My truck is a 1989 isuzu. It's powered by a 350 chevy V8 with a turbo 350 tranny. When i bought it it was a basket case. I've never seen that much bailing wire and speaker wire holding stuff together. I cut all the inner sheet metal and core support out from the firewall foreward and used round tubing to frame it in. It's a lot cleaner now. I then bought some suburban wheels and put some low pros on it for now.

After driving it a couple weeks i got bored and decided to bag it. But I like to fabricate so I designed and made all my bag mounts and my entire 2-link setup.

WOW awesome job so far. I like how your doing all the work yourself thats the best way to do it. I live in kansas too we should get together sometime. Check out my new ride and my car club. My cub is throwing a car show June 10th you and your friends should come. Also you wouldnt happen to know anyone who has a mazda pickup for sale would you? A buddy of mine has been lookin forever for one. Anyways keep me updated and keep up the modding.
