abebummy26 · 12-09-2007, 01:16 PM

79 but I have reason to be partial my dad had one that he bought brand new and special ordered. The guy he sold it to still has it so I see it every once and a while.

bigtruck81 · 12-09-2007, 03:31 PM

i'd go 73-78 myself, but i am a little biased with a stock 77, and an 80 with a stock 77 clip on it. both seem to have 80 grilles though.

Hoods69BadBowTie · 12-09-2007, 11:22 PM

Nice looking truck. Sounds like it should be sweet when it gets done. Keep up the good work!

69face · 02-07-2008, 12:56 PM

final engine product came in the form of a 4 bolt main 400 ci block stroked to a 434 ci with a budget stroker kit. the crank and rods are scat. the pistons are speed pro and the block was precisely machined by yours truely( align bored, decked, bored, honed, and chamfered) here are the pics of the bottom end just about buttoned up. also a pic of the girlfriends ratstang daily driver(on dubs of course).

69face · 02-08-2008, 03:22 AM

whatever it is, it's quite awesome!

72BlckButy · 02-08-2008, 04:31 AM

that tranny needs some of that shiny silver too. looks kind of drab next to it. just my $.02

C-10volvo · 04-20-2008, 07:47 AM

83-84 for sure

Keep up the progress!

I think that truck in grey with some of those same style mustang wheels with a dish would look nice, dubs or course.

andresco50 · 04-20-2008, 08:07 AM

likr it congrats

babyJay · 04-20-2008, 04:22 PM

my 79 has had both front ends. It had 73-78 when I got it, and I put the 79-80 back on and think it looks better, IMO. Nice project!

i would have painted the trans too, but i figure it's a driver and it gets the best of the road grime. so time painting that went into engine accessories.

Lusso22 · 04-21-2008, 05:38 PM

It's coming along nicely

I can't wait to start on mine!
