"I am REALLY leaning towards selling the camaro setup and just throw together more of a stock truck with a 4/6 drop on the stock swb frame I have , use the 83 to convert it to 5 lug and possibly running truck rallyes that I already have. Its not really what I was wanting to do but it would get me driving in a very short time, with the money in the right places for now! "

I believe that's what I'd do for now, if I were you. Keith, I have a set of 05 Tahoe Z71 wheels if you think you can use them with adapters. Your's for the asking.

Yeah Wynne, I know your right. I will have to see. I am looking for something now so I can keep it and just work on it whenever I can. I am trying to sell off some stuff I know I dont need or have just been collecting dust. I am going to start pulling parts out and see if that will help alittle. I am supposed to have some quicky jobs, a repaint for a freinds sons car and airbrush a reaper on a mustang hood..if those come in soon I will be good.

Thanks Charles, I appreciate it. I let the stock idea go for now but it is my last option. I know what I want, just have to wait.

Thanks guys.

Definately don't sell it Keith! We will all be at a loss if we can't physically see this incredible image you have in your head. I know I can't wait to see it finished, but I can hold off for a while till you get back on your feet.

Is there anything that we might be able to do to help? If you need labor to throw it together, just say the word and I'll schedule some time to come over. If you want to borrow a daily driver for a while, I could loan you Oscar's truck. It's just sitting right now. Let us know, I'm more than willing to help any way I can.
