86 b2000 Drift Truck

they will have alot more rust on them if you ever unwrap them. the wrap traps water and causes them to rust.

yeh....i figured that....but its temporary till i cna get them coated. I got a brand new motor and i didnt want to put ugly used headers on the motor...would look kinda weird. And its not a daily driver either. so it wont be as bad. They are good coated headers...just used and old...a few rust spots fron were the old coating has cracked a little. Its all good for now.

New helmet...not really for the build thread but im bored

just found out today that my new motor is finally done and tranny is ready to go too so i should have that bad boy droped in this weekend if all goes as planned and ill post pics as soon as i take them...probally from the computer at the shop. SO EXCITED!!!!

Ya man take a lot of pics for us

really bad cell phone pics...but there it is..ahhh...nice to finally have it. Got all the little stuff ordered, pulleys and what not...will post more pics as i get it put together

a few pics from today's progress...motor and tranny in...different headers than i was gonna use...but this is what i ended up using.

love your truck dude. Why auto trans and not 5 speed?

every body asks me that...so here's the story...when i started the project ...i had NO money....got the TH350 for like 50 bucks. Couldnt find a decent 5 speed(i wanted a t-5) in my price range. Then i started thinking about it...why do drifters like the manual? mostly so they can kick the clutch to get the tires spining....ive got enought power that i dont need to do that. And to be different i guess(at least in the drifting world). I just started drifting so its not like i gotta get used to something different. I just gotta get used to drifting. It does however have a full lock manual valve body...just had that done. So its kinda like a manual...just no clutch...and if it gets to be that bad i can always switch to a 5 speed later without much trouble.
