I do however want the motor out of it in my runner When I can get a new truck (hopefully soon) for a tow rig, the 350 is staying with me Aside from the motor the rest of the truck sucks and has so many electrical issues its not even funny! But again for $1500

Dude, that is awesome. Where did you learn all you did about cars, engines, etc enough to chop and build your rig?
Do you have like a shop in your garage?

Keep up the badass work !!

thanks

I live in an apt and work on the truck when I can up at my parents place. I dont really have a shop its more like a garage bay that I took over from my parents I only wish I had a shop.

I know some but definitely am no expert on it! So much I still need to learn. I learn something new everyday! I learned it all from searching, asking questions and trial and error. Ive made alot of mistakes but have also had a ton of success and great times. It helps also to know alot of people that also have a love and passion of wheelin. I owe alot to my friends and family and of course many of your here on YT!

Thanks dude!

could you post a better pic of your rig so I can see the whole thing, hehe, Ive been going through the archives of this thread with dial up internet, and if I acually found a picture it would either not load, or be a picture of an half torn apart engine

thanks!
