Post subject: | New Guy and New Truck! |
Hey guys, I'm new to the forum and also have a new pickup! I recently picked up a 73 W200 from a buddy to have as a farm truck as I slowly start to rest-mod it back you its full glory! I am going to go through the entire thing eventually and hope to then make it a daily driver. Things I am planning on doing to it: -Full interior restore with update (new model seats, gauge cluster, sound etc) -Going to pick up another 360 block to rebuild while drive it around, plan is as of right now is to do a low end torque 408 stroker. -paint is decent but want to pull whole thing apart and have all metal reshoot -disc brake conversion -possible transmission change (need to do more research) -rebuild and replace all that is needed in the rest of the powertrain -Then start putting secondary accessories on i.e. Custom bumpers, off road lights etc Just wanted to pop in, post some pictures, tell you guys what I was thinking for the final end result and see what you guys thought [img][img]http://farm6.staticflickr.com/5521/9814854946_a62d922a57_c.jpg[/img] Untitled by countrystyle4life1, on Flickr[/img] Just click to the left and you will be able to see them |

Great Truck! Joe at www.mopartruckparts.com has a lot of parts. Look forward to seeing the progress. those 8 lug trucks were a lot more "macho" (TOUGH) than there little brother 1/2 tonners. |

Right on, thanks! If you guys got any do's donut's or any advice, I would really appreciate it! Update: Just drove hour and half and picked up the new engine for $60 and the guy said he was moving so gave me for free a hood, two doors, front quarter panels, inside door panels/trim, 3 grills, a set of headlight bezels and an extra carb. SCORE! |
