I got an award at the Fort Worth Rod & Custom Show - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Rreemo · 03-03-2009, 07:17 PM

I really didn't expect to win anything b/c we just cleaned the thing up and parked it inside....no real display, signs, carpet to park it on, or anything like that. However, I still managed to get a 3rd place award in my class....and there were about a dozen or so in my class.

The lighting was terrible for pictures.

67_C-30 · 03-03-2009, 08:35 PM

Awesome truck! I'm sure you've answered this a 100 times on here, but what is your drop and wheel and tire combo? It looks really good!

Rreemo · 03-04-2009, 12:56 AM

Thanks for all the nice comments guys! It does feel good to be recognized...I thought it was funny how many judges came by over the weekend to talk to me about it, and most of them asked the same question....does it get driven often? I intentionally left all the dead bugs in the AC condensor to prove that point!

Drop is CPP 5/7. with adjustable track bar. Wheels are 18x8 (255/45) and 20x9.5 (295/45)....no rubbing what-so-ever....of course except for the headers on occasion.

Sorry no build thread, but general stats are mild 454 with a 2004R OD Trans, 4.10 rear, Vintage AC, 71-72 Discs on front, Suburban drums out back, black interior with buddy buckets (center jump seat), factory tach gauge cluster, van tilt column, Cheyenne door panels, new chrome, emblems, mirrors, etc. It's a little peppy with the BBC, but mostly just a good cruiser. It is the factory color, but with the base/clear looks a couple shades darker in certain light, and also had white two-tone originally, which I'm contemplating redoing the top.
