Well i'm new here, but I guess i'll start a build thread for my new toy. I've always been a mini truck and muscle car guy so i'm new to the whole 4x4 scene. I've been in the passenger seat for a few years, but I finally bought my own.
This is what I have to start with. It's a 78 250, built 460, .40 over, 520 lift cam, high rise, 4 barrel (the usual stuff...) C6 tranny, 6" lift from a 89 truck, dana 60/70, 36" swampers. It used to be a long bed truck and was shortened. Overall it's a good truck to start with.
So far all i've donr is the usual maintenence stuff. Not completely sure of where im going with this exactly yet. First things are electric fans and a new front drive shaft. Broke it on the first test run. Eventually i'll four link it i'm sure. Power steering is on the list for sure. Roll cage and exo cage aswell.
Here's a few pictures. Also any advice is welcome and appreciated.
Playing in 2 wheel drive is no fun
