84 Stepside Chevy

Hi guys hows it going.  I thought I would post some pics of my truck, I started working on it in the summer of 07 and got it where it is at by spring 08.  I tore it down to the bare frame and built it back up.  It has a 6/7 drop and 20" Billet Specialties on it.  It also has a GM Preformance 350 HO with a TCI 350 turbo.  I am currently welding up the holes that arent needed and I will be putting in some LED taillights after christmas.  Future plans include finish bodywork and paint it finish the interior and mabye a new set of 20" and 22" Coys.

Here is what I started with


Here it is going to my father in laws shop this is one of my favorite pics


Here are some of the framewhile I was painting it

Here are a couple more of the motor and the aluminum radiator and electric fans




We smoothed out the inside of the driver and passenger fenders there are no holes in them.  I dont think you can see them that good in this pic but here they are

Not really much going on in the interior it has been gutted all I have are some guages, sound deading stuff on the floor, and a bench seat out of a 93 that is too narrow I am going to try and get me another seat.




And here it is at home

Awesome work man!  I love those wheels/tires with that stance, don't change it a bit!   I like those guages too, I'm not real big on the white faced guages.

Nice work, what size wheel/offset and tire combo?

Nice work, what size wheel/offset and tire combo?

20x8 all the way around BS is 5" front tires 245/40/20 rear tires 275/45/20.  The back is not really wide enough that is why I want to get some more wheels.

Looks Great !!!!

Looks great but all your pics are so dark it's hard to make a lot of things out. Try changing your camera's settings and update more pics. Did you make your fan or buy it?

[69byrd]

I bought the fans and shroud from summit.  It is dark in that shop it just doesnt have enough light in there.  If the sun ever comes back out I will get it out side and take some more pictures.

Heres a few pics of me enjoying the truck.  The first is at a show with a friend the rest are on the way back. Sorry if a couple of them are blurry.

I'd raise the tail lights, put fatter meats on the back and add some mirrors. lookin good though!

[69byrd]

The taillights are gone I am going to put 10" LEDs in the stake pocket post beside the tailgate. Hopeing to do that in the next couple of weeks I will post pics. I defiantly want some fatter meats on the back thats the reason I want some new wheels.  As far as the mirrors I havent made my mind up I dont know if I want to put them on. Vile how wide are the rear wheels on Broadzillas truck I think that is about what I need. By the way her truck looks great!
