alright, mu base start was an old 83 pickup sitting in a pasture somewhere an old biker sold me. i bought an engine off a fellow community member here who told me of this forum. thanks B.Y.E. had i known beforehand i would have done a more comprehensive build thread. but i will just start from here. stripped all drivetrain parts out besides diff and got to work. has full ignition system supplied via petronix ignitor in a celica points distributor signaling an msd 6 al. used an electric fuel pump from a nissan 720 mounted inline underneath the truck near the tank. i'll take pics of that soon too. i have it sittin on 17 in 09 mustang wheels and am in desperate need of an exhaust system as soon as funding arises. a paint job is on the horizon eventually too. interior is crrently junk but its a work in progress so eh. for now i'll shut up till i think of more but here are some pics. thanks everyone.

 

Truck looks good. Whats your future plans for it, by this i mean, whats the overall goal for it?

Keep up the good work.

 

well i plan on straightening all the dings dents etc. rhino liner the bed and interior floor. then debating a good paintjob or staying rugged. i just really have been enjoying it. i am thinkina 2.5 in exhaust the whole way back and then a decent flow but kinda quiet muffler. still debating header design i want. all and all i am pleased so far. no lowering because it is at a fantastic height for my best friend who is in a wheelchair which is what initially drove me to mini truckin. coupe like characteristics with ample storage.

 

Looks good bro! So weird looking at the motor... It's like dejavu!

 

Good choice on the battery, same one i have and its never let me down like other batterys have

 

Optmally you'd want a 2.25" exhaust.
I'm currently running a magnaflow 2.25" muffler, it enters offset and exits offset. With a gutted cat, the setup is going to be louder than factory, but is a very deep toned ( from my pov). So if you feel like going that way, there's an option for you. I feel that the magnaflow likes to filter out the higher tones, even though it's a straight through design. A fellow member has. Resonator in his setup, said it helps alot with the sound.
