Re: ''Project '64 SYT Super Yenko Truck"
 

Insurance , registration, and maintenance on two vehicles could easily outweigh the gas savings. Not to mention admitting you like the ferd. :lol:

If you are interested in fuel economy there are some different options to increase that and still have a hot-rod. I have been looking at some electric motors that go inline between the tranny and rear end. They augment the motor in normal driving, and they can add a lot of torque. Some of these are being used in drag racing.

Here is an example http://www.sigmaautomotive.com/elect...trocharger.php

Re: ''Project '64 SYT Super Yenko Truck"

Re: ''Project '64 SYT Super Yenko Truck"
 

Because this is a freakin Chevy truck site. Because they suck. Because they're ugly. Because I like Chevy vs. Ferd wars. Because I feel like it. Because I can't stand them. Because I'm not supposed to have to read about them on this site................ Should I go on?

:ito:

Re: ''Project '64 SYT Super Yenko Truck"

Re: ''Project '64 SYT Super Yenko Truck"
 

We all need a running truck to tow our Chevys home with every now and then !!

I have owned several Ford trucks, and if you want to work your truck...you buy a Ford...Chevy trucks just are not able to handle being worked hard, I have killed alot of Chevys over the years, late 80s and early 90s even a few late 90s, they just don't last...transmissions are the weak link...

Still love my old 62 Chevy but its not much of a truck...more lika a car..I mean really coil spring trucks?? what were they thinking?

I don't care what model it is if I like it, I love the early Fords F100 and the late 40s-50s Chevys, I even like the old Dodge trucks(very few)

I suppose there will always be the Chevy VS Ford debates...but really it is kinda stupid, both Companys have made sone really shi* trucks and cars over the years ..lol

Re: ''Project '64 SYT Super Yenko Truck"
 

good for you..................

but this is a Chevy site and your statement is very hypocritical...... my 2 cents.:ito:

Re: ''Project '64 SYT Super Yenko Truck"
 

Sounds good !!!!!

Re: ''Project '64 SYT Super Yenko Truck"
 

thanks but it would sound better if i had a 750 proform on it :D

Re: ''Project '64 SYT Super Yenko Truck"
 

What mods do you have to your engine ???????

Re: ''Project '64 SYT Super Yenko Truck"
 

not enough to put a 750 on it

Re: ''Project '64 SYT Super Yenko Truck"
 

ok.. well.. lemmie first say gage... never forget your age..
you need to remember opinions form with time..
this is called experience..

an opion without experience is what?...
ignorance...

please dont be a ignorant "kid" and listen understand, and you have full right ot disagree with "opinions" but do in fact do it repectfully...

if "perf" or jason or fette or longhorn, kevin.. anyone MORE EXPERIENCED then myself... is to say "mitchell yer an idiot.. or hey dude do this instead".. no matter what my experience is i do in fact take it into consideration...
it doe in fact save you time money and a **** ton of heartache..


just my two cents..
dotn be a punk kid like the rest of your/our generation... it' snot productive

Re: ''Project '64 SYT Super Yenko Truck"
 

that was NOT meant as a personal slam.. just a bit of advice, and opinion ive fromed from some of your commentary lately

Re: ''Project '64 SYT Super Yenko Truck"
 

ok what did i do know

Re: ''Project '64 SYT Super Yenko Truck"
 

=-)

Re: ''Project '64 SYT Super Yenko Truck"
 

Let me just say that gage and I have a little bantering going on all the time. It's fun. Sometimes he calls me Lord Vader.


Now, I'll respond to your comments because I disagree with them somewhat. I have 2 Fords. You'll find them in my signature. They're vans. I like the design and I've used the same shelf setup from one to another and this is mainly because Ford ran this model for 14 years. Saves me from having to make a conversion. That's where it ends for me. I've never found a ford truck that will carry the payload of a chevy and we've put alot of them to use over the years. I've been in the construction business now for roughly 25 years dating back to working for my old man

As for the transmissions, it's all a matter of proper maintenance. For some reason fords will go longer without being flushed and having fresh filters and fluid. However, if you do this even occasionally with a chevy transmission it will go just as long. As for the TH400, there isn't a stronger transmission as far as I'm concerned. My '72 still has the factory tranny in it.

As for suspension are you implying that coil sprung is bad? Because that's one thing I love about the old Chevys is the coil springs and trailing arms. I worked my first '72 Chevy like it was a 1 ton and I even had shingles piled up higher than the cab of the truck once and still didn't bottom it out. Combine that with the fact that it made the trucks handle like a beast and how can you go wrong? The trailing arms work like ladder bars too. In fact, if you go to your local Nascar race and go look under a ford race car it will have the GM trailing arm and coil spring suspension.

Both of my GMC's are leaf sprung including the '72 but they won't carry what my coil sprung 72 cheyenne did. I also can't get the same traction that I did with the trailing arm suspension.

http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y14...72%20GMC/8.jpg

As for my current work truck, it's a '90 GMC. It will be a long time before I get another one but it will definitely be another GM truck.

As for the Ford, Chevy wars, they will always be fun but I'm here because I'm a GM truck fan. Besides, Fords are ugly.................... :ito:

Re: ''Project '64 SYT Super Yenko Truck"
 

Ahh snap. Gage I'll sell you my 750 Holley for $300, ever had gas in it.

Re: ''Project '64 SYT Super Yenko Truck"
 

I would put a 650 on it......It would have better throttle response than the 750.

Re: ''Project '64 SYT Super Yenko Truck"
 

well im going to try to convince my dad to buy me a 670 street avenger


and for the trailing arms i dont see a leaf spring ford running low 9s on stock suspension like kevin (djracer)
so i agree on that part
but i like my ford i guess because it was free and looks halfway decent

Re: ''Project '64 SYT Super Yenko Truck"
 

Yeah, nothing wrong with that except I'm going to give you grief for talking about it in here. :lol:

Re: ''Project '64 SYT Super Yenko Truck"
 

hey how do you change the heater core in a 2000 f150 :D

Re: ''Project '64 SYT Super Yenko Truck"
 

Well it takes a torch, a sledge hammer, and a 12 guage shotgun.

Re: ''Project '64 SYT Super Yenko Truck"
 

:haha:
i dont have a shotgun or a torch though

Re: ''Project '64 SYT Super Yenko Truck"
 

sledge hammer will do it all, just take a few minutes more........ If I was closer, I'd love to help.............

I'm just sayin................

Re: ''Project '64 SYT Super Yenko Truck"
 

You can use my shotgun!

Re: ''Project '64 SYT Super Yenko Truck"
