1983 K10, Shannons truck. ***UPDATE POST #418***

I like the looks of her truck...should be fun to see what you come up with to make it ride better. :popcorn:

Much rust or bondo in that truck?

Why a 465 for a truck that will see sand?



And no I don`t want a big debate about how standards are way better than auto`s :doah::haha:
All my previous rigs have been standards...but I did like the th400 in my 77 before I swapped it out. Just don`t think I would like a 465 in sand!

It seems to be pretty solid, needs some work on the cab corners and one spot on the pass bed side. Other than that it seems to be good.


And trust me, I will try my best to keep it auto :haha:


But if she wants stick, I guess that means she wont ever need go fast suspension, so less work for me :whistle:
 
If I could get a shackle flip I would totally do the ford 57s in the rear with a small block. Those would kill in a pickup with no weight in the back and are wicked cheap.

:whistle:

-Yes, 57's with a flip if you don't need to haul or tow anything heavy.
-get some better springs up front with some quality shocks
-ditch the body lift (maybe run the 1" pucks)
-leave it auto

Sounds good! :thumb:
 
It would be whatever trans is in parts truck.


So it was an assumption by me that it is 465.
 
Find a sm465 to let her drive if parts truck doesn't run. She'll know right away if she wants that trans in her truck.

She has a danger ranger daily with a 5 speed right? She will want the 3500.
 
Good idea.




So every vehicle at my house was broken into last night, except for Shannon's....

They stole all my gym stuff and protein powders, but didn't take tires.... Lols

They probably didn't take the tires because they wouldn't fit in their Honda Civic. :dunno:
 
They hadn't taken the protein mix yet, they couldn't lift the tires.
