My collection of parts is coming together! So far I have:

SM465 (It's being delivered on Saturday)
GM 10-bolt (8.5") axles with 3.73 gears.
Just need the transfer case and the engine block and I can start fabricating mounts!

Oh, I guess before I do that I should get me a truck to work on. :-P

I had planned on it. :-) But if I can find something else that fits for a great price, I'll pick it up. This is a budget build for me afterall. :lol: I'm going to try and keep my total costs of parts under $2000, if possible.

Oh, how things change. So far I've put $550 into my LUV, and I still have a LONG ways to go. I still have to buy mounts, have drive shafts made, buy a easy wiring kit, a new latch for the left side of the tailgate, new hood hinges, steering setup, and all kinds of other nickel and dime you kind of stuff.

They were used for 1 dyno pull, and that was it. Custom made by Sunset Racing for use at Texas Tech University.
