Starting to gather parts
Well looks like we are going to be able to run a 2 ton rearend in the 2.6 2wd class. Time for me to start hitting some of the old salvage yards where I know some old trucks are sitting. Maybe I'll do good and find a F106 I can get cheap. When it warms up I want to start working a bit more on the old girl. I'm gong to box the entire frame and build some traction bars. I'm hoping to find a complete donor for engine and that. Any tips you guys can think of let me know.
Andy

I'm going to keep everything so I can put it back to stock if I move on to something else I think Mark. Only thing that will possibly go is the 4 speed and big block Mark.

A unmolested 454 is getting hard to come by around hear so price is going up on them. I'm going to take my time and hopefully have a solid running truck when its all done.

Cool...yeah I plan to tear my 79 K20 down to the frame starting next winter. Gonna do a full frame off resto...can't decide if I wanna build its current .030 over 350 into a 383 stroker, build a mild 454, or drop a 12V in it? Once its done I am going to find a 80's 4x4 crew cab to redo and definately convert to CTD and use as a daily driver/family vehicle.
Take LOTS of pics of this project Andy because.....
EDIT: BTW...I hope to have a crew cab that somewhat resembles this when its done...minus stacks & grahics/chrome

Its going to be allot slower then yours but I have a good foundation to start with. I went and looked at a wrecked 95 dodge today and that guy must have bumped his head. There wasnt a straight piece on the truck, rearend was in the bed after being tore out. I asked him what he wanted and about fell over when he said 6K.

He didnt like it when I laughed at him and said no really what do you want for it? I just thanked him for his time wished him luck and went home.
