Couldn't pass it up for $2500.. Posted by: AZKC on April 28 2013,12:43 pm Nice Love the old shoeboxes... Posted by: shueman on April 29 2013,4:56 am Nice one... Posted by: GoFastRacer on April 29 2013,6:19 am Thanks guys.   I plan on switching to a stepside bed and I'll probably pull that toy motor and put the 468 in from the dually, should be a fun ride then..     Posted by: BigDog on April 29 2013,9:11 am Very Cool!!!  The 468 should make it a real fun rid for sure!!   Posted by: AZKC on April 29 2013,4:56 pm ---------------------QUOTE BEGIN------------------- Thanks guys.   I plan on switching to a stepside bed and I'll probably pull that toy motor and put the 468 in from the dually, should be a fun ride then..     -----------------------QUOTE END-------------------- I'd stick with the fleetside     Posted by: Sleek-Jet on April 29 2013,7:59 pm ---------------------QUOTE BEGIN------------------- Thanks guys.   I plan on switching to a stepside bed and I'll probably pull that toy motor and put the 468 in from the dually, should be a fun ride then..     -----------------------QUOTE END-------------------- Just make sure you put bigger wheels and tires on it...   Cool little ride Art.   Posted by: GoFastRacer on May 01 2013,6:07 am ---------------------QUOTE BEGIN------------------- ---------------------QUOTE BEGIN------------------- Thanks guys.   I plan on switching to a stepside bed and I'll probably pull that toy motor and put the 468 in from the dually, should be a fun ride then..     -----------------------QUOTE END-------------------- I'd stick with the fleetside     -----------------------QUOTE END-------------------- Got a step side I'll trade ya..

But no Mexican wheels for me 15's are good just need a little more tire though, but those wheels are ugly and will be replaced, thinking maybe some Centerlines??.. Eventually it's gonna look similar to this one.. Posted by: BigDog on May 01 2013,10:08 am Wheels are fine to me. But definatly need more tire on them to take the lowrider look away from it. Posted by: GoFastRacer on May 02 2013,5:48 am Yeah, they're only 24 1/2" tall 26" would bring it up to the fenders, and those wheels have too much back space wheels are tucked in way too far. Of course with a taller tire I'll probably have to drop a gear though.. Posted by: Carrera Elite on July 06 2013,12:15 am Did You Ever Finish The Nova??

Posted by: GoFastRacer on Dec. 30 2013,4:49 am Thanks, yeah step-side would be nicer alright, missed out on a donor truck too that's the worst part had all kinds of good stuff including a step-side bed, oh well on the hunt again. I did put some decent tires on it though looks a lot better.. end
