81 Crew Cab Build

[Zackdes]

Hello everyone!

I'm new to this forum but not new to first gens, I'm a few months into my crew cab build so I though I should start a build thread before I forget.

Here's what the final goal is with this truck:
81 Crew cab with a 8' flat/sled deck
Custom cab and chassis frame
12 valve ve studded
He351vgt over a ht3b
Nv5600
Dana 80 dually disc brakes
Dana 60 front
Full control arm and bag set up

Already have most of the parts gathered up but I'm interested in seeing everyone's opinions on the set up.

I'm going to try to post the build from when I started in chronological order.

Here what it looked like when I bought it.

More to come...

Welcome to the TDR, I like where your going with this idea, but Im curious why use a the HE 351VGT? I had a standard HE351 on mine and it didnt work the best, snail was to small made the EGT's to hot
