I just picked up another showcase vehicle for sunk works. I will start on the triples right after I get the 5th gear fixed.

Should make for a nice tow vehicle.

Dave my triples, I will have less then $500 into. Lots of hrs, but the parts themselves are cheap. Lots of options everything from JY setups, to dual ball bearing tial v banded top shelf stuff.

I picked this piggy up last week. but I want to slam my Ppump engine into it before I start driving it. but I need a 64/66~ish turbo I can just bolt up to it right now. my favorite thing about it is the rear diff was swapped to a 2001.5 D80 with disks and 3.55s.

Me too, I like the whole setup.


ya I'll have to eyeball the height of them. My red dodge was a little too high like that as well. something like 4" lower I'll have to think about it.

yup. I'm going to leave the body and paint original looking. I'll put the power polisher on it but thats about it. that partial OEM look and partial new age look is what made me love it.
