Re: hotrod-c10
 

heyXxCHEVYMANxX the powerband on the cam is 4200-7200 .hope it hangs together for a while. i haven't done anything to the cab yet except strip all the parts off it . ill get started on it after i get motor fired ad few other things .drive shaft;front shocks rear brakes etc..probably after new year..dang another year:metal:

Re: hotrod-c10
 

hey moggey01 .i was gonna move motor back cause the waterpump pulley is close to radiator and not much room for fan .but i didn't know if my dist. would hit fire-wall or not so i put it back where it was. called griffin cause thats the radiator brand i got and they had a shroud and fans combo that would work and went with it...my wheel base has been shortened to around 105"..boyd welding a vendor on this site built the fuel tank it holds a little over 13 gallons. i just sent them a drawing of what i wanted and it turned out just exact . do you have a build thread started? i would like to see your truck..thanks for looking..johnny

Re: hotrod-c10
 

thank's valhalla .thanks for checkin it out.. ive been looking a your build..dang that thing is gonna be sweet.keep it up ..jw

Re: hotrod-c10
 

You have to post a video of that BAD BOY running for us to hear..... JUST SAYIN'. Looks awesome you do nice work.

Re: hotrod-c10
 

No build started yet. I started on a Suburban project 3 years ago. I have been laid off 3 times since. Things are great now so I switched to a short fleetside with the Porterbuilts extreme coil over set up. Now I am getting everying together and the truck should in the fab shop at the end of the year. Im using all stock location chassis parts just in case there is a rule for that somewhere. I have a 565"motor with nitrous,super unleaded R and D deal I guess. I used to be involved in NHRAs Pro Stock Truck class so the is why I decided to go with a truck instead of a car.

Re: hotrod-c10

Re: hotrod-c10
 

thanks for the nice comments guys . i got my camcorder and made a video and went to best-buy to get a cable so i could transfer it to my computer. and the guy said he didn't have anything that would work . said my camcorder was a dinosaur made in (2000) so i give up on that for now. tore down the whisky still so i can put cab on frame. when i get it all back together ill make another one ...johnny
