[pennsylvaniaboy]

well guys heres the truck i bought it my sr yr and started with a pre built truck that i found for a good deal. it has the 350/sm465/np205. has D60, 14bt and 4.10s

plans for the truck were rust repair, body mods, bumpers, cage, sliders, paint, bedliner, etc

heres wat we started with

 

[pennsylvaniaboy]

so what do you guys think for a starting platform?

 

[obijuan]

its junk, send it to me.



you are way further than some people are after a few years. if i were you i would ditch the flaps and visor then maybe put a different front clip on it, i never was a fan of 79 and 80 grilles. but thats just me. oh and im really jealous too. now wheel the sumbitch!

You already have the Holy Grail=D60/true 1 ton gear. You call it a starting platform, where other guys would say it is already built.

I only see 2 bad things about it:


1. Its on a K30, needs to be on a K5
2. Its not mine

thanks guys here some mods i have already done

heres some mods ive done it came with the front spring hanger which will be great for a 52 swap later, trimmed the bed. got rid of the rust spot problem on chevys by elimanating the drip rail. replaced cab mount and yeh ive lost the visor. and the grill will do for now im not a huge fan either but it works. and will be a weekend driver as i am in college and a wheeler

 

[smalltowncowboy]
