Welds truck
 
Love this old truck
Also glad you figured out you want the hp
My old farm truck with patina was just supposed to
be an old beater driver. Now I am thinking out with
the small block and in with the billet crank destroked
Pontiac 455 that is now 440 inches. Big torque monster
Then do a tubular updated suspension etc

I guess us old hot rodders can't leave things alone:)

I see a lot of dish (or lip as the kids call it) but no inner tub in the bed?

Jeff-



The tire fits inside the fender only --- it's "okay" widthwise but it's not pro-poser-touring. I'd personally like to see a 315 back there - but then you either chop in to the bed ---- or widen the fender and that starts to get ugly. As a daily driver - more than anything else - it'll be fine.

Pretty cool truck for a race car driver.

Thanks Trey!

This shop has just been excellent to work with. They contact me with any question.... they bill - in detail - every 2 weeks - there are no surprises - and they have great ideas and totally seem to get the direction. So refreshing!

Pinkee's never asked me anything - mostly because - you'd actually have to be working on it once in awhile to have any questions! Only time I ever heard from them was when he wanted more money. LOL Took me asking several times to get a billing statement - and then it was just some phoney made up BS.

There's been more work done on the truck since JUNE than was done in the last 2 years! Mike told me it's only a couple months away from going to paint.
