Normally pretty active on FABO, new here but if I get this truck tonight, it will be uncharted territory for me. In the short term I'll probably just get it rolling, running and stopping to tool around town as a rolling project. That should be no big deal since it's a typical /6, 3 spd and some small upgrades overall.
Eventually I see myself getting deep in the weeds with either a small block or 3G Hemi swap and CV IFS swap. For those who've done this, are there headers already made for these combos or am I going to learn how to build them? Not opposed to learning new stuff, but modding a set or finding right parts up front helps.
Also, any common issues I should look out for other than frame damage, rockers, floors and cab mounts?
Going to likely need a front bumper, anyone have a pattern/drawing for a diy one?
Long term goals.
1. Engine swap
2. CV IFS
3. Total rewire
4. 4 link and watts.
5. Lower it
Basically I want to build this as a fun driver that handles well and has some extra juice when needed.
This is the truck now. Anyway, any info would be greatly appreciated. Looking forward to finally having one.
