Pics Up tomorrow. But here is what is going on.
I got a 1994 RCSB Full Size w/ a 4.3 auto for doing a engine swap for a kid. He didn't have all the money to pay me and I needed a vehicle so I took it as part of my pay. Thing sat for about a year. All we did was fill the tires with air and Jump the battery and it fired right up. Need less to say it need some work. The kid cant drive and put it in a few ditches. Need some work to get it back on the road. But we got it half way home and it was over heating Freeze rusted out. Well I put a freeze plug in it and fixed the front end and drove it as it was. Trans only had 1st and 2nd but I drove it any way. Well need less to say I killed the trans after 3 months of use.
I pulled the motor and trans out of it and dropped a 350 and newer 4L60E in it. Put newer fenders on it. Better hood. Got a 3 core radiator for it. I found a stepside bed for 200 bucks just needs a tailgate. I have a new rear window for it Need to put Cab corners on it. Like to put a roll pan on it as well. Plain to do drop it a bit. Like to do a 2/2 or a 2/4 drop to it. I need to find a solid front bumper with out he plastic trim. I really want to find a set of Old Chrome Steel rims off a 454SS/LS rims. It need some Interior work as well but thats last on the list.
Waiting on pics! !!!!!!!
I know I know. I spent all day getting ready for tests that I failed anyways. LOL I am so damn glad I am done with school. I will get a few tonight or in the morning. She anit much to look at now, but I hope it will when I am done.
I did find a set of Outlaw IIs with some nice wide tires for it today, Going to pick them up tomorrow afternoon or Friday.
ill look in the morning for pics lol ;)
wheres the pics ??? ??? ??? ???
Finely got some pics of it.
Got the new bed sitting over by the barn. Need to make some saw horses for it so I can fix the dents on it and what surface rust it on it.
I am going to need another DS fender for it. The on on there is better than the old on but its going to be looking like old one if I sand it down and work on it. Still looking for a painted front bumper and a roll pan or a nice painted rear.
I thinking about buying the Summit Racing Paints and giving them a try. I have read some good reviews about it so I going to give it a shot.

Well I did a massive one wheel peel in it today. It spun the damn thing up in to third gear. Was freaking cool as hell. My son was in riding with me and he was like "OOOOHHHH YEEEAAA DAD This thing is Fast" I just started laughing at him.

I wanted to do black and I still may with some type of addition custom work to it. I really dont know yet.
Got a few pics of some of the work I got done over the weekend and this week so far.
OH and the New RUST-TOLUM auto paint sucks ass. I put down the bare metal primer let it dry as it told me on the can. Then put some High fill over it to do some work on the Hood and Fender. The Damn p00 Crows Footed. I will never buy that crap again. I do need to go get some more. Shop Line (PPG's Cheapest Line) Epoxy and 2K Primer this week so I can finish up the bed and Front clip.
One side almost done.

(pics up tomorrow photobucket is acting weird) I got the other hood sanded down and prime and ready for the hole to be cut in to it got the Mustang hood scoop. I took the OEM hood scoop off the junker Mach 1 out back. Got the sun visor almost ready to go.
The bed I got early is not going to be used. I need to fix the wheel well on it and I dont really feel like doing that.
Tomorrow I plain to start to get it in flat black. Need to get it all ready to go for next week.

I need to drop the rear end 2 inches. So All I am going to do is a Shackle drop on it and nothing more. The spring up front are the v6 springs and the weight of the 350 dropped it down 2 inches from stock.
Oh yea I picked up paint for it as well. New Holland Yellow. Going to get some Black as well and do a muscle car look with it.
Like the Boss 302 and combining it with the RS/SS Camaro strip. Only one strip instead of three.

Well the bed if off as an hour ago. Now the fun begins. Need to fix the cab corners, Rear brake line, Pinon Seal, trans output seal and find both ends for the taillight harness that plugs together under the bed (it had electrical tape holding the wires together and that was it).
I can not believe that I never had a electrical fire on this truck.
The Kid I got this from is a complete hack jobber and I will never talk to him again.
Oh yea I will get pic tomorrow. Its to dark now.
Bed off and read for a good old strip down. All I need to do is gut the inside of the cab, pull the back glass out, pull the windshield, undo front clip, have Eroq weld in my cab corners, fix the dents on the doors and it will be ready for paint.

Here is my Sexy New Dash. OOOOOOH AAAAAAAHH. It all nice and Low-gloss black
(http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c148/cannaert/Newtruck015.jpg)
Well The Cab is almost stripped down. Got to Pull the column or at least drop it out of the way. I have 4 blots left and the wiring and it will be out. Need to pull the seats and that is about it.
Dash is out now and I need to pull the Hav/AC box

There is al my hard work for the day. Lets see what I can get done tomorrow.

lookin awesome chris...keep up the hard work
Well last week Eroq got the cab corners welded in for me. Now its on to the body rest of the body work. Got a new fender from CBakes and need to get it scuffed up and and painted along with the hood. Going to bring the bed over and get that done as well.
The cab is the only thing that is going to take a little bit of time to finish up. I need a whole dash wiring harness for it and to finish up some other small Odds and ends on the inside before i get to working on the body work.
Well I had to get a new DS door. The old one was so bad every time I popped out a dent and work on the next one the old one would pop back in. Man I love tin canning.
But today my Dad help me put the bed on it. Yea its just sitting on there, but it at least it looks like a truck now.
I did find a GMC Denali Front clip that was damaged for a real nice price. Only thing I need to get is a DS Head light and turn signal housing.
But any ways here it is Semi together
