steelcitytrucksFTW

BTW Troy - you are supposed to finish old projects before starting the next one....cough IRS SVO cough ;)

[yeahloh95]

i did finish the svo and sold it to a guy here at work , then found this truck a couple months ago and started sanding off the red primer, before i start on mechanical stuff it may get a 4.6 or my 351 not sure and it will keep all three pedals

Looks really solid. From the south?

[yeahloh95]

i got it here in pa , it was from west va, and yes it is super solid only a little bit of rust on drivers fender and bed on pass side , it has a 240 with 3 on the tree

it has a 240 with 3 on the tree

We have one of those in the garage......put a 429CJ/toploader combo in it.

[Mark Aubele]

I wish I could go back 15 years and buy 100 of these trucks, who would've known how popular they would become. Cool project

[PaxtonShelby]

Nice truck! Figures it'd be yellow!

Nice...did u like the irs? I thought it was light years better than the solid axle.

[CobraII]

Nice!

funny thing is the truck was in the red primer the cream color was under it and I think the original color is white , I might do dsg on it ???

[gmkillr]

LS swap?

[yeahloh95]

Maybe rob you never know any good deals on the harness to get one up and running in an old vehicle

[PaxtonShelby]

DSG would look nice. Or SGM :-)

[yeahloh95]

I am trying to go for something different maybe even a two tone

[jaa55]

I think we are ahead of the curve by buying these trucks now, I think it was a good call selling the SVTF. I see these getting super popular soon

[yeahloh95]

yeah I wish I could have grabbed the svtf but girl ended up getting an suv instead of my focus, I think these are on their way up for sure

[Maxpowers]

Nice!

[karnutz4]

Just clear coat it , lower it and put some 14 svt 19 and 20"s on it.

[yeahloh95]

that is the plan for this year , thad is going to letter it some too

[yeahloh95]

started lowering it back is almost done just need to notch the frame and add brace

Something about '68 Troy. I just bought a '68 C10 myself. Haha.
Nice project you have there.

The harness is cheap. An uncut one can be bought for $200ish. Its really simply to make it stand alone youreself. Its basically stand alone as it comes. Couple pins need pulled to the PCM and a few wires lengthened if you want the processor in-cab like me. If you're afraid to do your own, you can buy one already done for about $500.

[somethingclever]

looks great Troy

[wick]

You want the car intake too. Looks better with basically the same performance. The car harness is more desireable than the truck simply because there is a couple less wires to pull. I have a complete running and driving 02 Silverado with an LQ4. 6.0 LSx. Brand new 4L80E trans. You can find drop outs cheap too. I know Brian (jj's automotive) has a bunch.
