Spiderman Posted June 27, 2011 Report Share Posted June 27, 2011 My name is Richard, been around minis since around 1990. My girl and I picked this up to be our next project truck. Its a 78 owned by a good friend and before that his Dad. Needs some love, but we have a lot of plans for it. Right now its at a shop getting the floor replaced. Paid $400 and it runs and drives now that we replaced the clutch master and slave. Needs a color change asap lol. Here is a couple of our previous builds......

Spiderman Posted August 8, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 8, 2011 Scored a set of 17 inch Boyds last night for the truck, paid $300 for the set. They need some love but for the price you can't beat it! Quote Link to comment
bbqbill Posted August 9, 2011 Report Share Posted August 9, 2011 nice score they will look sweet Quote Link to comment
Big Schlink Posted August 9, 2011 Report Share Posted August 9, 2011 Those rims are nice, they would look awesome polished with the sunken portion by the lug nuts painted to match the truck. 1 Quote Link to comment
Spiderman Posted May 26, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 26, 2012 Sorry I haven't been around. Things have been crazy. I've had 3 surgeries since October and missed a ton of work. I hope we can get back on this truck soon, I should be back to work middle of next month. I have got some stuff done since the last time I was on here. The 17's ended up being 9" wide and the wrong offset so I sold them and got some 18" Boyd Blaster 6 wheels. They also need some polishing but once that is done they will get some rubber and get put on. We also stripped the bed down, did some rust repair that was much needed and did a roll in Herculiner. I also picked up some shifter bushings so I can fix that wobble. Quote Link to comment
