Long time lurker following a few threads

[mopar5150]

Hey Guys,
I hopped on the forum after being a long time lurker so I can follow a few great builds. The 70 RR on LX conversion is my favorite.

Don't own a B-body at this time but have built many and love the cars.

Currently putting a 6.1l and LX suspension under my '55 dodge pickup.

Thanks,
John

Thanks for the warm welcome guys!
Here are some photos when the '55 was in "pro-street" mode before the latest teardown. I am in process of a turning it into pro-touring project using a 6.1L Hemi and LX/LC suspension and brakes.

I will post some current photos of the build when I get home tonight.

Nice truck. I also have a truck to go along with my project Mopar Charger. However, my truck is a Chevy and it's still in original condition. Sorry folks, can't pass up a chance to brag on my old truck!! ld_school:

That is a beautiful truck camtra.. I love the grill. Here are a few photos of the frame mods so far for the LC rear, modified RMS k-frame and LC brakes.

When I finish my 69 Charger I think my next project will be to resto-mod an older truck just like you did. Is that the original frame that you made mods to or is that a different frame? Most of the Chevy folk take a frame off an S-10 and go from there.

That is the factory frame that I boxed and modified some 18 years ago. It has a fabbed front stub using RMS front suspension parts added later and the rear mods are the latest work.
