Well I tried to sell it but no one wanted it so i decided to finish her! I've been working on the "MIDGET" OH i finally came up with a name.

Been working on her for about three weeks now got the dash pretty much finished just need a few little things and working on doing a cab swab. I had some major rust holes in the floor so i got a cab off of a 1983 truck and gutted it fixed the small rust hole in the floor. I just have to set the cab and front clip back on the frame. I traded the ford 9" for a dana 60 rear end. I found out that and 8 lug axle swap isn't worth the time or money on a 9". Ill post some pics in a few. $Beer Chug\'n$

Going back to the 4cyl i dont know enough about the domestic motors and its going to cost me alot of money to get the truck running. So new plan. Sell the 302 and tranny and put a 22r or 22re with 5sp and single case back in the truck. I got the hood, grille and headlight bezzles mounted

Holy crap, I just caught up from page 16. You've done a lot of nice work, glad to see your going to finish up the midget.

Its going to be orange and black everything you see white is going to be black. My cousin owns a hot rod shop and is going to do so some air brushing on it to add a little something special.

rednk1980 · « **Reply #648 on:** Jan 20, 2009, 04:40:48 PM »

those pics are in the little naches on top of manastash at the funny rocks. You can get to them from the 410 side or can come in from E-burg. Alot of fun trails and the rocks are always entertaining.

i need a motor and tranny (toyota) or an adapter and 300$ to get the 302 running in it. I've had people offer to buy the v8 but no real takers as of yet.

rednk1980 · « **Reply #654 on:** Feb 10, 2009, 12:14:38 PM »

Well guys here we go again.

I got a 22re out of a 91 toyota truck with 5spd tranny complete truck harness and ecu. So in theory i should be able to hook a battery to the harness and the motor will start. But we all know that ain't gonna happen. Plans are to tear the harness apart to just what makes the truck run. I also got a dual master cylinder set up from willwood for the front and rear brakes. Working on a way to run two pedals but that later on down the road. Thats pretty much all i have for now. Cant get started working on it till end of march or april sometime. I have to finish my dads truck.

List of to do's:
Get motor running.
Plumb new brake system
4.70 gear set in rear case
Hysteer
finish interior and Dash
Cage (since i tore the other one out)

Well for the last couple days i've been working on some half doors that are going to become permanent doors. They aren't quite finished yet im still going to fiberglass all the seams.

there wood....

no i wanted to use wood because its something different and if done right looks clean.

rednk1980 · « **Reply #658 on:** Feb 17, 2009, 03:26:15 PM »

Well i got one of the doors fiber glassed and to say the least they are going to be sick! I bailed on putting a cup holder in them however. Ill post some pics up later. Getting my motor next week. I have to drive like 3.5 hours to kelso so i had to wait till i had the time. Were shooting for a July 4 done date but there is still alot of little things to do.

rednk1980 · « **Reply #659 on:** Feb 17, 2009, 07:25:52 PM »
