Tornado A tree fell through the garage where it sat since new until 6 years
I had offered to buy it 5 years before Belonged to a friends Dad & my Bro called me one day & said "You owe me $600" "You just bought a white ShortBed with a bad bedside"
I just went & picked it up this past November
It sat for 6 years at my Bro's house inside

Did you turn the front one up side down...and did you just cut the access off on the back? Sorry...couldn't talk you into more pics could I. I'm getting ready to lower the old RC I do believe.

Bob,

Truck looks great! On the front, did you cut any coils or just used van LCA with unmodified coils. Thanks!

Lee, my experience with the RamCharger was doing an axle flip & van LCAs with stock springs & it needed Dak spindles to level out or the rear spring hanger moved down roughly 2" The drop was 5 1/2-6"
I left the front hangers alone


In this pic it has matching tires all the way around

Finally got to do a little work om my 79 step-side street/strip project. Sat engine and trans down in it today. And to my amazement TTI 2" A-body under chassis headers fit like a glove. Pass required no work at all. Driver side i moved the Proportioning Valve and ground out a small area on the top of the frame rail for #7 header tube to clear.


How about some under body pics to show where the collectors are sitting.?

I thought I would pop into Moparts. I've been away from cars and forums for a while. A lack of hobby funds takes the wind out of your sails for sure. I'm researching a plan for the new drivetrain. I'm looking at building up a 400 based stroker.

I was looking at that for a while and talked to muscle motors about it. The 451 (400 block with a 440 crank) makes good power and is cheapest to build, assuming you have good used parts. The 472 (or something close to that) was the best bang for the buck. The 500 needs a lot of mods and external oiling, but is a beast. I've dealt with MM a few times and found them both helpful and experienced. Good luck, keep us up on it. Wish you were closer to WV I could get you started with my abandoned parts stash.
