70 c10 project - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

skymangs · 06-13-2018, 10:51 AM

This is a 58k pickup with some serious rocker rust. it does have a 4 bolt main high compression 70 small journal 350 though. so I had the motor pulled and a high performance rebuild done on it. it currently has the biggest cam avalible that is still semi-streetable and a noisy gear drive. I had the rockers/floor braces/partial floors/cab corners repaired. I have a 650 road demon, 700-R4, and blacked out grill surround/grill/headlights, front disk conversion, brake booster, lowering springs, and cool billet aluminum dash and glove box on it. it's been striped by Ripley's Old Skool of Olatha, KS. I have an under bed gas tank and a behind the tail light fill just waiting to go on.

skymangs · 06-13-2018, 10:56 AM

skymangs · 06-13-2018, 11:05 AM

skymangs · 06-13-2018, 11:26 AM

**Ol Blue K20** · 06-13-2018, 12:41 PM

Looks great

skymangs · 06-13-2018, 03:56 PM

thanks, it's been a hellova ride! since I can't work on em' any more, Mike my customizer/mechanic does all the wrenching.

RedRider · 06-13-2018, 05:34 PM

Loooove that color, and excellent metal work.

**raggedjim** · 06-22-2018, 12:31 PM

Nice work. It's amazing how all of these trucks rust in exactly the same areas!

skymangs · 06-22-2018, 05:59 PM

yup, now I'm eyeballing a set of Riddler 18's.

skymangs · 01-26-2020, 08:02 AM

So I had some things done to the old girl: I had a billet aluminum dash and giove box door done. I had a beefed up 700R4 in with a deep pan, 4.5/5” drop, 5 lug conversion, disk brakes in the front, converted to power brakes, and the 18” Riddlers.

skymangs · 01-26-2020, 03:20 PM

Here’s what it looked like lowered

skymangs · 01-26-2020, 03:34 PM

Then I had a 71-72 grill shell powder coated. Bought a black billet 72 grill, and moved this turn signals behind the grill. Put LED turn signals on the core support.

skymangs · 01-26-2020, 03:37 PM

moe

siggyfreud · 07-30-2020, 08:42 PM

Looking good! Are you switching over to an electric fuel pump as well for the TPI setup?

skymangs · 07-31-2020, 10:26 AM

Have to, TPI requires 45~50 PSI

Yep, just didn't see you mention it and saw that it was just a few months ago that you all put the Edelbrock pump in, so was curious

.

**1971Stepside** · 07-31-2020, 10:36 AM

Interesting. I've never seen one of these taken apart. Thanks for sharing.

skymangs · 07-31-2020, 02:22 PM

Sure any specific pictures you want just let me know

skymangs · 08-05-2020, 06:28 PM

Lower intake cleared up, painted, and installed

siggyfreud · 08-05-2020, 06:36 PM

Do you have a plate for the EGR blockoff, or going to block it another way?

skymangs · 08-05-2020, 06:42 PM

Are you referring to the port in the middle of the manifold? I was gonna have Michael make a block off plate.

Yup. I bought a manifold once where the previous owner just caked it with silicone, so was going to recommend a plate of some kind instead

skymangs · 08-05-2020, 07:23 PM

He’ll make a plate of 1/8” steel
