thanks guys

camero thunder, i dont plan to bag this one, yet. i sure would like to have a setup like i had on the 85 as this one though.
are you going to go to the turkey drag? let me know if you see the truck around and maybe snap a few pictures for me

ostncoln · 06-02-2008, 11:23 PM

well here we are, nine months later. got the bed in primer and back on tonight. will post a picture tomorrow in the light

ostncoln · 06-03-2008, 06:34 PM

well here is a shot with the bed on it. i cant decide if i like how its sitting. i may go back and put a 1" block under the rear to get a little rake to it. i was going to try and put some color on it but i havent been able to drive it in so long i am going to slap it together and drive it like this for a while

what do you think?

ostncoln · 10-27-2008, 09:59 PM

6 weeks has to pain turned into an indefinite amount of time so i have decided to move on to something else. a little drivetrain work. got the front end mostly yanked off this afternoon before it got dark

Starting to look a little bare up front, it sure is amazing how time flies.

ostncoln · 05-25-2010, 10:42 AM

Well 15 months and job layoff I squeezed a little work in on the truck. One thing about having it blown apart is when the wife started talking about selling it to pay bills and it wasnt even rolling makes it easy to git that idea out of her head.

ostncoln · 06-07-2010, 12:16 PM

5/30/10. got motor/tranny back in. wish i had all the odds and ends to fire it up

Truck has come along ways.. It looks great

ostncoln · 09-05-2010, 10:31 PM

Did the heater box today, new core and gaskets. i enjoyed how they were just wadded up in the package.

also got one header wrapped

texastrendz · 09-05-2010, 10:48 PM

i think your upper ball joints are on the wrong side, i think they bolt to the top of the arm, not the bottom.

thanks for noticing that. i was able to swap them before getting to far along so it was still easy.

yesterday finished getting the suspension and steering put on along with the sway bar. truck didnt originally come with one, went with the smaller aftermarket brackets for lowered trucks. I love removing factory rivets.

and once again she rolls and steers!
