Well what started as changing the oilpan gasket turned in to a complete make over. You know how it goes one thing lead to another so I pulled the motor out repainted it and added new alum. valve covers & breather / alum. pulleys/ alum. water pump/ alum. timing chain cover/ EDEL. intake w/the PEMASTAR finish/ alum. air cleaner/ new harmonic balancer/ alum.water neck/ new chrome alt./ powdercoated all the brackets black/ new Dynomax ceramic coated headers/ all ARP s/s hardware.. What do you think?

What Brand name and model is your steering wheel? I have been thinking about a wood Le Carra wheel but am not sure but I do like how yours looks in your truck.

WHYBYNU · 03-26-2005, 02:00 PM

ALREADY GONE: the steering wheel is a GRANT collector edtion part # GRT1130. I've had for 7 years and have very happy with it.

As far as wifes go mine bought most of the parts for me for x-mas and my b-day, but she has never been sick of anything than more than this damn truck in her life , but I GUESS SHE LOVES HER MAN......

I think I will buy you a plane ticket to Texas if you want to come help me change my oil pan gasket.

Great job.

**tnblazerk5** · 03-24-2005, 01:52 PM

that looks really good and thats a good lookin truck too !!!!!!!!!

krue · 03-24-2005, 02:34 PM

Looks good! One thing leads to another don't it!

chevyboy55 · 03-24-2005, 06:10 PM

If this is what happens when you change a pan gasket I can't wait until you rebuild the motor. What happens when you wash it?

busterwivell · 03-24-2005, 06:21 PM

Makes me wish my oilpan gasket was leaking.

silvertonguedevil · 03-24-2005, 08:27 PM

Wow! Looks awesome! Nice lookin' ride too!

Huck · 03-24-2005, 08:34 PM

Remind me to stay away from my oil pan gasket!!!!

Gary · 03-24-2005, 09:37 PM

Nice very very nice. Now what happens if you have like a really bad issue you gotta fix? Buy a new truck?

haha rock on!

1STtimePRo'71 · 03-24-2005, 10:21 PM

Wow, looks great!

**1970 CST Short Wide** · 03-25-2005, 10:50 AM

Man I like that truck. VERY NICE

70 shorty · 03-25-2005, 01:34 PM

that's one helluva oil pan gasket job. Damn nice looking truck BTW. I'b buy you a plane ticket too, but all you'd have to do is set out to change the oil, I'd be curious to see how far you went with that.

busterwivell · 03-25-2005, 01:46 PM

Did you get the leak stopped?

Striker169 · 03-25-2005, 01:55 PM

wow thats amazing

Brainchild · 03-25-2005, 02:13 PM

It's amazing how much stuff has to come off just to get that darn pan off

Looks great.Aluminum is a nice touch IMO.

*dtlilly* · 03-25-2005, 02:43 PM

The original question was: Why does this happen?

The answer: Because your addicted. Now suck it up, take another dose, and... don't it fell better to be in a support group that shares your addiction?

12 step my @ss, I wanna build these trucks!!!

**Yukon Jack** · 03-25-2005, 02:50 PM

Looks great. I know how you feel. My latest project started as a small block to big block swap and has ended with the truck being completely torn apart, painted and put back together. And I was one of those who said I would never, ever do something like that!

*72CSTC5* · 03-25-2005, 03:35 PM

That's okay. From the looks of your truck, it deserved it.

WHYBYNU · 03-26-2005, 01:24 AM

Thanks for the kind words. It was fun too go all out on the motor, I debated for awhile on it and I'm very happy with results! I've had this truck for alittle over 12 years and do not regret any of the time and money spent on it at all. Now I've got to figure out whats next on the list maybe new brakes will lead to a 3.5"/5" drop......

Thanks
John

**FRENCHBLUE72** · 03-26-2005, 10:45 AM

I have always liked that truck keep up the great work on keeping her beautiful.... Damn nice truck..
