It was nice weather today so I thought I would work on the truck. These are pics without the crossover steering, rear disc, and ladder bars that I have to build. 8inch springs and 36 inch swampers.

*1tonswb* · 02-15-2004, 08:48 PM

one more.

71Rat · 02-15-2004, 08:56 PM

nice truck good luck on it

*1tonswb* · 02-15-2004, 09:21 PM

Thanks!

ChevyDude · 02-15-2004, 09:57 PM

Too much lift in honest opinion.

bagged91 · 02-15-2004, 10:09 PM

I think it looks sweet! Maybe a little bigger tire(38-40?).

*1tonswb* · 02-15-2004, 10:11 PM

In my opinion 4wd truck were meant to be lifted.....and 2wd trucks were meant to be lowered.

*1tonswb* · 02-15-2004, 10:13 PM

The tire on it is for mockup purpose. It will probally end up with 37-38 inch tires.

lukecp · 02-15-2004, 10:34 PM

That truck is bad!

Can't wait to see some pics with 3 more wheels/tires on it!

**Canadian694x4** · 02-15-2004, 10:40 PM

Nice...only thing I'd change is that there mirror...JMO tho...Sweet Ride, what kinda paint plans have you got for it?

sixty8c10 · 02-15-2004, 10:44 PM

nice truck

Blue Beard · 02-15-2004, 10:54 PM

Gotta ask .......since i'm a smart a$$

Don't you find it a little hard to drive with one wheel..........?

67cst · 02-15-2004, 11:05 PM

thats a real nice lookin ride, i think 4x4s lifted, looks like you figured out what the best looking front end is first try

keep the pics coming

jcueckert13 · 02-15-2004, 11:08 PM

awsome truck. looks like your ready for some 1 wheelin

lol!!

*1tonswb* · 02-16-2004, 12:45 AM

Thanks, Guys! Yeah.......the mirror is gonna go. As far as paint.......I havent decided yet. Maybe a bright orange or a nice silver. Ill probally be driving to the paint shop and whatever color pops into my head is what it will get. As far as the 60 frontend......got one in all my trucks. I learned long ago that a 44 and a big block dosent hold up to a heavy right foot. lol. I got a rust free cab and doors that I gotta put on. Also thinking about swapping the front sheetmetal for the 71-72 style. 454 is going in next along with a auto tranny. Ahhhh.........there never done!

krazy_texan · 02-16-2004, 12:52 AM

i would say if you have a small window keep the 67 front end it just looks more proper especially to people who actually know what they are looking at.

*1tonswb* · 02-16-2004, 01:00 AM

My other cab has a big back window. But......Im startin to like the looks of the 67-68 frontend so I just might keep it.

MrGoodpliers · 02-16-2004, 10:43 AM

What's the creeper for? You can just walk under that truck!

**Yukon Jack** · 02-16-2004, 12:00 PM

Great truck. I would definitely keep the front end as is. Those front ends are so unique.

What are the details on your lift?

*Randy70C-10* · 02-16-2004, 12:27 PM

That's sweet! I like trucks with some lift, looks tough.

GreenMystChevy · 02-16-2004, 12:33 PM

Very nicely done. It will be a true Oregon truck when you're done!
I myself have an 8" Skyjacker lift and 2" body lift on mine and I'm running 38" swamper radials, tallest radial SS made when I bought. I wanted a radial tire because it will be a daily driver, along with a weekend mudder, but figured the radials would be a tiny bit safer with all this rain.

Can't wait till you have it done: big block, Dana 60 front, crossover steering, rear discs, bright orange paint... OH MAN! Awesome ride.

*1tonswb* · 02-16-2004, 03:13 PM

The lift is 8 inch superlift all spring. Shocks are rancho 9000,s. Ill try to keep you guys updated on the pics. Im gonna put some 37 inch swampers on it today so Ill post some more pics later.

BowTieMan · 02-16-2004, 04:56 PM

That truck is sweet. Please keep us posted.

GMC71k20 · 02-16-2004, 05:02 PM

**jamie72** · 02-16-2004, 05:21 PM
