Built my wife her dream EB first so I could take my time getting my truck together… well it’s close! Nothing special - bargain build, if that’s possible.

77 frame (titled as such)
non-77 body - solid, 100% rust free after replacing the front clip (thank you @jimmyk !)
1994 roller 5.0 with Edelbrock intake, truck avenger carb, c4 (rebuild by me with help from @Yeller and others - thank you!)
3.5” SL from Tom’s
4.11 rear and with stock locker; 4.09 in the D44 with a lunchbox locker
home made bumpers with a Warn 8274
seats are out of a prelude….

Feel free to move this to the build threads but I’m not planning to post updates. Just sharing. Happy to have 2 EBs and starting my next horse build in the fall….

Nice! Whats the plan for the FB?
