[/b]i am starting a new toy it is a 1982 chevy long box it has some good stuff already 355 350th and a 208 the bad stuff is 32s and 273 gears but i have dana 60 and 14 bolt with 456s to go in and 8ins of lift iam going to run 38.5 rvts for now just waiting for hubs to be machined down then start to put it together i have to get a name for it yet
my '82 was called "Big Blue" getting rid of it though. I love it, it's taken such a beating and still beating. Nice truck. Keep it going.
how about big blue 2 or maybe ol blue, if you paint it blue. If you leave it black you could go with blackie, midnight runner, or how about midnight special.

umm...... big blue is chevyracer and the black one is super trucker............
the hubs will be done today maybe if i get a day off this week i will put it together i hope
umm, seen that, however, chevyracer said hes gettin rid of Big Blue so that frees up that name.... Although, I can see a certain point where that might be disrespectful to name a rig (SUPERTRUCKER)after another members ex rig (CHEVYRACER). But I would not see a problem with it if a member did want to run with the name of a members ex rig as long as he paid tribute to it and the onwer that owned the rig with, say, some burgers and brats. onthe grill and a case a beer. By the way TOMAC. Do the letters F/O mean anything to you....LOL
name it....shoulda built a dodge....loll that would be great....but seriously name it what ever its ur truck not theirs!
oh and gator82 i think you need to read the rules no flaming...if you have nothin nice to say then dont say it!
