Hey Leon nice build! If it's not too much trouble could you get some better pics of your hydro clutch setup? Like where you mounted your master cyl and your pivot point on clutch pedal arm... Whenever! Still got lots of other things to wrap up just could use your professional opinion :metal:

Re: Dirty Dianah (No)... Bagged 72 Stepside/LSx/T56
 

Hey buddy! Sure thing!
Would video help?

Doesn't need to be video! I just can't quite tell the placement of things in your "ipad pics" :)

Ok, let me see what I can do with my good camera

Update
 

OK.

I have driven the truck about 100 miles. It is ridiculously torquey. It spins tires in 1st gear. 2nd gear. 3rd gear. Wow! And at 85 mph in 6th gear, it still has enough torque to pull the entire trip without downshifting. I have to look at my RPMS again to see what it is running at. Just amazing. Dragonwrecker - I publicly thank you again! We are a great team - and you did some amazing fab work!

I am having a BLAST! I love this truck! It was worth the 6 months of build time.

It has come to a dead stop because I have to pay $530 for a set of Doug Thorley headers because they are the only ones that will clear the CPP engine perches and I can't afford them atm so my build is on hold.

Re: Dirty Dianah (No)... Bagged 72 Stepside/LSx/T56
 

Have you considered the BBk headers? They look to be about the same dimensions as the DT headers...

Great videos.
Please tell me you are going to install a 67-68 core support.
You gotta get those headlights back in position.
They detract from all the hard work you have done.
( my opinion)

Assuming you can put the power to the ground :lol:
You will need as wide of a rim and street slick as you can fit on it.
Also a hot cam (LS3) and a small shot of nitrous wouldn't hurt either.

Re: Dirty Dianah (No)... Bagged 72 Stepside/LSx/T56
 

looking at the videos makes me think it will need a LSD as well!

One wheel peel!!:burnout:

Re: Dirty Dianah (No)... Bagged 72 Stepside/LSx/T56
 

I will be putting them in position for sure Lolife. Thanks!

Besides that, LSD, 10" rear wheels and tires among other things. This is just me having fun. It's not done, but I'm having fun driving it

Semper fi, Leon. Great thread, both you and Walter.

I, too, found a friend in the start of my build. I could do body work but the learning curve would be a race to the grave, so I found a board member and took the chance. Dang if he didn't do a great job and turned out to be a friend.

You also just solved a problem. I was thinking a LS1 + T-56 might not fit under a 65 tunnel, but looking at your first cab/low hump fit, I'm pretty sure it will.

Keep posting progress.

Dave.

Re: Dirty Dianah (No)... Bagged 72 Stepside/LSx/T56
 

Wow! Thanks Dave! I wish you all the best. Let me tell you this is one of my favorite things about this build....everything you mentioned. And a blast to drive!

Im subed so will deff be staying tuned in to what else you have going on.

Re: Dirty Dianah (No)... Bagged 72 Stepside/LSx/T56
 

Not too long after seeing Leon's truck in an O'Reilly's parking lot when I was driving my own '72, my own truck needed an engine swap - I'm going with a 4.8, but I'll definitely have to review this thread for some tips I can use!

(Another weird coincidence - I didn't realize you were also into BMWs. My usual driver is a '97 328.)

Re: Dirty Dianah (No)... Bagged 72 Stepside/LSx/T56
 

I just read this whole thread and i must say...well done my friend, awesome truck, awesome build!
