Hey guys and gals, relatively new to the site, picked up a '79 eariler this year and i'm buildin' a street tracker. Actually bought the bike from Robert at Omar's, he's only a few miles from me. the motor was siezed but he sold me a running '74 for it.

DUDE! You should have shown me those rear shocks, we could have made the front legs have some maching to match.

Those rear shocks are straight up awesome!

Goin' to the powder coaters to pick up the frame and a bunch of other parts today, pics after I steal my camera back from my son.:D
 
Damn! Nice looking wheels! Definitely going to have to follow this build.. That fork brace looks awesome.
 
Wow.....this looks great, man!!

It´s always nice to see some really serious guys building a ride.

The Husqvarna is the pride and joy of Sweden.....or at least it was:laugh:

yeah, originally built in Sweden, mine was built in Italy when MV Agusta owned it, now it's owned by BMW. Stay tuned
 
Damn that truck is clean! Where are you from? That would be completely falling apart from rust if it were in the midwest.
 
Oh man, what a beauty! I have a soft spot for Toyota Trucks. And that generation is my favorite with a 22RE swap, 5 speed and A/C :thumbsup: .

had this since new, bought it March '79, she's 32 years old this month! And it CAME with a/c, along with every other option available back then (p/s, tilt wheel, tinted glass, etc). Way back when I swapped the 20R for a 22R and dropped in a 5 speed.
