New Guy with A new truck
Hi All,
New to the forums and had some great help here with my new purchase of a 1969 c-10 custom with a 393sb with 500+hp that has just left NC to go to the shippers to be put into a container and shipped to Australia  ,it will be my second us muscle car/truck. my first purchase was a 1969 RS/SS 396bb camaro thats had a full resto and engine stroked out to a 496bb with 700hp.  Now just have to work out how to post photos. its sad to see it leave the USA but hey some Hilly |

Re: New Guy with A new truck
Very nice! Do you know the name of the wheels on the truck? I really like those. Are those 18's?

Re: New Guy with A new truck
agreed. very nice rides.
welcome from canada! second that question, how rare or unique would a 69 camaro, or 69 chevy truck be in austrailia? second, maybe a dumb question, but how do you get 393 ci out of a small block?

Re: New Guy with A new truck
I'm not the authority, but if you commit a typo while keying-in the numbers 3, 8 and 3, substituting a 9 for the 8, you can create a 393. Then, again, maybe it's a combination of parts that we're not familiar with.
Are you gonna convert it to right-hand drive? I know the cowl has stanchions that allow for a RHD-operated vehicle to have the wipers repositioned. Just because I'm one who likes something a touch different, I'd sure like to see the linkage for the wipers on a RHD to see what might be different. Nice ridez. The Camaro is nice, where ever one lives.
