Re: MY build thread...
Ok guys need some opinions. Should I;
A- stick with 6 lug and buy disc or the front end B- swap to 82-84 5 lug cradle and rearend... Don't know the gears yet just know I can get the stuff cheap!!! Second question is how different is the width of the rear compared to a late 64 rear?? Thanks |

Interior is in the process.... I went to a show today and rolled up to it with my first candy paintjob 57 Chevy from a few years ago and the drive went great... We get there and park and it's hot but we muster through the day. I also painted a diplomat or a guy who's dad died two weeks before today and even though I didn't win anything with my truck... Got sunburned pretty good... But the diplomat (retired cop car) placed in top 25 and the 57 parked next to my junk won best of show!!!! I think I won alittle bit... So excited I had to post.. Thanks to all the people that have watched my build, commented on my posts and helped me through a lot of issues.. Happy fathers day to all the dad's out there.

I think they would look good but don't know without seeing on the truck...
|
Re: MY build thread...
Nice trailer. Tough call on the wheels. I've seen those on the '99-02 GMC/Chevy fullsize, & they looked good on them. Maybe you could get somebody to do a photoshop pic.

Well went and had a little fun a few weeks back and ran my truck at the drag strip. Right out of the box ran a 9.41 spinning like crazy 1/8 mile pass. I was happy to say the least. Now I'm looking at possibly putting some M/T drag radials on the rear and a bigger stall... 255-60-15 bfg and 3k stall with 700r4/3.73 rearend and traction I'm hopping to break the 8's and not my rear end..

Re: MY build thread...

Well got new wheels for the truck and went to a small show and started noticing some strange noise.... Got back home and let it cool off and low and behold #5 intake rocker isn't moving as far as it should. Not sure if the cam or lifter or both went south.... It's been in the motor since 04 and was in another motor new in 02.

Re: MY build thread...
got any side pics of the truck with the new rims/ and what size tires you running with them

Re: MY build thread...
So far my truck has met every challange I've thrown at it. Street the first few years, then raced last year and now turning back to the street cruiser... Going to start looking into an LS swap for more drivability for the wife to take over the rains on this one!!
|
Re: MY build thread...
Sigh. If you could only find a nice red to paint it.
Otherwise, that's a dang fine looking truck. Dave. |
