Project Farm Truck
Ok, I have had several requests to do a build up page on my truck. I cant seem to find all the pictures from the build up but for now I will post what I have until I can find them. If anyone has any questions feel free to ask.
Ooops, I had to shrink the pics! They will be up soon Last edited by 1sik52; 11-30-2008 at 08:36 PM. |

Re: Project Farm Truck
We decide to shave a bunch of unecessary items like door handles, mirrors, fuel filler, etc...

Re: Project Farm Truck
Out of curiosity how long once it was painted did it take you to put it back togther? Mine will be in paint this winter and I am looking for some inspiration.
I hope that you are taking pics of your blazer as well so that you can keep us all posted on the progress of that project. Marc |

Re: Project Farm Truck
What are the specs/sizes of the wheels and tires in the pictures? I know that you have since changed your wheels.
Thanks Marc |

Re: Project Farm Truck
Once painted it took me just a few months to get it back together and wired and driving.
The wheels in the pics were 20x8.5 with 215/35/20 tires |

Re: Project Farm Truck
Since completion I have made a few changes.
I changed the 350 sbc  to a 2003 corvette LS1   We had to go with the brackets from a Camaro SS in order to make the engine fit in such a tight compartment. Firewall finished

Re: Project Farm Truck
killer truck! I like how you've put together alot of before & after pictures. Makes for good viewing. Did you drive it with the SBC before replacing with the LS? I did not, so I was wandering how much dif. you noticed between power plants.

Re: Project Farm Truck
One last question. What did you use to fasten the rod door panels? I have heard they suggest velcro but it does not hold the panels that well.
Thanks Marc |

Re: Project Farm Truck
Thanks! I probably changed my mind about a dozen times on what color i was going to paint it during the build before I finally picked the green.

Re: Project Farm Truck
1sik, I can't tell but did you weld up around the steering column...the horse shoe area in the dash? I am going to be installing the column in a few weeks and have been pondering the column drop and how to make that area look clean.
