after looking for the last 6 months craig's list came thru for me...



not often you can test drive four different tire sizes at once...



everything from a 26.5" to 31" even had a 16" wheel thrown in...




found some ram 1500 take off so i could take a look at the stock stance.
much improved over the unintentional gasser look and drives a bit better as well...

 

Looks Great! Welcome to the fridge truck world. What a difference having proper tires makes. What's the engine/powertrain, and what are your plans? Thanks for posting.

 

Congrats ! and we can see that grin from here btw

 

it's a 292 y block truck with a three speed and i'm going to keep / rebuild the
stock motor. as far as plans just, a daily driver for now and to make that a little
nicer i got one of these bits...

 

Nice looking truck! Welcome to FTE!

 

Wow, great find!! I have been looking all over the yards, etc here in Michigan for a complete unit like that and have had 0 luck. They are all parted and that can add up to alot of $. So the search goes on.

 

Crown Vic? I've always wanted one.... Not the front end, the whole car.

 

yah, my strategy was pretty simple, (not very smart and hard on
the wallet) make offers to any and everybody...



...overpayed and ended up with 2 of them. now i need another truck!

Excellant!

 

I'll bet I've got socks older than you. LOL!

 

i hope not, the truck is only a year older than me....

 

I do exaggerate now and then.

Actually, they're my wife's socks.

 

finally got the truck over to the shop to get started.
i'm 4-baring the rear end so started popping off rivets
and cleaning up the frame to notch it...

 

then welded the notches in...



chop the frame and boxed them up...

 

still have some boxing to do but getting there...
