My truck finally got some much needed sun yesterday it's been over a year since it had been out of the garage it is slowly getting there with the help of fellow board member BIGJAKE97 we have been working on my truck on and off and finally after breaking the fuel regulator last week UPS dropped me off a new one along with some -An fittings early yesterday morning. I was lucky dude left them on my porch because I never heard the door bell I was sleeping as I work grave shift ok ok enough with the jibber jabber here are some pictures and a short video of me fireing it up.. Yes the bed is darker as it has not been painted yet don't laugh It's not done yet ok.....Hopefully we will have the driver side fender on today

OK here we go not the best of pictures but I did manage to take them today Before I took it for a ride around the block

The fuel lines I am moving them later they look tight but the are not, I just put them back the way they were when I bought the truck....
I took it out down the street and wow I wish someone was there to record me as I Put my foot down This is going to be fun to drive

My Altanator belt Rubbed on the fans or something and shreeded... I got my days worth of fun though

72BlckButy · 07-07-2009, 09:09 PM

Great looking truck Petey, that thing is beautiful!

From you avy I read that you are running a 4.5/4 drop on your truck, is this correct? I know it'd a redundant question, but it looked a little high to me.

landsurvey1 · 07-07-2009, 09:17 PM

When you started your truck and I heard that rumble and fire come out of the exhaust, I thought, NASCAR truck series. Too cool!

Camper Power · 07-07-2009, 10:29 PM

we need some pics/specs of the that 454.

FIRE!!!!!

prostreetC-10 · 07-07-2009, 10:37 PM

I'm just wondering if you are leaving the exhaust that way. It's gotta be loud in the cab!

It's hard to tell but is the bed a different color or is it just the shadow? That is a super cool green!

I am leaving the exhaust this way for now due to low on funds but I will change it later.I just put on these summit Turbo mufflers to quiet it down because it was too Loud with straight Headders I have QTP Electric cut Out's in the garage waiting also that I will be putting on when I get the exhaust done the way I want.

Haha The bed is a different green alittle darker PO had painted it before, I am too Broke to get the Bed painted at this time....
Thanks Guys I will take some more pictures of the motor tomorrow when I get a chance or if I find any I will post them up...

prostreetC-10 · 07-08-2009, 08:43 AM

Yes....fundage sometimes requires us to do things in "steps"! That front half is a nice green.

JohnC · 07-08-2009, 08:59 AM

Truck looks amazing man! Sounds awesome too.

I have no Idea if it will it was rubbing enough to take the paint off the Lid when I bought the truck... But then again the Motor was sitting on I6 Motor mounts and alittle closer to the fire wall, we will have to wait and see....But then again WHO NEEDS A HOOD

I am just happy to have it almost complete....

tcb-1 · 07-09-2009, 06:44 AM
