Howdy all. First I wanna thank everyone in here for all the info and inspiration. You guys are awsome. Now for the trucks.
My first one is an 80' 4x4. Stock for the most part. Down for a 2.6/5speed swap, and body lift.


Next is my Double D. A 78 2x4 shortie. Has the stock engine w/weber and a 4spd. Just finnished the custom paint (rustoleum) over the holiday. Installed the hood scoop like my 80 has but don't have pics yet.

Got new rims but haven't put tires on yet. Lookin to do either a 180head/200block w/5speed setup or GM V6 and 5sp out of an 02 Camaro or Firebird.
Both have bucket seats.

Welcome to the site. Nice trucks too.

Did you spray bomb or roller the Rustoleum?

Not ashamed to admit, mine a Rustoleum job too.

FIAA!

SFPP!

Both were sprayed with a gun/turbine sprayer from harbor freight($99.99). Just got a couple of can of rustoleum, thinned it and sprayed. here is what my black one started as.

The roof had pinholes all over it.

The white one was the old faided out yellow. Just had to get rid of that.

Here is an update on the Luv. Got a G200 installed with a 5 speed trans. Of course I ended up spinnin a bearing in it so it's down for the count. But gettin it rebuilt this winter (crossing fingers). Did some work on the interior. Still need to do the dash but haven't figured out what direction I wanna take. Anywho here it is.

is it possible to have a bung welded in for the egr? im trying to get the emissions crap put back on because im moving to northern california in January and wanna keep it as Cali friendly as possible

Not quit sure on that one. The e.g.r. on the stock manifold is ported at the collector. On the header the collector is under the cab. Im not sure if it makes a difference where you port the e.g.r. or not.

Thanks rainman. I'm in the early stages of my build and I'm looking for ideas. Those 18's look nice tucked in there!
