Re: 66 K15build
Bad pickup man! Nice work.

Was the Dana 70 converted from a DRW to SRW with 14 bolt hubs?

What wheels are those? Are they Interco Birddogs or steelies or what?

Hi Jason yes the Dana was converted and the wheels were made for me by Wheelsmith I wanted the smooth clean look on this truck! TJ I like your idea with the Diesel are you looking to do a 6.6 & Allison?
