eric's 77 chev

so i thought i would start a build thread. this is how it is now.


a couple years ago i pulled the bench seat out and installed buckets. at the same time i pulled my t350/203 twin stick out and installed a 4 speed 205 combo. after blowing 3 trannys in 6 months, this was a great mod for me.

i have a worn 12000lb winch that i mounted behind the bumper. this will be moved as i did not build the mounts strong enough and its hard to get to. i wired the controls into the dash of the trk. love that except if your by yourself its hard to real back in.

this is my motor. seen better days!!! ugly but runs good except i installed 750 double pumper on almost stk engine so it doesn't like to iddle. on the upside when your foot is to the floor theres not stopping it.

pic of my front end. i have a 14 bolt rear and 44 front. everything is pretty rusty from sitting for a while. hope to solve that problem soon. i have a 6 inch suspension and 3 inch body lift. 39.5/16.5 tsl. need bead locks bad!!
so there it is in all its glory....for now....

nice man,,what gears ya runnin in it?

[ericoffroad]

it still only has the 4:10's. worked pretty good for what i was doing, but am looking to go lower.

[ericoffroad]

ok i haven't done any work yet, but my newest plan is to move the rear axle 10 inches forward and shortening the bed to match doing a rear shackle flipp and and bobing the rear end off.



just some random pics that don't represent sh-t but whats there now.

personally i would take the body lift out, add a shackle flip and wheel it and see how it does on the trails

[ericoffroad]

current flex pics. took the truck behind the house today to get some pics of the flex i have now.


could have went more but driveline bottomed out. sh-ty..



i will be keeping the body lift though.
