Nice ´wheeling!
Judging from that vid, I think you should put the lockers at the top of your priority list,,,, then some gearing,,, then some flex,,, and on and on and on! :D
Keep it coming!

So essentially you're building up a different car? ie. body and chassis is different to the car pictured :?

Mark.

If you're going to put a soft top body and LWB chassis on it why not just buy a LWB rag top to start with?

Or buy one now and swap the engine.

I Just brought this car for the motor and a bit of fun.
I am just waiting to pick the LWB chassis up. I already have the soft top body and have already cut it down. the lockers are sitting next to the body ready for the new chassis.
all I need is the time to put it together after I get the chassis next week end.(Hopefully) :D

What was involved in fitting the 5k + box to the sierra?
Did the motor come standard F/I?

The engine was already in the car when I brought it.
but the transfer hasn't been moved back, although the jack shaft is basicly 2 uni's welded together.
engine mounts are forward a bit.
it fits in the hole nicely
