NEW Project

Post by Leadfoot »

Well while cleaning up the yard I realised I got Enough peaces from left over projects to build A nice little Pu. So I going to try ta thought some peaces together with a low budget of $1000.00 ta see what I can come up with.

Well Im looking for some thing different. like scratch built frame, with a 8.8 posi rearend. basic mustang 5.0l stuff with a 69 or 70 truck jammed on top. So Im thinking low like the basic ride hight of a 92 5.0l Mustang. :hmm: with the narrow rear end it should leave enough room for some wide wheels and tires on back.

:hmm: For the power I got a choose 3.8l turbo? a 390/C6 with 32000 original miles. or a 5.0l and a T5 trans? Im leaning to wards the 5.0l & T5 combo. With a aluminum 1 pc drive shaft. gas cost to much for the 390 its going ta be a daily driver. and I drive around 700 km a day.

For the body I got a mint cab with factory buckets. some spare glass fenders, and either a 69 Ranger gill with blacked out headlight buckets or a 1970 thats in good shape both are good looking so I am having a real hard time picking the grill. I gess when I get to that point I'll just put on the one whats closest to the truck. :shh:

For the box I don't know what to do I'm thinking a short box but I can't decide fleet side, step side or some sort of service deck, I like to pack a good amount of tools, air compressor, & welder but I need room for my motor bike also. :hmm:

Well this time I'll be sure ta take some pics of the build up. I hoping ta get her done by the beginning of July. :hmm: it should be tough with 2 full time jobs and it being boating season. Maybe I have to quit work so I can finish my truck. :shh:
WHAT ?
