Not really a build thread but a checklist. The trucks going back on the road in a week or two. I'm starting to lean towards keeping the pig ****er bitch whore and just having fun and actually wheeling...
If any of you recall my thread a few months ago I bought an 86 Olds 442. So I've been doing floors in that and its pretty much tieing up my garage. My initial plan is to make the cold season my wheeling season and make the warm season my rodding season. Which means that the car will get wrenched in the winter and the truck in the summer.
I do have a minor checklist for getting the bitch back on the road though.
Square tube front shaft
Finish my front bumper
Re-install my winch I took off because I thought I was gonna sell the truck
And do square tube rockers, finally.
I dont know what the master plan is for it. It might go back under the knife come spring time. I was considering trying to find a crew cab for it or even looking into hacking the back of the cab off and making an ext cab like the pipeline trucks.
I'm definitely going to redo the bed. I've got to get the tank mounted high, way more clearance for the tires instead of a flat deck straight across, gonna ditch the cheapo aluminum boxes that the hinges froze on. Its definitely finally gonna become an 8 lug. And I was tossing around the idea of doing radius arms in the front which would mean I'd be switching to a dana 60...
