Hey Guys, I'm new here, I just found this site.. Some of you may already know who I am, but for those who don't I'd like to post some before and today pics of my 78, that I named POWER WAGON EXPRESS TRUCK.. I started with a 78 2 wheel drive truck and a 74 Power Wagon chassis.. Completely stripped and and put back together piece by piece replacing everything with new or NOS parts when I could find them.. I did a custom full tilt front clip from OEM sheet metal, not aftermarket fiberglass.. 440/727/divorced 205.. Below are links to 3 videos also of the complete buildup from start till now in 1-2-3 order..

Thanks, It actually drives pretty great since I put crossover steering and track bar on it.. The tires are 44" PITBULL ROCKERS, and they ride pretty smooth with only a small bounce at 45 MPH.. It rides better than it did with the 8" lift and 35" SWAMPERS I had on it before.. |
