Project N2Deep
 

As in too deep to stop now!

My 72 project has been on hold for awhile so I figured that if I started a build thread it might motivate me!

Current Mods:

Devious Customs 3-link
ART Strong Arms
Firestone bags (F/R)
Shaved drip rails, Door handles, locks, cowl, cab pinch welds, cab seam line, dash and firewall
One-piece windows
Custom wheel wells (f) and hinges
67 front clip
All body gaps reworked (1/4")
CPP cross drilled brakes (F/R)
CPP drop spindles
Eaton posi
Intro Vista 20x8 (f) 22x10 (r) wheels
Edelbrock 430hp polished crate motor
Bowtie overdrives stage II 700R4

I figure I'm about half way done

I want to get the bed back on and have it tubbed
and install the drivetrain.

This weekend I installed the bumper on the 72 and bagged the front of my 55 Belair with Art Shockwaves, ART tubular control arms and drop spindles.

More to come!!!

Re: Project N2Deep
 

Your project looks great!! How close to the rear fender lip are your tires?

Re: Project N2Deep

Re: Project N2Deep
 

Nice little collection of toys!!

Are you happy with the Hopsters on your 55?......they look damn good. What are the sizes and got some pix of the 55?

I've been kicking around getting a set for my 72.

Re: Project N2Deep
 

I like the wheels but will change to some 19x7 & 20x10 Intro wheels after I bag the rear. Some more pics of the 55!

Re: Project N2Deep
 

do you plan on painting 2deep black also? niice 55, but why no A/C, looks hot where you live

Re: Project N2Deep

[QUOTE=randomhero472;2230469]do you plan on painting 2deep black also? niice 55, but why no A/C, looks hot where you live[/Q

I'm thinking of a 2-tone silver/? on the 72 and a red or black interior. No stereo or A/C in this one. I don't have either in the 55 (just listen to the Big Block with the windows down). I am a MST splicer for At&t, so I'm outside every day and the heat doesn't bother me. Plus I just spent all my money on the new house and the kids want a pool. Long story short-I have to go basic on this truck if I'm ever going to finish it (I wanted to go with a Porter Built dropmember, but at this point I just want to put it together and drive it!)

Re: Project N2Deep
 

raguemoe,like every one else said very nice keep us posted.Danny

Re: Project N2Deep
 

Love all your cars looks good once i am happy with my 71 K5 I will be looking for a shortbed 4x4. looks good keep it up at the rate your going you will be driving it. your GMC is clean.

Re: Project N2Deep
 

No it's not :lol:

Not when you're sitting still in traffic for an hour when it's humid and 98 degrees out and there's no breeze :(

When I lived in NY I never owned a vehicle with A/C, it was only "stupid hot" maybe one week a year. Here is SC, It can be "stupid hot" for like 4 months. :lol: In SC A/C is not only a nice bonus, but a necessity :D

VERY NICE RIDES! I love the '55.

Re: Project N2Deep
 

Nice rides AC or not. If I had thoes rides I wouldn't care about AC. My AC has never worked in my 72 and it never kept me from driving it in Houston in the middle of summer. I love that truck!!

Re: Project N2Deep
 

Yea i drove mine in 120deg heat here in vegas for a few years w/o ac..I hooked everything up but the dryer/accumulator was screwed up.So i tore it all down and it hasnt been on the road since :)... But i'll have working ac when i'm done with the build :)..

Re: Project N2Deep
 

Your truck is looking awesome. I really like the inner fenders! Keep us posted.

Re: Project N2Deep

Re: Project N2Deep

Re: Project N2Deep
 

Wheels on the 55 are 18x7 (f) and 18x10 (r) with Nitto tires.

Re: Project N2Deep
 

raguemoe, where did you get those inner front fenders, did you make them? they are very nice I would like to get some. Danny

Re: Project N2Deep
 

Rag, if you never did anything else to your truck, it would still be one of my top 10!

R

Re: Project N2Deep
 

255/35ZR-20 (f) 285/35ZR22 (r)

Re: Project N2Deep
