    Project 82

    ok this is my 82 chevy swb it was my first vehicle so its special to me. im thinking i will do a swap to it of some sorts.

    maybe a 6.0 stoked to a 402 or something or if i could find an ls3 for a good price. i could get it but im thinking a 6.0 an stroking it to a 402 or 408. it needs some work the ride does and i got to build a shop first. or atleast a concrete pad

    anyway here are some pics pay no mind to the crap in the back

    its a good start to a badass ride. I loved my 81 minus the 8 mpg it got with the POS 305

    You should put that rock crawler on zukikrawlers.com. If you think you can finish your project in about a year you don't need concrete. I used 2x4's and 3/4" plywood and made a "pad" for me to work on my truck. Just a lil southern ingenuity!!!

    My boss is all tied up in the rockcrawler scene and knows a ton of people in TX too that he rolls with. I'll mention it to him but yeah, got that on that site and post some pics of it for sure. Good luck w/the sell and the project.
