Project 67 Pics. Finished (kinda) - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

72MARIO · 07-24-2005, 08:59 PM

Here are some pics. I still need the carpet when it arrives, a few bolts in the box floor and a bit of wet sanding and polishing. Black seat belts would be perfered nut not easy to find. I am runnning hedman chevelle shortys PN68600 1 5/8" primary into 3" exhaust over the stock tranny crossmember into Super 40's. It's tucked above the frame rails. Northwest Auto Fab motor mounts are a must. They move the motor to the 6 cyl position. Battery is on the frame behind the pass side cab coroner. it's a 355 and a 700R. Awesome setup. Tires are 8" rallys with 275/60's and the front are 7" van rallys with 255 60's I think the fronts are too wide they scrub the pavement. Full lock turns are omost impossible. I need to change them to a narrower tire. No frame or inner fender rubbing at all. Seat is from a 98 with the headrest removed and recovered in leather.

If you have anyother questions feel free to ask I would love to help you out.

thats phat yo,you are right,does need some black belts,but that whole black and white theme kinda takes ya back to the fifties

72MARIO · 07-24-2005, 09:09 PM

O and it's not that Orange. Torch Red is the Colour.
The seat is form a 98 chevy. Super Comfy. I have had it on the road a week have 1000 miles and only 1 speeding ticket. I guess that's oky.

cops. I was going down a hill dialing in my adj porp valve and he got me.

jamis · 07-24-2005, 09:09 PM

looking sweet Mario. Thats the first I have seen of the seat. What did it come out of, the back looks really comfyyyy.
I like the rallies ......no matter what your bozo neighbor said.

Cop magnet Red...as you've already found out

I'm surprised they didn't just say "hey nice truck...slow down" true A-Holes I guess.

It's all good though cause you've got a great truck there...Looks good

thecatseye66 · 07-25-2005, 11:37 AM

I've seen your avatar pic for a while and the pics of the bed in a "Wood bed question" thread, but it is cool to see better pictures of the whole truck. You have one sweet ride there, Mario. Good work!!
