« on: August 19, 2014, 09:22:03 pm »
So here is the plan I have a 1987 r20
I bought for 400
So far pulled motor, trans, bed and gutted inside
Cab is hopefully going to be pulled tomorrow
Keep in mind I'm only 18 with basic knowledge and this is my first build
So any and all tips help

     Right now I am building my 74 K-10 step side that the frame has been powder coated, Axles have been gone through.  Need to start putting on fuel/brake lines, fuel tanks, mock engine to hang trans/transfer case & get drive lines so I can move on to the cab.
     I have been putting most of my attention lately into my 2010 Dodge Charger with Mod's & Dyno's to see what I can get out of her.

That's awsome I've never been a 4x4 guy but fast I've always loved , my step grandpa has a crap Toyota car from 90 ' s  I'm waiting for motor to blow to make a sleeper out of it , personally I love a good race I wish in mobile they had a place we're people could race and not risk losing license , but I guess that's half the fun , not getting caught I mean

     Yea, I like fast bikes, probably too much.  For now my Charger takes care of my needs.  I have always wanted a old step side 4x4, this is going to be more of a street queen then a mudder.  I have been in 4wd most of my life, I used to build rock crawler jeeps for years, have moved on from that now.
