So far have rockers and cab corners in, had to get another driver side fender. truck has 35s on it had to put smaller tires to get in shop. will get pics of rockers and corners soon. truck should be ready for paint soon, still have to finish bed. waitin on panels to come in. Bought a complete running and driving 82 1/2ton 4x4 scottsdale the other day for 100 bucks. was gonna use bed then went to look at it and it wasnt any better, but price was good. has new tires and runs good. tranny slips though, so that will be my next project. let me know what you all think.

Keep going. We can never have too many square bodys in the Show-Me-State. :)

Oh, BTW, is there a way that you could scale down the pics a little?

I have to ask, (the one with his hand flat against the window) is he communicating with the truck ? If only, the stories we could get told.

Post by: 86silverado on February 11, 2012, 11:38:21 PM: Lol no I was taking him to school and we were scrapin ice off window. That truck would have slot of stories. It has had alot of owners and was mistreated it's probably sayin thank God lol. 383 is coming out soon though puttin together a 454. Motor in it now has less than 1000 miles but it was built for race and has alot put in it. Solid lifter cam not sure of specs cam range is 2800 7500. Icon pistons. Roller rockers with screw in studs and 882heads 202.160 Manley valves 1182 crank procomp rods. Weiend7546 intake speed demon carb. But it's just too much for daily driver. And valves always need adjusted which gets old wouldnt be bad in a racecar motor has alot of power im just lookin for lowend usuable powerGot it for sale
