Many Express vans had Dana rear ends. Proceed with caution.

What issue exactly does this impose? Forgive my ignorance.

I got the frame all painted from the cab back, other than a few touch ups... I brushed on what I could, then went back and hit the rest with a rattle can, it's good enough for this old truck. I also started painting the engine bay, I'm going to have to crawl in there to finish the rest, but it's not looking too horrible. I need to strip a few more thinks out of the engine bay, and get it painted too. What doesn't get painted tomorrow will have to wait a week or so, the high temps are only going to be in the teens.

I ordered a set of drop hangers/shackles off ebay, $115 shipped. I need to order a set of 350 frame mounts, when I change those out I'm going to go ahead and drop the front of the truck 2 inches via cut springs.

TRUCK: $500

Rally Wheels: $100

Wheel Paint/Supply: $7 For paint - $5 for primer. Total $12 Total

Car wash + purple power $15ish.

Ebay LS Swap Mounts - $65

Ebay Lowering Shackles/hangers - $115

5.3/computer/harness $650

Amazon Lug nut set (pretty) $15 bucks

$28 bucks for paint/supply for the frame.

Gauges (I would of sold the mustang parts I traded for them for $30 bucks.) Then I sold one of the gauge pillars it came with for $25, so we'll call it $5 bucks for the gauges (I scored on that deal.) I still have one more guage pillar to sell, I'll deduct that when/if I sell it.

$1405 total



- $100 allowance for stock wheels and tires (went on the black truck)

- $250 Sold the original motor and trans

- $25 allowance for starter that I kept for the black truck

- $25 allowance for alternator I kept for the black truck

- $50 allowance bucks for Rear bumper I'm going to use on black truck

- $20 bucks for two scrap batteries it had in the bed

- $470 total

$1405 - $470 = $935 total invested....

If still have some parts off the truck I'm not going to keep (stock cat, a few different, fan, washer fluid tank, etc.) Just little stuff, but It'll add up to be a little bit of a deduction when and if it sales.

I'm not sure, but I remember reading about people thinking that they had gotten a good deal on a 14 bolt rear end, then realized that that wasn't what they had bought...

 

[BruiserCruiser]

Oh, I wasn't planning on grabbing the rear end... I was planning on grabbing the 4l80e.

The gold rims look great! Especially with the green paint. If you want to repaint later I suggest the same pretty green the truck is now.

If I wasn't painting mine with rattle cans I would paint Frank the same color.

The grille/bumper are hideous and need to be thrown away. Send them to my house and I will dispose of them properly for you.

How far are you from Cincinnati ?

How far are you from Cincinnati ?

If you're asking me drewcrew, Like 5 hours each way I guess. Between Akron and Youngstown. About 1/2 hour east of Summit Racing. If I'm driving 45 minutes 'cuz I'm old.

I call it the “race truck” because it makes my youngest son mad “there’s no such thing as a race truck, only a race car!”


Show him a classic NASCAR truck?
