| I built the frame. Putting a car body on a truck frame is an easy way to build a hack job.
I built everything but the front 4 ft of frame. The front 4 ft is Chevy luv becuase I originally used a luv diesel driveline. But it didn't take long to realize I wanted solid axles and more power so I put Dana 44s in and a 3.8 Buick v6. 5:13 gears with front and rear lockers and 35 inch tires | |

| Here is the link to all the photos I took over the years. Excuse some of the poor qaulity, they are 35mm scanned to the computer. https://smg.photobucket.com/user/4x4chevette/library/1986%20CS%20Chevette%204x4PAGE 8 THE QUALITY GETS BETTER. I started this build when I was 16 years old with the help of my dad. 2003ish took about 6 months for the first built. Then i stripped it down and went bigger. Sold it 90% finished in 2005. Found it on craiglist for sale in 2012. I bought it back. it had not been "finished" and was in worst shape. Knowing more now than I did in 2005. I pulled the driveline and upgraded again. Last August i rolled the car with no roll cage. So I pulled the body and the running gear is sitting out back under a tarp waiting until i find another donor. | |

The axles from it are going under my jeep right now | |
