derekmac Posted September 18, 2017 Report Share Posted September 18, 2017 LS swap planned yet? Hehe Looks like a good little truck man! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomWood Posted September 18, 2017 Author Report Share Posted September 18, 2017 Body and frame are near perfect, engine needs head gasket so I bought a top end gasket kit ($82). After that there are a couple spots to clean up the body work then it should be road ready. Needs a couple of seatbelts as well. After a couple years and some figuring out the weak spots it will be V8 swapped and the summer truck. Planning for a carbed SBC and try to get a good rearend for it.

Although would 4.56 be too low for a planned SBC? lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TomWood Posted September 20, 2017 Author Report Share Posted September 20, 2017 I think that would be good! Also been checking out chev rear ends for same bolt pattern as well. Should be a good project and a good start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B4ckdrop Posted December 12, 2017 Report Share Posted December 12, 2017 what other mods you'er planning for it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomWood Posted December 15, 2017 Author Report Share Posted December 15, 2017 Gonna fully cage it, fuel cell, flatdeck possibly, then work in a turbo setup out of an MX6/ford Probe. Same block as the truck, just need the top end and wiring/ecu. This is all over a couple years Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SQRLPWR Posted December 15, 2017 Report Share Posted December 15, 2017 everytime I see a flat decked rig, I wanna do it to the Zuk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomWood Posted December 17, 2017 Author Report Share Posted December 17, 2017 Oh man, the flat deck is really starting to be the idea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomWood Posted February 26, 2018 Author Report Share Posted February 26, 2018 So With the help of Paul we started tearing into the engine. Only to find three of the four cylinders need honing. Plan now is to find a V8 and get it setup with some more power. I am leaning hard to making it a 4x4 as well so it will be an interesting project.

autumnwalker Posted February 26, 2018 Report Share Posted February 26, 2018 I like the 4x4 idea. Is this thing IFS or SFA? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomWood Posted February 28, 2018 Author Report Share Posted February 28, 2018 2WD at the moment with torsion bar front. Would be going SAS with it and matching rear. Right now I have managed to get a V8 so the process begins on figuring out what is needed for a successful swap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
