I guess I've been on here lurking for alittle to long, here is what I've been working on for a little over a month now. I bought the truck for 650 bucks off of craigslist and drove it home like this.
Please forgive the cell picks, I'll be taking good pictures later this week or so.I drove it like that for about 2 weeks when someone stole my gas and I sucked all the crude from the bottom of the tank into the carb, great. I couldnt afford a rebuild kit or a new fuel pump, so I wired up an old r1 fuel pump I had laying around (no pics) and put a new 30 dollar carb out of the junk yard. I also found a pair of eagle alloy rims in 15x8 0 offset (I think), I'm looking for a pair of 15x10 or 12's now for the rear
. A picture of said motor, I plan on a new harness by the end of the year.
While it was on the cutting room floor my friend decides to put the e brake on (never tried to see if it worked) and it got stuck on, a few days later we take the drums apart and fix it, then I get the bright idea to mono leaf the rear end to lower it some in the back. I ended up doing all the work myself, some good friend right, lol.
Bull dog stance.
Then I got up off my ass and decided to cut the springs in the front, I ended up cutting 3 coils and 2/3rds off the stock bump stops and this is how it sat.
I had to grind over an inch of bondo out of the drivers side fender if your wondering about the fender, I'll be getting a new pair of fenders later on down the road so I'm not worried about ruining these ones. This is what the truck looks like right now, hopefully progress wont be to slow for you guys.
Future plans include slim bump stops, lowered shocks front and rear, flipped rear shackles (good for 2 more inches or so), and new tires for the front, as soon as I find the 15x10's or 12's, I'll be playing with tire sizes and moving the 8's up front.
