Well I actually got this off Epay....lol. It has custom made rims from a company that makes stock car wheels. there is 12 inches of tire under the back with the offset. I have a custom hood that I will post a pic of soon. I am working on welding up and repairing the little amount of rust in the cab. I have taken out the old tired 3 speed and put in a 5 speed from a 93 mustang gt. Fabing a custom mount currently. I have the original smoked windshield. It has been dropped in the front with a 4 inch drop axle from the guys in OK. It has been flipped in the back and will get C-notched real soon. I'm replacing the wiring and most everything on it so I can drive it daily. Then I'm selling my Chevy....lol. Went from chevy to Ford in a big swoop. I know nothing about them, but have plenty of people around me who do and I'm not afraid to ask questions or for help.

Looks like a good project. That chrome (grille & bumper) look straight and shiny.

Here are a few updated pics....been a while and unfortunately I have run out of cash till I sell my silverado. Anyway hope everyone likes them.

Shifter made from an old stove handle

Chrome powder coated. Drilled holes and were too big so I got some rubber hose, sliced it down the middle, glued ends together and worked like a charm. Looks pretty good too.

Little dark, but shows booster, master cylinder and clutch master cylinder.

Motor ...Roller 302 with 5 speed
