my BEAST is finally on all 4 tires
its a 1948 chevy 1 ton school bus, based on a panel truck. its rolling on a stretched s10 frame w/a 9inch rearend. the power plant is going to be a 1977 425/400turbo caddy combo. right now w/o the power plant & floor in it it sits about 8 inches in the front & 11 inches in the rear off the ground, which believe or not means this truck has been dropped a total of 20 inches so far from the stock height and i'm sure it will drop just a tad more wants its all together. i am going to build a seat that will fold down into the floor like in the late model burbs back seat just incase someone "HAS" to ride with us, along w/a trunk in the rear floor to hide my BIGG ass ugly spare tire, a longggggggg mileage fuel cell can we say 50 gallon saddle tank & of course we can forget the "tunes". i have a 4 channel output yamaha stereo that will have 4 100watt amps hooked up to it running through boston acoustics speakers. hell all i know is the last time i heard that stereo play, it was in our 40 chevy playing Pink Floyds "Dark Side of the Moon" (the tape is still in the stereo too) & it was turned up just about all the way. hell yea nothing better then listening to mind altering, heavy duty rock n roll while having fun driving your street rod.....yeeeeeeeee haaaaaaaaaaa. soooo hopefully it will awaken sometime this summer for its first ride in over 33yrs......joeDonate Blood,Plasma,Platelets & sign your DONORS CARD & SAVE a LIFE
