Re: Post Your 60-63 Body Style Chevy/GMC Trucks
 

Well its got:

347ci LS1
Forged roatating assembley
Ported factory heads
243/250 @ .050 cam
Thise passes had an LS6 intake with a factory smoothed and ported TB
Had a factory mechanical water pump
Underdrive crank pulley
Manual steering box
Power brakes

4L80E trans
4,900rpm converter
3.73
30" x 14.50 ET Street (going through the traps in second gear with the converter locked aprox 7,100rpm)

Being all steel, the truck weighed in a 3,840 with me in the seat and 1/2 tank of gas.

The front suspension is stock minus the springs and shocks. According to Moroso, I was running a spring that would not work for the weight of my truck. But, according to the leverage ratio and my unsprung weight, I found it to be ummm, perfect :) Shocks were a Comp Engineering 3-way, but even on the 70/30 setting, there was still a little too much stored energy in the front. I have switched to a Rancho 9,000x.

The rear again is stock other than an adjustable lower control arm braket I made that allows you to move the mounting location, I think there are 5 holes. Also a Classic performance lowering spring, blocks and again a Comp 3-way shock.

Since that outing I have:

Switched to a single plain with a dominator throttle body
Removed the factory bench seat for a set of light weight buckets (50lbs)
Build a new front crossmember that retains the factory control arms (25lbs, but the intake/N20 plate and TB made up the difference)
Cutting off the 30-40lb tow hith I once welded on it
Putting a factory weight tailgate on it (had an extrat junk gate so I added about 100lbs to it)
Just received a 1 piece glass front end (75 lbs vs te 240 the factory stuff weighs)
Put a 4.56 gear in it
Put an electric water pump on it
Pray every night it goes 11.40-11.50 NA in the 1/4 and low 10's on the jug...

Re: Post Your 60-63 Body Style Chevy/GMC Trucks
 

The problem I have with that is you are not garuanteed the coin. I have a lot of money in my junk even though it still looks like junk, I'd hate to have to buy things a second time around. Cool to watch though..

Re: Post Your 60-63 Body Style Chevy/GMC Trucks

Oh Yes!!!!!!
He has a 350/350 combination under the hood. He also has a 58 Chevy I think. Anyhoot, I hope he checks the site out. I'm thinking about starting a 60-66 Body Style Chevy/GMC Trucks Club here locally. We will see. I'm so busy with work and have very little time. Be nice to have these trucks at local cruisins.....

Beautiful.... I hope mine turns out 1/2 of that....

Re: Post Your 60-63 Body Style Chevy/GMC Trucks
 

That's a nice truck!!
Judging from the 1st few pics of it, it looks like the cowl hood doesn't interfere with the wipers' operation. Is this the case? And do they hit the cowl when raising or lowering the hood? The reason I ask is that I'm considering putting wipers back on my truck, but was concerned that the cowl hood might cause some interference problems.
Thanks in advance...

Re: Post Your 60-63 Body Style Chevy/GMC Trucks
 

My bad. If I had read above the pics, I would have caught the part about this truck not being yours. Well, if anyone knows answers to my questions, I'd really appreciate it.
Thanks again...

Re: Post Your 60-63 Body Style Chevy/GMC Trucks
 

Hey Bud,
There is plenty of clearance from the cowl hood. I have one, and a lot of fellas on here do as well. My cowl hood is a 6" cowl. When you raise the hood up it comes foward a little. I can take a pic tomorrow.
