it together and mostly if not all done by the fall Goofs. I'm gonna debute it there if I can get it done

Re: Streetrod Farm Truck build..."the Diesel"
 

Yes!

Re: Streetrod Farm Truck build..."the Diesel"
 

Just needs a new pedal and back rim. Got hit by a car. The crew cab is a 6.2 just needs a water pump and 2 batteries. I have a plan to acquire it and leave it mostly stock but thinking of cuttin the bed down to a shorty dually. :metal:

Lookin forward to watching your project

Re: Streetrod Farm Truck build..."the Diesel"
 

Bradley, you still have your 6.2 truck? Hows it coming along?

Re: Streetrod Farm Truck build..."the Diesel"
 

nice job Chuck!! the coys are going to look sweet on there! congrats on the deal too!:D

Re: Streetrod Farm Truck build..."the Diesel"
 

I think he sold the white truck unless he got another one. He was talking about building a land speed truck but I don't know what ever came of that.


Thanks Dennis. I cannot wait for Saturday. They are going to look really good on there I think. And the deal works out great. Josh gets what he wants and I get what I want. To tell you the truth, it's nice not having to figure out what to do with two truck that need to be built. I can concentrate on just the diesel now.

Re: Streetrod Farm Truck build..."the Diesel"
 

Nope, I sold it. $820 for a non-running truck. I crapped up the fuel system. Then didnt have the money to fix it, I would've done it myself but I was still in school so I didnt have the time between school and homework. As Fat Hoe said, I am now going to build a Land Speed rear mount twin turbo 6.2 truck. Cant wait.

Re: Streetrod Farm Truck build..."the Diesel"
 

I can't wait either. I'll defintely be following that

Re: Streetrod Farm Truck build..."the Diesel"
 

Me too. But I'll be following with an empty wallet. $3800 for the tranny and $3000 for wheels and tires... then the rest of the build...

Re: Streetrod Farm Truck build..."the Diesel"
 

Do you know which Turbo that is?

Re: Streetrod Farm Truck build..."the Diesel"
 

Its probably a GM-5 or GM-8.

Re: Streetrod Farm Truck build..."the Diesel"
 

I'll have to check on the turbo. It came off a 93 6.5td

Re: Streetrod Farm Truck build..."the Diesel"
 

Now I am getting jealous that I do not have a diesel square in my stable!

Re: Streetrod Farm Truck build..."the Diesel"
 

Got a call from my wife Laura and I go some packages today. She said I got a package from blackbird which must be the rear disc brake brackets and 2 boxes from djm showed up from ups. So I guess that's the drop spindles and flip kit. I'll be sure to take pictures when I get to the house. I gotta work late tonight until 7 so don't expect them before then lol

Re: Streetrod Farm Truck build..."the Diesel"
 

Go ahead and get one Charlie. You already have two projects what's one more. That's how I ended up with 5 dogs lol.

Re: Streetrod Farm Truck build..."the Diesel"
 

Pics up soon. Eating dinner right now.

Re: Streetrod Farm Truck build..."the Diesel"
 

ok here's some pics....first ones are of the truck hood that I washed last night with the clr...I didn't do the whole hood as you can see and I'm also not done with where I've started...You can definitely see where I washed it and where I didn't...I gotta go over the whole hood with it at least one more time...
