well if you guy's remember i bought this stepside at the end of may, i have been doing small odd and ends to it and just recently got started on the swap over from the other 76 i have here are some pics when i got it and what little i have done to it.

both trucks before swap


day i brought it home


how it sits today




i swapped out everything wednesday and man i was beat, texas heat and swapping two full supensions man that's a combo. motor is coming out next week to be redone and lower the comp ratio a bit to make it ready for the street driving and a 175 shot of the good stuff....hotrod look out there maybe two luvs in the evil street class.....
the primer truck may be put up for sell as soon as i finish all the swapping of parts so if anybody is looking for a roller ,stripped out, race truck to build this one might be available soon. i will update the thread as i'm working on the project.

uhmmm , wow What a transformation . Somebody better have a Video camera for this one .

Looking good.

OK here's the latest update..
radiator and motor mounts came in last week.
did a mock upon the radiator.... tacked in the motor mounts....installed fuel cell/fuelpump/ran fuel line to the front...motor should be out of the shop next week i had three spun main bearings, it looks like the caps were moving around alittle.















oh and i almost forgot......



hopefully it will be all together and running in a couple of weeks.

Looking better and better all the time... You having the block lined bored?
