'90 Xtra cab SAS
This will be a slow build. Plans are SAS, 5.0 Ford, NV3550 and dual cases.
After a year of having my kit on shelves in my garage I can finally start my swap. The truck is a '90 xtra cab that I am the second owner of. The truck has been a buddies house because I had my father-n-laws '71 Chevelle in my garage. Picked the truck up about a week ago and boy was I made when I got home. While loading the truck on the trailer the ramp twisted and the truck fell off and the side of the trailer hit my door. The truck had only a scratch or two until this happened.
I was lucky enough that it only got the door and not the rocker. Got the truck home and started cutting. As of today I got eveything cut, the front hanger and tubes in and welded and hung the front springs to see what shes gonna look like. Man I can't wait. Here are a few pics of my progress and a teaser at the bottom.
Here's the teaser
