New to Forum. Just started Building my 1980 4x4 shortbed.

So I have completed the 4-cylinder to 4.3L chevy v-6 conversion. The transmission is a turbo 350 4 speed. Will probably upgrade eventually. The truck has a 4" suspension lift with a 3" body lift on top of that. Thats all I have done so far. Hid headlight upgrade. Will keep you posted as I go along. Will post pics as soon as I figure that out.

Here are some pics.




This last pic shows where I just installed the custom radiator bracket I made. It take 6 bolts and removing the hoses and the radiator pivots out.
Those wheels are only temporary also. I have a set of 35's I am putting on it when I get back from sea.
