Great project to tag along with.
My high school ride was a 78 stepside with the 250 inline 6- 3 on the tree that had been moved to the floor- which had a nack for locking up when I was on dates- I think she was jealous . The bed was so light it would get stuck in wet grass.
Cant wait to see how it turns out.

I have done all that. Not hard to do.

Gotta tell you though I am a little nervous to let the kid drive it. Maybe that's why my dad didn't give it to me until I was in my 30s.

I will read it.
Just went through the entire thread. That is an extensive build there. Sweet rig.
If you had to do it all over again would you just by a lift or do 52" swap?Last edited by Sparkles; 01-07-2013, 09:29 AM.
