1SIK69 build.... - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

1SIK69 · 02-28-2009, 11:46 AM

Ok I started this a few weeks ago. It is coming along slowly but surely. Between work and waiting on parts and the weather. I have a deadline of 18 March to get it on the road for Tex Mex in Somerville,Tx. Here are some pics of what I have so far.

1SIK69 · 02-28-2009, 11:49 AM

Here is some bad I pulled the windshield and glass yesterday and found some cancer. The area around the bad window is pretty much immaculate. I don't think it is too bad for a 40 year old truck.

1SIK69 · 02-28-2009, 11:50 AM

Here is a pic of some of the stuff that is getting installed soon.

1SIK69 · 02-28-2009, 11:54 AM

Some of my plans are 22's laying rockers. Repaint the motor with all that billet. Smooth firewall. Leather buckets and console. Raise bed floor above notches so I dont have to cut the floor. Calicombo with LEDs in the roll pan. Frenched in tag bucket. Phantom billet grill, tilt hood, 4 inch chop top, Eventually tubular control arms and Z the frame.

man that thing is coming along good

STOCKISH · 02-28-2009, 03:51 PM

Looks good, we are definately going to need more pics.

Spray-Bomb · 02-28-2009, 07:58 PM

Sweet, I like those wheels

1SIK69 · 02-28-2009, 08:08 PM

Well today I got the 5 lug stuff bolted up in the front. When I cut the fender the wheels are gonna tuck nice. I am running drop spindles and cut lowers, I think I still have a lot of travel before the control arms bottom out.

1SIK69 · 02-28-2009, 08:09 PM

Thanks for the comments guys. I am liking those wheels more and more. I may get some 22's like'em.

1SIK69 · 03-01-2009, 10:07 PM

Ok here is what I got done today. Me and my buddy pulled the front end off and yanked out the motor and tranny for some fresh paint and new seals on the tranny. I took some pics without jack stands to see how she was gonna lay out. What do yall think? I know the firewall looks nasty. I am gonna smooth her out before I install the motor and tranny.

nuke1 · 03-02-2009, 02:45 AM

wow, those are some SIK rims you have there, and a pretty fast deadline coming up also. i like the plans for the truck so far, great ride height and bling. I definelty want to see if you get your goal met, i hope you do, just so you can show that ride off.

*1sik52* · 03-02-2009, 03:05 AM

I will be at TexMex. Maybe I will see you there

Hey look for me. Hopefully the 69 will be all flat black and look for our banner with Draggin Ass Customs. Come say whats up or something. My name is Monty btw.

1SIK69 · 03-02-2009, 11:41 PM

Did not do much to it today except started stripping the candy red paint off the motor. Grrrrrrr. I am looking for a Edelbrock intake and carb before I drop the motor back in. I have like less than 3 weeks to finish this damn thing.

LuckyHenriksen · 03-02-2009, 11:45 PM

Looks good. Im glad you want to raise the bed to cover the notches, that looks alot better IMO

Thanks bro. Still trying to figure out how much room I am gonna have for the fuel cell. I don't want it sticking out over the bed rails. I guess I will see when the time comes to put the bed on. I may have to recess the fuel cell in the bed. I hope not though. We will see.

Thanks guys, It is a little over whelming but I start leave tomorrow so I think I can get it done. It will be some some long hours and late nights but I am used to that. I did the same thing last year on an S-10 that I bagged.

1SIK69 · 03-04-2009, 10:27 PM

Ok this is what I have been working on the past few days. Got the motor cleaned up and paint and the tranny got new seals and a new kick down cable. Still gotta get the water pump painted and PS pump and pullies. Another day gone.

my67chevytruck · 03-05-2009, 05:06 PM

keep at it...

1SIK69 · 03-05-2009, 05:57 PM

Got anm Edelbrock intake, carb and some aluminum pullies today. I will post up some pics once I get it all together

STOCKISH · 03-05-2009, 09:00 PM

BIG HEAD · 03-05-2009, 10:41 PM

Are you staying with the stock rear trailing arms?
