New Guy Here
Hello, My name is Jeremy and I am an addict.... ......Of square body Chevys.LOL

I had a 62 step side that I drove to high school. But always wanted a mid 80's shorty. I bought this truck from Art Morrison Ent. several years ago and it has been a lot of fun since. I just put a new set of wheels and tires on it to update the look and I like it much better. Future plans call for a major rebuild of the truck, I have lots of ideas in my head. But I have to finish a few other streetrod projects first.

Here are a few pictures of my 84 shorty..





And the new Wheels..

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.

Well the under hood is a major reason that I want to do a rebuild. It does not look like anything special. I don't even have any pictures of the engine bay to show. I guess I will have to take some and show anyway.

In the mean time here is a shot showing the custom bed floor.

Re: New Guy Here
We are an impatient bunch arent we .The truck looks great and the wheels really make it . I was appaerntly typing whil you were posting .Are you going to use the engine thats in it and just detail it or do you have other plans?

I like that bed floor mod . That took some doing to get it to look that good with the bend .

Re: New Guy Here
I have lots of plans and ideas. But it all depends on what kind of money I have available when I get to this project. More than likely I will just clean it up and detail the engine that I have.

Thats what I always thought too. I have wanted to put these wheels on the truck for a long time but I knew that I could not afford them. Until I was at a show this last fall and a tire dealer made me an amazing killer deal that I could not pass up.
