Couple pics of what I'm starting with. Has a 2.3 and a 4 speed. Want to keep the 4 banger and have a better stance
Will be slow and on a tight budget

It is a little rough. But only paid $500 for it and gonna get a second engine and other spare parts.

Looking for something like this

That.1.guy · May 15, 2015

Getting a straight hood and fender after work tomorrow. This thing really needs a paint job it's bad

I paid $500 for mine and the only thing stock on the front is the hood. It got munched but the frame was straight. LMC truck has alot of aftermarket parts for reasonable. Bone yard Parts are getting more scarce in good condition. There have been a few guys here that have lowered their truck. Finding the right pitman arm for the steering box would be real important.

Need to find some decent wheels and tires only 3 stock steelies match and 4 different tires. Keeping an eye out on craigslist for a sset

That.1.guy · May 22, 2015

No updates yet just waiting to get tags and tires. Person I bought it from wanted to do a 4x4 swap so has 30's on it. Cleaning the truck up more makes it looke more like it should be a rat rod?
