Re: Making Progress
Looks sweet! I love the blue and the way you routed your exhaust. I plan to do the same to my 70. Keep up the good work!!

This was the best way I could think of to put a video on here. It might take me a while to get this figured out. |

Re: Making Progress
Neal, thanks! The motor is a 454 bored .30 over, so I guess it's like a 460.

Re: Making Progress
Is that code 506 "medium blue poly"? It looks killer.

Re: Making Progress
I guess a little history would help. I got this truck about two years ago, and started tearing it apart. I have just started working on this thing hard the past 6 months or so, and feel like I am finally making some head way. It has a ECE 3.5/5 drop using spindle spring drop up front. 4 wheel disc, all new lines. I got lots of ideas from this great site about fuel tanks, so I drew one up on CAD, and proceeded to fab one up. The engine is nothing special just a 460 with a lunatti cam, roller rockers, and a few other goodies. This thing has been at the body shop for 5 months, and everything is in the final primer. Long of the short I can't wait!! Sorry for the long post. Enjoy!

How many gallons is your fuel tank? It looks killer! You use a stock 90-ohm fuel sending unit? In the rear did you replace or just blast and paint the cross member where the driveshaft goes thru? Not sure if I missed something but your exhaust routing is just spot on! Does it go thru that rear cross member? That's how I want to route mine but with a H-pipe 2.5" exhaust pipes (SBC guy here) and exit right at the diff. Your truck looks down right killer! Have mine at body shop for the past 2 years and still in a million pieces! So I am going to go down there and start working on it myself!!

I just had the frame blasted, and put 3 1/2" holes in the cross member. I did away with the carrier bearing, and went with a one piece drive shaft. I think they did a good job on the exhaust it's tucked tight. However I'm going to have it changed because man this thing blows dust all over the place. The exhaust is 2 1/2" as well. Thanks for the kind words. It's been alot of fun, and a lot of work. I can't wait to enjoy it some. |
