Re: New Project truck!!
 

Found a dash and steering column from a 97 truck. Also got a set of power leather seats from a 95 truck. They will need recovered so I plan on doing some Katzkins on them. I still need some door panels and a few odds and ends.

Re: New Project truck!!
 

Every time I look at this thread, the only word that comes to mind is SEXY! I feel like a junkie waiting on my fix (meaning more progress). Don't feel bad though my progress is ALOT slower than yours.:lol:

Re: New Project truck!!
 

Yeah I try not to think of the $$ I have put into this already!!

Re: New Project truck!!
 

You are you sick insane man! I love it! WOW
good work! Do you ever slow down?
The wheels were a great choice!
And that garage, man ....

Re: New Project truck!!
 

Thanks for the comments. I have alot left to do!!

Re: New Project truck!!
 

Awsome buildup so far man. I'm very anxious to see the finish product! You make me feel like I'm working slow :(

Re: New Project truck!!
 

Man your coming along great. I had a 83 truck that I took down to the frame. Things didnt go as smooth as I had hoped with a few suspension parts. 2 Yrs in I decided I had enough. I sold off every part little by little. I bought the 92 and got to work. I learned alot on the first attempt. I decided I would set a reasonable plan and bust ass to get my goals done for the summer. I made those goals, now all I need is some $$ and a new set of goals!!

Re: New Project truck!!
 

Worked on the truck a little tonight. Got the dash out so I could get all the A/C and heat parts out. I am going to clean up the firewall so these must go. I also got my master cylinder mocked into place for the TKO tranny.

Re: New Project truck!!
 

I worked on the engine some also getting the heads bolted up and the timing chain cover. Also set the oil pump as well.

Re: New Project truck!!
 

Wow! Your attacking that project!

Re: New Project truck!!
 

Lookin great man. How much do you have in the stuff for the TKO?

Re: New Project truck!!
 

By the time it is set up and complete it will be right at $2900.

Re: New Project truck!!
 

thanks.

I'm tossing around the idea of either TKO or T56 in my caprice wagon.

Re: New Project truck!!
 

I think the T-56 is rated at 450 ft lb torque. the Tko will hold 600.

Re: New Project truck!!
 

An awesome looking truck man. A real inspiration for all of us here.

Re: New Project truck!!
 

Thanks for the comments man!! Stick around you will love it here!!

Re: New Project truck!!
 

All I can say is WOW!!! I can only imagine the time you have spent on that. I wish I had a nice project like that. I am truely envious. Keep up the good work.

Re: New Project truck!!
 

Honestly the money has far out weighed the time. Thanks for the comments.

Re: New Project truck!!
 

Ordered a new polished weiand water pump. Also got some shiney stuff for the front of the engine from Billet Specialties.

Re: New Project truck!!

Re: New Project truck!!
 

That truck is really sick man..Have my rear setup in the same manner only i used a narrowed 9''..awesome work..

Re: New Project truck!!
 

Post a few pics when you can!!

Re: New Project truck!!
 

Ordered the parts I need to finish the TKO 600 tranny. Got the MCLeod bellhousing and there Hydraulic throwout bearing. Also got the McLeod street twin clutch and pressure plate setup. It is supposed to hold up to 1000 hp.

Re: New Project truck!!
 

Lets hope that youll have enough power to at some point break it and have to upgrade.:lol:

Re: New Project truck!!
 

That would be nice but a little over the top I guess. Just wanted a stout unit that I know will hold some abuse.

Re: New Project truck!!
 

nice job on the truck man, keep the updates coming

Re: New Project truck!!

Re: New Project truck!!
 

Had a friend paint my engine today. Here are a few pics.

Re: New Project truck!!
 

All I know to say is WOW!!
Very nice everything!!!
You have good taste in rocker arms.....those are the best.
I have never been able to break one.
They better be good too as they are $360 for a small block.

The only thing I kept thinking when I saw both of those rear setups is the word "gussets".
Maybe I have too much time welding up steel for Nuke plants but I do think a few gussets make it look all the more pro.

Re: New Project truck!!
 

On my setup we actually with a few added braces. I went thru the plate frame with the crossmember and ran pipe at a angle at the front of them. Should hold great!!

Re: New Project truck!!
 

i have to say that time was well spent reading this thread, amazing truck
