1984 half ton drag truck project

[dazedandconfused]

Well I bought a half ton to drag race with. Going to put my 93 engine and trans in it for now. I pick the truck up Friday after he pulls the 360 out of it.

Looks like a good start. I'm just about finished with mine. The wheels came in tuesday. Looks like I will be able to be at TS at least looking decent. I've promised myself that I will be gentle on the truck till I can get another trans. lined up.

[dazedandconfused]

We need some updated pics of yours Brett. I'll be glad to get it and get started.

only person besides me who's seen it in the past month is my wife. I'll get pics after it comes out of the shop and gets it wet sanding.

On a side note: I like the mirrors on your project, i am currenty just going without.

[dazedandconfused]

They are broke though so need to find some more like those. It looks different then in the pic. There are no moldings on it right now. Which wheels did you go with?

[RumbleFish]

if you arent going to use them, i might be interested in the steel wheels in the pics

That truck has a really nice stance. Anything custom going on under it? Axle flip, blocks, or what?

[dazedandconfused]

Axle isn't fliped. I didn't pay attention to the rear that much. Plan to four link a Dana 60 under it so didn't matter to me.

Well getting screwed out of this. Seller is backing out of deal and not wanting to give my deposit back. I'm livid right now.

[delinquent]

sucks...

[1STGENFARMBOY]

Sounds like a good old fashioned floggin is in store.

[RumbleFish]

how can you back out and not return a deposit? hope this guy burns for it....

[dazedandconfused]

I got my money back this morning. I went over to his house with a baseball bat at 6 am and he about sthi. His wife actually gave me my money back. Have a few leads on a couple others so hope to have one in a week or so.

"Big Andy" showing at the door with a bat at 6am. I think I'd have my wife give the money back while I cowered under the bed too!
Glad to hear you got it. There'll be other trucks.

LOL just makes me mad people don't stand behind their word. I'm not that big anyway.
