The Stovebolt Site Forums The Shop Area General Truck Talk Please help

just my 2 cents, You look to be on the younger side. So as I do,you like the look of the truck just want to update it.Some advise here is good,some is just opinion as is mine. the old timers will hammer you about keeping it stock. Now my guess is you are not interested in that route.Either way it will cost you big dollars to do it correct. So one thing that is good advise is to get it running as is.Like mentioned before get the brakes,steering, and motor in top notch shape.Get it safe to drive and then go from there.But most of all get a plan!! I started with s-10 idea, bought an expensive s-10 conversion kit (sitting in storage) Then decided to go with original frame with mustang 2 ifs, 4 link rear end. My truck is built for my pleasure not interested in the (sale) value when I'm done. But one thing for sure you wont get out of it what you put into it.(dollar wise anyway)But making it yours how you want it is priceless !!! Get info here,then plan your build, price out everything new this will get you in the ballpark then you can save a bit by trading,swap meets,used parts, scrap yards etc...good luck !!
