I thought I would start a thread to document my build. I picked up a 1966 Wagon a few months back. I actually traded the guy 3 guns for the bronco. I live in South Louisiana near Baton Rouge, and the Bronco was in Texas. Included with the Bronco was an extra Dana 44 w/disc, an extra 9" rear end, a set of beatiful doors, an extra 3 speed and dana 20. These first pics are having it loaded and ready to head south.
The reason for the "Flying Tiger" name for my truck. I am a huge LSU fan and also a lover of WWII fighter planes. Since the "Flying Tigers" were founded by a Louisiana Boy, the name just made sense. Here are my plans. Frame off. 302 Rebuild with nothing to radical. NV3550. 4 Wheel disc. P/S, A/C. The "Flying Tiger" will be painted in an LSU Theme. But I will be using the retro LSU colors which are more of an Antique White and Original EB Chrome Yellow and some purple accent. This will be a slow build for me on account of time and of course funds. My wife told me this would not be done in our garage, so I actually found a guy who sells the large metal storage containers off a lot with an old metal building in the back. The building has no power or water. In exchange for the use of the building, I cut the grass. I am going to rewire the breaker to run the lights off my generator. Well that is my start. I am sure I will be chatting and hopefully meeting many of you on here soon.
