Well I wanted to wait to start this up until I got back from my forever long deployment. But I had my father pick this up for me a few months before I return. Its a 1966 C-20, 283 V8, 3 on the tree, its been converted to power brakes with disc up front, and is using 1/2 ton suspension/rear axle. Its going to be a slow build so just keep any eye out if you want to follow. So far the plans for now is to fix the body work, tweak the suspension and lower it a little bit more, 5 spd swap, paint, wheels, new wood bed, and drive until I build a LSx w/t56 for it as well as obtain needing items for laying it on bags. Its a little rough right now and I'm hoping to find a good hood for it being as the idiot put a set of hood pins threw this one. The wheel combo going on it is a set of 20x8.5's and 20x10's which are the Showwheels Streeter, there just waiting on tires...



Well that's enough of the gibber jabber...

I’m still debating tire sizes, rear is getting either 295 or 315’s

This is very relative to my interests.

With the nutty gas prices, you might appreciate the smaller tire width.

Looking forward to progress updates!

love these trucks. fucking in!

Slooby

Thanks

Not really worried about gas prices with this, this is more of a toy than a daily. It will be driven more for weekend cruising, car events and what not. I'd rather not risk some idiot slamming in to it during day to day traffic.

Thanks. The updates will be slow but steady for the fact of work and side jobs to fund the project. I'm suppose to get in touch with someone tomorrow who has some parts I need for it.

ferio

Slooby

Thanks

Thanks, I've had a few of these body style trucks, definitely miss my old ones.

No pictures/updates yet, slowly gathering parts and trying to finish up a truck I bought to fix/sell to help fund this project.

Latest update, still isnt much to look at but I enjoyed driving it around this weekend.

Had a great time talking with you for the short period of time I was granted.
