50 Willys PU Street fighter

[shizzy]

Here is my project. It's a 1950 Willys Pick up. I was talking with my friend over beers about this Street fighter truck idea I had bouncing around in my head. He promptly offered up the titled body of his stalled project in trade for a case of beer.



This is to be a budget build, NOT to be confused with a rat rod. I don't plan to paint it, Nothing is going in to it that does not make it go, stop or turn.

Its now sitting on an S10 chassis I picked up from a friend. Front suspension had been rebuilt, and already had drop spindles and coils. In the rear is a 9" ford with a three link and will be getting coils and weight jacks. Up front will be coil overs and SPC upper arms.



Keeping within Budget is a 305 chevy (traded another friend a case of beer) and a TH350. The 305 is getting a Summit house brand cam, dual plane intake and I'm going to build a set of small tube full length headers.



Wheels will be 18 x 9.5 Boss 338's and tires will be somewhere around 285-295's on all four corners.

I'm going for a street fighter / vintage circle track / Road race feel.
