Oh...no loan here, just ordered my own tires @$600 apiece so easy $2,400 plus tax there, but fun, even eating weiner water soup:lol:

Re: How about some pics of 67-72 Part II
 

Sweet truck. I hope I get to see it some time.

Re: How about some pics of 67-72 Part II
 

Still need to finish the cut/buff but really enjoyed driving it this summer.

Long way to go still.

Re: How about some pics of 67-72 Part II
 

I built this in about a year. It started life as a long wheel base. I replaced the frame, purchased a few beds to make one. Then sold the old small block and took it from there. It sports a 6.0L/4L80E combo with shorty headers, dual 2.5" exhaust w/Thrush mufflers. I installed seats from a 2010 D@dge R@m and a Vintage Air system. 18"x9" Rocket Booster Wheels, Nitto 555 265-50-18 tires. CCP sway bars, new brakes, and extra load springs. I drive it to work daily.

Beautifull!!!

Re: How about some pics of 67-72 Part II
 

Stunning.
Love your truck.

Re: How about some pics of 67-72 Part II
 

Wow beautiful!

Re: How about some pics of 67-72 Part II
 

Awesome truck! The picture of it being loaded with mulch almost made me cry though, it's almost too nice to work!

How is your mileage with the 6.0L? What rear gears are you running.

Re: How about some pics of 67-72 Part II
 

I'd put the mulch in it but I would have been sweating bullets until that guy got the loader bucket away from it!

Re: How about some pics of 67-72 Part II
 

What he said /\ /\

Re: How about some pics of 67-72 Part II
 

Thanks for the nice comments! It feels good to actually see and drive my vision.
It has 3:73 gears. It cruises at about 2300 rpm at 75mph.
Fuel economy is horrible, probably 15mpg. I'm working on tuning it with a wide band oxygen sensor to improve my fuel economy. Here is a picture of the engine compartment, before I was finished though..

Re: How about some pics of 67-72 Part II
 

That's good economy for a 6.0L, they're pigs. Hopefully you can get the economy up a bit though. My '46 gets similar mileage, with my carbureted 455 Buick.

Re: How about some pics of 67-72 Part II
 

And not afraid to use it as a truck!! Kool.. looks great.

Re: How about some pics of 67-72 Part II
 

One of "thee" only trucks on here that pretty that can do some work, nice truck, glad you use it, makes it more special.:thumbs:

Re: How about some pics of 67-72 Part II

This is my 71 flatbed. This truck was originally ordered as a cab chasis & the bed was put on @ the dealership. It was originally the service truck for the gulf station in Hickory, NC.

5/4 Drop ;) "BLACK ICE"

Re: How about some pics of 67-72 Part II
 

Very nice

Re: How about some pics of 67-72 Part II
 

I don't think I posted my sons truck after "the drop" here goes. Full Porter Built drop members. Pieced together tanks and compressors. He's saving up for Accuair next. Still has to fab in the hood hinges but I think he likes cruising without the hood for now. Sucks when it rains though. Started out as 250 3 spd truck, then got a 350. Then got a truck 4 spd. Then got a T350. Then got a little warmer 350.
