Here's some in progess pics.

I havent really done awhole lot due to finacial restrictions but hey what can you do right lol

here's all the wires I ripped out of the engine bay lol (and yes thats an extension cord someone used for wireing )



Just took this out yesterday, I'm told it leaks so we're gonna check that and patch it up if it needs it, this all freed up the space needed to pound out the dent in the box.



My "pumpkin" lol. It looks kinda funny right now I know but hopefully it'll look better once I tremclad the rest of the axle black. (the front is the same colour lol)



Here's how it looks now, as of yesterday.



ooo free tires



I dont have many pics but I have a got a few more kickin around that I'll post up when I find em.

Your own build thread, Cool. :thumbup2: The truck looks like a good start.

But, those mirrors will tear off faster than the ones on your Heep.

Nice! I love primered trucks. Looks agressive like that... almost like the back alley thug.

Good start to the build thread! :thumbsup:
Now tell us what extra parts you got. Like what axles are the extras? a pair of the same for parts? (some of us don't know automatically by looking at one lug, )
What engine/trans/x-fer combo does it have? stock?

Cmon, details man.

Cmon, details man.

the extra axles are a 14bff/d44 combo same as whats under my truck now. ( the 14bff is in perfect working order, the D44 I belive just has a seized Hub)

it's a 76 like I said with thr 400ci small block that runs very well, TH350 tranny, NP203 TC (that needs to be replaced).

It's got a body lift of some kind on it,it was on there when I bought it, I tihnk it's a 3" but I never got out a measuring tape to check.

oh ya it's got 4.09 gear ratio's that im gonna have to upgrade in the futre. probably to 4.56's

those pro-comps I threw on there are 315/75/16's

oh ya and in that pile of extra pieces are 1 pair of fenders,2 hoods ( one of witch is now on my truck),3sets of rear glass,1 set of side glass, 1 intake manifold, a box of about 5 or 6 alternators and starters, misc body trim, 2 fan shrounds, spare Rim, and a few more misc things that I cant think of off the tope of my head lol
