Fun fact: OEM mags are self cleaning if you go fast enough

Yeah, they are 1.5" cheap ebay spacers. No problem whatsoever.

Had a good weekend in western, Md. Didn't do much cruising but enough to get her dirty.

Picked this one up yesterday for $1000! 1979 W150 Power Wagon. 360 ci, 727 auto. Needs a lot of work, as you would expect from a $1k truck, but it's solid and rust free. Let the wrenching begin!

Nice!

Looks like a hell of a "base" to start off with! I've built quite a few LA engines and torqueflites, feel free to ask questions and keep us updated with progress!

Did you need to cut the studs to use those spacers

Looks to be in overall good shape for her age...

No cutting.
I believe the cutting starts at 1.25" and thinner.

Heck yeah. Nice find!! I will give you 2k for it. Double your money in 24hrs.

 

[Fatbob Frank]

Still a steal at $2k IMO...

Oh sure!
Tread is about equal in front and rear is about 1/4" inside extended fender.

It damages rockers just a bit more than before.
I should really put some mudflaps but the 37s makes that hard.

 

[warwickram]

Awesome thanks.Oh great color by the way
