[/IMG]I have been doing small and odd lol jobs on my 1977 f150. I traded my 01 rx1 snowmobile to my dad for this. some say it was a bad trade but I love cars and trucks don't care much for sleds. I have been building a true 429 scj to drop in her and have plans of a top loader 4 speed after I send it to tremic to do a 5 spd conversion. I have a 275 posi rear end under it now lol and am slowly but surley buying my suspension parts. I also plans to do a full roll down rear window to go along with the pop out side windows. I have a front tilt hood and a boss hood scoop to put on her as well lol. it looks rough but its better than nothing at all. oh ya and its a stepside. yes a stepside not a flare lol because I used a chevy stepside from a 77 c10 I had. this is just what I have done so far. im gone a lot so its taking forever

 

I hope you have a thick skin. You are going to be gettin' it in stereo with that half breed. lol

 

lol ive been getting it for years don't bother me much because they don't have to drive it I do and I love what im building lol

 

You're right, build it like you want. It's your truck.
Rico is probably right though, be prepared to be blasted for the Chevy bed.

 

that's cool but from what ive seen most ppl are pretty supportive and make being part of this forum a blast and makes me want to show my build to the world. at least I chose a good truck for first hot rod

 

Yup!

 

I pull out the wheels ive had collecting dust for a long time blew em off and put some new tires on them[/IMG][/IMG][/IMG]

 

I want to see the pictures of everything you are going to do to it, subscribed. And welcome.


You posted about your wheels before I could hit the button. Are those rough or polished aluminum? And where are you located?

 

polished just been sitting in the seat of another ford I have in the middle of a field for bout 10 years haha just pulled em out and blew them off to see what they would look like

 

after buying the tires im at stand still until I round up about 1500 to do a proper I beam 3" drop with new coils and shocks as well as shackle 4" in rear. I have all the other new parts sway bar new steering rods ball bearings steering dampner poly upgrade kits new spindle new drilled and slotted brakes for front and conversion for rear. but all waiting on drop parts now lol

 

I was going to tell you that you could use some HVAC pink coil cleaner on them and they would look like new. I don't know about polished though. Mine are not polished and here is a picture of them.

 

those are sweet man. but mine are just temp im thinking I found a set of 17s that are denim black and red 5 spoke that ill prob change to next year. but thank you for the advice ill keep it in mind for future use. that's why I love this forum tons of experience on here and people don't mind helping out or patting on the back lol
