New Project- 1979 Scottsdale

[KKelley]

Thanks. I'll get some more pics tomorrow after I get the new shocks installed

 

[KKelley]

I'm thinking about scraping these diff gaurds. What do y'all think?

 

[BlackedOutHoe]

Yeah I'd pull em unless you plan to see rocks.

 

[KKelley]

I think the design of them is kinda cool but they're just too big and gaudy

 

[KKelley]

Well I took off the rear guard when I was installing the new shocks (which was a bitch)

All I lack under the hood is painting the headers and I've got new mufflers coming in to redo the exhaust

Still debating on taking the front diff guard off

The work space

I'd leave the guards on, gives it a beefy look. :shrug:

I had been looking around for an older lifted truck for a while when I came across this one and I ended up getting it for a price I just couldn't pass on. I'm not positive on the specs of the modifications because the guy I bought it from had bought it as is and wasn't very knowledgeable. It was originally a show truck and was built professionally. I know it's rough right now but everything is solid and it runs great.

Basic specs
-6" suspension lift (I think)
-3" body
-hydraulic lift dump bed
-dual shocks all around
-fully built 350 bored .30 over
-39x18 MT Baja Belted's on 15x12's

Also the hood, grill, and fenders are all welded together so the whole front end opens forward. I'll post pics of this soon

Plans:
-Sand, paint, and powdercoat underbody and suspension components
-replace exhaust (right now it's basically straight headers)
-remove tint and replace side windows
-Fix rust spots on body for now, repaint the whole truck later on down the road
-Possibly add more lift


Let me know what you think :cheeky2:

I recognize your tbss from owners im ls2aero there! Welcone aboard!! Hows life been there?! You going to make it to the fall out?

I plan on leaving the front one and I can always put the rear one back on but it stuck out too far and just looked like a pan to catch leaks or somethin

Shit no lol I hate cleaning and painting the undercarriage. It's not as bad on this one because I can just sit straight up with plenty of room to move around

I have no idea man lol I never get on there anymore either

35" boggers would be so titties

That's not necessarily a bad thing. :cheeky:

I know it. Or even some 37's. But I can't find or afford any

That's not necessarily a bad thing. :cheeky:

It doesn't leak! :thefinger:

 

[BOO5TED]

Right now it doesn't.

 

[KKelley]

I really don't plan on keeping it that long. I got it for such a good deal that if someone offers me even close to what it's worth I'd sell it and make a good profit
