My new love 79 arrow

[Uneek98]

My new juiced 79 plymouth arrow. I didn't build it but will be updating a few things on it soon

[BradMph]

A nice hood scoop be neat, cover that engine from the weather and make it look nicer. I'm sort of surprized they cut a hole in hood like that.

[Uneek98]

Yea I'm gonna see if I can get motor dropped a couple inches.

[DroppedMitsu]

Nice find, looks like a cool little truck. How's the work look on it

[camoit]

That was a major body drop.. You can see how high the seats are. They should have built a new frame to do it the right way.

[Uneek98]

Yea the. 6" body drop was done pretty good. The frame doesn't touch ground so I'm trying to decide if I wanna finish it by dooring it. Not actual door but I'll have a 1/4" plate to protect doors. The hydro setup was done with quality parts but not done properly. Don't get me wrong it works but no slowdowns the accumulators are hooked up wrong. So I just need to finesse the work a little. I'm gonna add a few small touches and decide on some wheels and wala. Those seats are getting taken out btw and probably going into my wife's 73 omega (nova)

[Uneek98]

I've never owned a first gen. I was born in 79 which is one of reasons I purchased. Also knowing the arrow is hard to find. I'm used to second gens. I've had 4 or 5 now but never a first gen so I'll have some questions for you guys coming soon. I haven't had a chance to dig into truck I'm otr all the time.

clean truck, not digging the motor through the hood like that. The original bucket seats would fit fine with that body drop.

I'm not really digging the motor either so I'm gonna drop it sometime. I don't have the original seats or any of the dash. I only have dash cluster. If anyone has pics of original dash and how many pieces it is that would help me. I have some civic seats I think I'm gonna modify to work

[bobbyk]

I love the way old trucks look on the ground.

[OG Arrow]

The Truck Looks Awesome man ! But I have an affection for First gens.
Really don't mind the engine out, it's a look, as long as the hood cut is nice and shaped around the engine.
What gets Me is those Huge Mirrors ! Those need to go ! LOL
(and the seats)
And what size wheels are on there right now ???

And Post up a few more pix ! Different angles, what's in the bed etc.

Looks Awesome Slammed.

[Uneek98]

Those are some big ass 14" wheels. Lmao. Yea I'm actually torn on the mirrors. I may or may not keep them. The engine is going down sometime not sure when tho. The wheels are getting changed too.

[OG Arrow]

LOL, Serioulsy ,,, you still have the 14's on there ? With the Kewl Hubcaps ? LOL

[Uneek98]

Lol yep. Gonna test fit some escalades when I get home. Probably get some black chevy 17s

[OG Arrow]

Yeah, that's always the first thing I notice, is the 5 lugs. Wrong. LOL But I Wish !
It would be SOOO much easier to find some kewl wheels if these lil guys were 5 lug.

I'm currently shopping for some new wheels myself, but need to know what the maximum width I can go is,
before throwing down the cash.
I keep wondering will some Chevy 18X8" fit and work, because I have a line on some
Chevy Colorado Extreme wheels, like I photoshopped in my Gallery.
I think they look Awesome, but I don't want to buy them until I KNOW they will fit.

[Uneek98]

18x8 will fit if you don't tuck. If they are gonna tuck any them I'd say 18x7 is max

[DroppedMitsu]

Width alone doesn't decide whether rims will tuck, it is both Offset and rim width that decide that.

[Uneek98]

Still involves width dork. Did you read what you wrote?

[340D]

I have a D-50 the same color..

[Uneek98]

Nice. I'm gonna be painting mine sunset orange.

[DroppedMitsu]

Still involves width dork. Did you read what you wrote?

Did YOU read what I wrote, I accidently left out"alone" in the first part, in the second part I said it is both offset AND width. dork...

[Uneek98]

Yea I did read what you wrote and yes you left out alone so accident or not your statement didn't make sense.

[DroppedMitsu]

lol ok.... if you say so

[Uneek98]

Your right I accidentally left out "just sayn". Lol

[Uneek98]

Was just messin with you droppedmitsu

[Uneek98]

Hey does anyone know if the first gen frame need a Z to lay frame like second gen or no? Also has anyone reversed a body drop? I think I'm gonna redo the bodydrop to be less bodied then what it is now.

[pennyman1]

yes the 1st gen needs a z to lay flat, its the same frame as the 2nd gen.You could make spacers to lift the body like a 4wd truck, but that only solves the height of the exterior of the body, doesn't fix the interior issues

[Uneek98]

Yea I may just cut out part of the ledge of the bodydrop and re-weld. My other option was to leave it the way it is and rebuild/beef up rockers. Also need to build bridge for rear hydros and I'm gonna 2 link it.

[Uneek98]

Should have my new future shift knob in the mail today.

[Uneek98]

[noahwins]

Never seen a stance like that.

[bobbyk]

Looking good. I think it looks great laying hard. Do you still wanna undo the body drop?

[BradMph]

I noticed your profile shows that you own an 87 truck, but this is a 1st gen in the photo. That must be weird to get out of and the ground is so close. You have any problems using the drive up ATM or bank teller window? :lmao:

[Uneek98]

No. Think I'm gonna plate the rockers and custom build a cowl hood and custom fiberglass some seats.

I own an 87 I'm building and this 79. It is weirder then you think cause I drive a semi for a living. Never tried the drive thrus yet lol

[Uneek98]

Thanks bradmph for turning photo. Lol

[Uneek98]

Does anyone know if a 5 speed from a g54b will fit on a g52b?
