pre-war purchase...with a twist

This is super fuckin cool :tup: seems like there’s a huge advantage to being out west when it comes to finding cool cars for sale.

not going to find them in this thread.

the truck is the burnout machine.

although look up @brassjunkie on IG and he posted a little video from this past weekend

It’ll blow the trans. Cool ride! I love that old school burban sitting next to it though

:tup: Something different on here.

Im into it and Im hard

love it :tup:

God dammit I love this thing. Are you planning to make anymore big changes to it? Or just enjoy it mostly as it is?

no major changes really.

getting the other gauges working, need to add hinges to the rumble seat lid and want to get a tonneau cover made for it

other than that just enjoy driving it really.

Dude we have the same trans set up. Do you know what bellhousing you are using? (is the shifter plate parallel to the ground?) I need to get a shifter assembly to offset leveling out the trans. Might cut/weld the shifter instead.

ha ive got a super sweet cracked bellhousing on this thing. not sure what its actually out of.

ill have to check im not sure about the shifter.

I am running this bellhousing. https://shiftsst.com/gm-621-reproduction-bellhousing.html
