Project: Hellride. A 1978 J-10

ktm racer 419 · Apr 3, 2011

Here is the new money pit.

To get her on the road as she sits I need to replace the passenger floor, and figure out a fuel tank/cell situation.

She has a Chevy 350, 4 barrel carb of sorts, some mild go fast parts inside. Sm465 and I wanna say a dana20 t-case. All i know is it sounds awesome, goes fast and chicks dig it.

colin-esque pic

lightweight bed for prerunning, note the custom gas tank strap kit

.

plans?

fix the floor, fix the bed, put a fuel cell in it, and drive it.

long term plans?
do a little body work, paint it.

longer term plans?

one tons
sweet tires
bobbed bed

Ha, I would have never guessed there was pavement that ran down that hill. But then again, that place does look foreign now that there isn't 2 feet of snow.

Hmm. That's pretty tempting. But my dad would kill me if I brought another truck home.
I might still give that guy a call though

ktm racer 419 · Apr 4, 2011

i wouldnt mind a parts truck. i just could use a few body/interior pieces though. this truck is very complete. facotry radio is still there and works too

Hackmeister · Apr 4, 2011

i only live about 15 minutes from there, so if you do talk to the guy i might be able to sneak over and take a peek at it / take pics. i only offer because there's no way i can spring for a third project jeep when i'm scrambling to get my 99 finished now
