Lookin good!! Hope to see you guys out cruising this summer!

 

Thanks again Guys. As you know we started out with just a cab from Craigs list. If we didn't have guys like you "Hammers" it would never moved forward so fast. we gave each other so many "High Fives" and "Hugs" that I was so sore I had a hard time getting out of bed this morning LOl !!!!.I told that young man several times you have to be careful how you handle a 67 year old old man !!!

 

pretty cool project way to build em , engine sounds healthy and the louvers on the tailgate turned out nice good job

 

Thanks captainjunk and everyone elso like my grandfather said we could not have done it without you guys and there is no telling what it would look like if we didnt have you all. Im not going to even start to talk about the things we were thinking of when we first started. We will keep the updated comming as soon as possible and thanks again guys.

 

Btt

 

That is one neat project, I really envy both of you for being able to work together on this because I know I enjoyed the time I had working with my sons but unfortunately my grandsons are only 18 months old and I'm 68 so I don't think I'll have the opportunity you did. I look forward to seeing more updates!

 

Wide, Thanks so much.I have four daughter and they all liked college and not Hot rods !!! That young Grandson makes me feel younger every day.He does not drink,smoke or curse !!!! So the only thing in common we have is Hot rods !!!!! LOL He goes to college,works a fulltime job amd has his own lawn service so you can't aske for more than that.

 

Captainjunk, That motor does sound healthy. It has a high lift"Erson"cam
and Z 28 valve springs. The truck also has a TH350 transmission with a 2300 torque converter and a 1999 S-10 4x4 343 rearend with "Guv Lock".
Our engine man said get 600 miles and then "Fry the tires" !!!!! LOL

 

Forgot to add that we added 4 wheel Disc brakes to the truck.As I told the
Grandson " It's not how fast you can go,It's how fast and quick you can stop" !!!! LOL
