Hey Vince send em my way when your done! :lol: my truck needs more work than yours and I need a couple of helpers and they look like what I'm looking for :metal:

Re: SoCal checkin' in
 

See thats why you cant get your truck done, too busy watching the help tear up your truck. :lol:

Re: SoCal checkin' in
 

I saw chatter about a possible little meet up in the Temecula area, is that something still being thought about? I'm gonna be there in the morning getting some breakfast, either Sat or Sun so let me know if there is any plans.

Re: SoCal checkin' in

I did hear about a show this weekend in Orange County.

Re: SoCal checkin' in
 

I've posted this on the other SoCal page, but for those who did not see it, bottom line, im keeping the truck. Thanks for all the support from yous guys. LOL
This is what will be going in there now.

Re: SoCal checkin' in
 

Thats gonna be SWEET!
I put one in my Impala

Re: SoCal checkin' in
 

So with that said, you do know im going to be bugging the heck out of you.
LOL
Overall, how was the install, easy, hard, painful? etc etc

Re: SoCal checkin' in
 

Sorry i missed your reply VDOG i would have given you a set of heads i have 3 sets in my shop.

Re: SoCal checkin' in
 

I appreciate the gester. I figured I was wasting too much time on the 283.
Probably going to be a sale on a short block soon.

Re: SoCal checkin' in
 

Nice!

Re: SoCal checkin' in
 

Thanks bro. It wont be the fuel injection just yet, im going to use an intake and carb for now. Might just use the TPI for my 350 later on. I need my truck right now for stuff around the house.

Re: SoCal checkin' in
 

I would rather try and get the FI up and running if I had the chance.
You do know the intake from the 289 won't fit do you?
Also, that engine has the reverse flow cooling system. Should not be an issue but, you might want to get familiar with that engine's minor details.
That is a great replacement for the 289 if you ask me.;)

Re: SoCal checkin' in
 

It was between this or a TBI 350, so yea its a good fine.
The problem is, I have not been able to use my truck since Oct of last year and I need it for the house projects im trying to finish so I can tear it down and do it right. I have neither the time nor the extra money to get the wire harness for this conversion to work correctly. Im into my truck now almost 600.00 on parts, extras, shop time all because of 4 lose bolts. It was almost sold.

Re: SoCal checkin' in
 

Duarte/Irwindale
Ive got two trucks
67 C20 long bed fleetside and a 68 C20 long bed stepside
Im currently completely taking apart the 68 so that I can shorten the frame and convert it to a 5 lug then im going to order a slew of Porterbuilt products.
I have most of the parts off the 68 that will be for sale...hood/grill in great shape..fenders not so good..some good parts others kinda blah

Re: SoCal checkin' in
 

Your at the right place for advice. That 68 frontend should sell very fast.
Welcome to the board and the SoCal members page.

Re: SoCal checkin' in
 

Thanks VDOG I have been lurking on here for a couple years but just got the trucks in the last couple months.
I need to upgrade my membership so I can start posting parts for sale

Re: SoCal checkin' in
 

Yea mee too. Since im changing my motor I got stuff to get rid of. Also Craigslist will be put to work.

Re: SoCal checkin' in
 

Im just waiting for the pics to upload on Craigslist...need to sell this stuff so I can start buying parts for the build

Re: SoCal checkin' in
 

Santa Barbara/Goleta here! Driving around in 94 K2500 dd now!

Cheers,
Charlie

Re: SoCal checkin' in
 

Welcome to the SoCal Post. You have a great area for a meet. Now some of us (like me) have to get our trucks in road worthy shape. LOL

Re: SoCal checkin' in
 

I hear you on that one, I need to get my 68 swb road worthy but I am enjoying driving my 94! There are a lot of great areas around So Cal, I need to hit up Long Beach swap meet *always need something for the 68*..

Thank you again,
Charlie

Re: SoCal checkin' in
 

Trying to get ready for summer. Or at least the Brothers Truck Show.:metal:

Re: SoCal checkin' in
 

sweet looks about ready to drop in:)

Re: SoCal checkin' in
 

Thanks, as soon as I remove my 283 thats in there now, I can drop it in.
My plan is to fire it up on sunday.

Re: SoCal checkin' in
 

Brothers Truck Show.

Any one going?

Re: SoCal checkin' in
 

Still deciding. Did you get your motor fired up?

Re: SoCal checkin' in

Sinister
I hope to fire it up by Wednesday. I broke the Auto Detent cable or throtle cable when I dropped the engine in. Looking for the right one, not the universal fit.

JOHNORO
I saw the post, I was curious if some of our other members here were going.
If not in my truck, then my car. Rather the truck.

Re: SoCal checkin' in
 

I will be attending the Brothers show but my truck is a long way from attending anything right now

Re: SoCal checkin' in
 

Glad you are able to make it,
If you cant join the caravan in corona
say hello at the entrance so you can park with the group
lookout for our trucks while we wait in line...

Re: SoCal checkin' in
 

VDog you know I'm always there. I go to shows like some people go to church.lol

Re: SoCal checkin' in
 

I hear you. Im trying to drive Bondo Louie, but im missing a few things.
The clamp that holds the pedal rod to the accelerator rod. A breather cap that will fit a later style valve cover. Cottor pin and spring for the gear shift linkage. Other than that everything else is wired up, add water then go.
Something tells me I will finish on Sunday Morning. LOL

Re: SoCal checkin' in
 

Right on VDOG!
Good work!:metal:

Re: SoCal checkin' in
 

Thanks bro. How is your truck coming along?

Re: SoCal checkin' in
 

Hey VDog we need another get together so you can show us your truck. I know it might be too soon (post Brothers show), but how about August or September? How many people up for this?
Dano

Re: SoCal checkin' in
 

LOL!!
Dano you got jokes, its still the same on the outside, the engine is a bit different. No more 283, which will be going on Craigslist.
But im fine with a meet. August or Sept, thats fine with me. Whos going to set it up? Any ideas where?
