Deleto along with mav thread.. Its the wrong forum. My friends see it coming together and are always welcome. Spending time building it(and 3 other projects)
This site has gone downhill,many of the quality posters are gone and tech help is thin.

agreed. Well if you have it up on a resto mod , hot rod or classic truck board link me to it!. Im PM if you wish. Laura and I were actually hunting around on Ebay after missing an old dodge 1 ton we looked at then put off making a decision. I have a 2000 chevy K2500 ( yes they made the old style from 98-00 even wirh the new style out) Anyway its got a fuel injected 454 , 4x4 , auto trans , good rear and shit and only 37,000 miles been looking for a proiject to do a drivetrain or possibly a whole chassi swap as the body on the 00 is beat to FUCK and well My 1st car was almost a 56 ford f100 .. I got screwed out of it tho so ive always had an underlaying urge to do up a street truck. I was enjoying your thread alot. I didnt notice it was gone I always just checked it when i saw it on the top of the list

You think your '00 is beat up,wait till you try making a 40's truck look decent It can be done but takes alot of time and cash to get parts. Basically gotta love it. Having a newer chassis helps alot. I basically redid everything on the chassis,engine,and all mechanical controls. I recently cut the entire dash off in favor of another. Ill post pics when further along. I will finish it and do something daily.

Yeah Joe I know the 00 isnt as ratty as most of the project trucks around but one way its just a dented to fuck low milage truck that looks like its got 300,000 miles on it. The other way its a cool old truck =)
