This brings me fond memories of me and my old man building up the 69 mach 1 that was supposed to be my first car. Didn't end that way, but that isn't important. The build was the best part. Nicely done sir.  :biggthumpup:

Thanks man! I may end up pulling the motor and re-building it. It sat for like 10 years because of a cab fire in the truck it came out of. Whats good is that I know all the wiring is good to go since I actually was able to fire it up and rev it a bit. Need to tinker some more with it. Hard parts done. Now its just dial it all in and go wheeling :)

He will be 17 on April 19. Been kind of slow going getting his license. He is all done with the driver training. Just need to get him to the DMV here soon to get the official License!  :driving:

I'm thinking about pulling the motor out and having it re-built.

I wish I had done more to mine before completing my motor swap. Mine is an oily leaky mess now.

Wow its been a while since I've posted but I'm still working on this thing. Reed has been given a 99 4Runner that I bought from ryantowry81 so this truck has become a spare for me. Reed will no doubt end up wheeling it when its done but he has dreams of building his runner some day. Anyway, I had the 3rz gone through. Can't wait to unwrap it and start dressing it. More to come.

SqWADoosh [04:19 PM]: *sigh* I guess Chris is right and I just need to wait until I'm in a place where I have a tow rig and trailer before I get this caliber of truck

Prismo [06:11 PM]:   Done, time to relax or as Bestgen says....FREEDOM!

Build thread for the Boy. Good Idea!


This is not a build thread for the boy, anymore haha. When he gets motivated to build something, I will help him and he will make a thread. He's in love with the 4Runner he has but I'm sure he will show some interest in this truck once its finished haha. Anyway, making some progress on dressing the motor. More to come...
