Re: my 65 fleetside build
Finally finished, WOW!!! Love all the pics but the one at the strip with that drivers side tire just barely touching the ground.....spectacular! Fantastic job!! I hope mine comes out a fraction as nice as yours. I personally never liked red but brother you ROCK it in style! Thanks for sharing your build, I totally enjoyed it. I too am looking forward to the burnout video :metal: :metal: Keep on spinnin and grinning :metal:

Merry Christmas bud!
I hope that you have a happy new-year too! Currently, I am figuring out what life is like to be without electricity in 20-some degree weather for the past 3 days... The power company says that it should be back on by December 25th @ 11:30pm...Nice! |
Re: my 65 fleetside build
same to you Flip. I went back through your entire thread the other day to get some inspiration.

Re: my 65 fleetside build

Bet Santa wishes he had a red sled with as much horse power as your truck. |

Re: my 65 fleetside build
a little up-date on the red truck for bomp. the new motor is another 406, started with a virgin 4 bolt main 400, bored it 30, studded the mains, fresh scat 4340 crank, 6 inch 4340 scat I beam rods, keith black icon forged pistons, lunati solid roller 626 lift cam comp cams valve springs, retainers and locks, comp ultra gold roller rockers, same 215 dart angle plug pro 1 heads and victor junior intake, 750 demon worked by stealth racing and msd ignition. added a aeromotive ss fuel system for the cheater nitrous kit and so far only made 2 nitrous passes, neither of which was a hit off the line, I di try on my last pass and it didn't turn out very well, broke the u joint and rear yoke off the rear end. it went a 7.55 first pass and a 7.41 on the second I believe there is a 7.20 in it if I can hit it dead out of the hole. with this combo the truck has actually slowed down a little but its because I went to a tci converter that's only stalling 2200 on the foot brake where the other acc was stalling 3800 on the foot brake. anyway there are some pictures on the web at. brainerd optomist drag strip bryd photography 5-23-2014 test and tune. it shows one of the carnage, I have installed a 1350 yoke and a new 3 1/2 drive shaft with 1350 u joints, cant wait till I get to go back. oh yeah nitrous shot is a 150 for now. I am wanting to put it on a chassis dyno and see what kinda numbers its making.

Re: my 65 fleetside build
Thanks Flips
One nasty set up there. |
Re: my 65 fleetside build
Sounds like the new engine should be a strong runner. Sorry to hear about the differential carnage. It sounds like you're going to give the 12 bolt another chance before going with a 9 inch?
If you have a few minutes would you mind posting your engine build info in this thread I started? http://www.67-72chevytrucks.com/vboa...d.php?t=612016 |
Re: my 65 fleetside build
WOW! Great build :metal: I just saw the thread and went through the whole thing and it's great. I used a new 9" in my 67 nova and have nothing but problems (whining gears) out of it. It seems that the aftermarket gears are cut different than the older Ford gears. I have had Heidt's, Johns 9" factory, DTS and Strange set up center sections with new gears for me. They all whine! I will be building a 8.8 or a Dana 60 for the Nova and maybe one for the 65 C10. Good luck and don't forget a driveshaft loop on that very nice truck.

Re: my 65 fleetside build
great to hear you got the motor built, to bad about braking stuff! but atleast it didn't cause a lot more damage, an glad you got that fixed too!!
