I bought this as a 27, but it is the 23-25 body style. for title reasons I am calling it a 27. I bought it as a almost complete rolling chassis. fiberglass body with 20'' pickup bed.
plans: old style carbed 4.3 v6, th350, s10 rearend 3.07ratio open or locked diff. don't know yet. the front is a 4 or 6'' tube drop axle with no breaks at the moment. I want discs. it has rack and pinion setup in it, but everyone says it will have bad bump steer, so I might go with another steering setup. came with brans new weld wheels and tires, but they dont look good for a rat rod. I would like white walls and maybe some spoke wheels. all I have done on the build is set a 4.3 v6 in there to get motor mounts made and cut out the firewall and floor to fit trans. I would like to make this look a little more like a rat rod, but it wasnt designed to be a rat, so I might end up wit a plain hot rod T bucket. here are some pics.
if anyone has any info or ideas for looks and what not yell it out
