Since I have 3 of these 454 ss kits I decided to build one as a mild street truck. Then I decided to take the interior and chrome bumpers/grille from the snap '96 dually and make this one a '96 regular cab short box. I cut the interior tub from the dually and spliced in the back wall from the '90 interior to make it fit the reg cab. Then I flipped the front spindles to lower the front end and I modified the mounting points with brass tubing to fit the Pegasus wheels.

I'm going to leave all stock other then the wheels and the lowered suspension. I just want a nice clean street truck.

Well here is a long over due update on this truck. I painted it shortly after the last post. Paint went bad so I pulled out a second kit and painted that one. That also went down hill so I got discouraged and put it away.

Well now I decided to get it back out and open it all up. Hinges are finished and now it needs door jambs.

Great project, I have one that I'll build sometime in the near future (I hope :) ) but is a long bed and I need a short bed to resemble a '96 C-1500 I used to drive some years ago (I miss my truck :( ), and I need to make or find a dash to...I'll keep an eye on this build!
