Ok first off im going to say i will not be in any shape to meet up and show this till the middle or end of july. going in for surgery and its going to take me out of commision for awhile, vehicle up for sale as is to cover medical bills. you want a project thats 90% done and could run with minimal work. here it is. currently needs rear drivelline and a front too, exhaust needs to be hooked up roll cage finished being welded. its all tacked in place just needed to weld and paint it. No tranny crossmember right now. changed to MORE bomb proof motor mounts and that changed toe location of the mount was going to fab something up then came surgery. a new cover for the floor where the shifter comes in.

Alignment and brakes workoed awesome before motor swap. loved this rig very much

what engine is in the rig? Your post says GM, but your pictures show an AMC.

it had a amc for awhile then every tom dick and harry who came to look at it bitched about the amc so i stuck a 350 that i had hanging around in there. i didnt mind, i tand to not like selling my amc motors.


FYI i finally got tired of the battle and the 8 was parted out. i still have the front axle, with shafts and brackets for the long arms, long arms and the frame if any one wants em make me an offer. :eek::barf:
