Hoosier Newbie
 I have attached some pictures of a project that my Dad and I have been working on over the past month or so. I have been visiting the forum and this place is AWESOME! A never ending source of guidance. We recently completed the 6 to 5 lug conversion with front discs and rear drums, along with the complete 12 bolt from a '71. We also replaced the booster, master cylinder and prop valve. We also added the wheel and tire combo, 20's with 275/45's. "  ""  ""  "

Re: Hoosier Newbie
The truck was nice when we bought it. The engine had been gone through and the interior is fairly stock. The body is in good shape with minor rust in the bed and a few bubbles in the lower door panels. The only thing we did to the engine was replace the Edelbrock with Demon carb. The engine is suppose to produce 400+ hp, but it is hard to tell with a TH400 and currently no kickdown (has been ordered).

Re: Hoosier Newbie
nice rig. That is pretty much what I'm wanting to do with mine - dropped on 20's. However, I want to update it with an EFI'd 292 mated to a 3 on the tree, and every creature comfort that you can think of...hopefully.
