Bradslab's 77 SuperCab build
Hey fellas, here's my 77 SuperCab, finally decided to get to working on it and getting stuff done! I've had the truck for 3 years, bought it just NE of Atlanta,GA for $1000 and drove it home to Dearborn, MI (700+ miles!) I have a ton of parts for it in the garage, DJM Beams, all new steering, all new brake parts, wheels & tires, yadda yadda.
Here it is grazing in the pasture back home in GA when I picked it up!
351M
Someone had house carpet in it before...it's gone!
Getting the 351M out.
Had to hulk the Engine and trans out alone.

I tore the engine down today and took it to the machine shop for a nice cleaning, cam bearing install, and a .030 over bore as well as a hone. All journals are within manufacturer spec so no need to get oversized bearings.
Mileage was unknown, but it looks like it had a bit by the bearings!
Remember, keep it all in order!
Got my radius arms off, cleaned up and painted.
Edelbrock Performer 400, picked it up on ebay for $120 bucks!

Here are my wheels and tires I chose to run. 17x8 Cragar Soft 8's wrapped in 255/60/17 General Grabber UHP's.
Also my DJM Beams. Had new king pins installed, one was seized and took 50 tons of pressure to free up!
