How Stella got her groove back

Previous thread which shows all of n2billet's hard work and creativity.....
http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...ght=stella+mae

I have an LS1/4l60e in transit that will put new life into her.
Also adding:
Dakota Digital HDX gauges
Vintage Air
Power brakes
New Seat

It will be a month or so before we get started but I'll try to get some progress pics as we go. I can't wait to be able to fly down the highway in this truck!

Re: How Stella got her groove back

I have really liked this truck since Keith did it.

Sounds like good upgrades, so I will be tuning in for your changes.

Re: How Stella got her groove back

Motor and trans showed up today. Looks like we'll get started in about 3 weeks. Still waiting on gauges, motor mounts and CPU.

I have a tilt column that needs work, Kevs Classics is the way to go there, right?

Thanks! That's what I thought but wanted to double check before setting it up.

Very nice upgrades though the old motor sure looked just as pretty since there aren't many left alone anymore. Looking forward to updates

Re: How Stella got her groove back

The old motor is in very nice shape, it just doesn't have the performance I'm looking for unfortunately. It will be a nice motor and trans for someone once it comes out.

Great to see this truck again. One of my favorites. I had planned to text Keith this week to find out where Stella Mae now resides. Can't wait to see the transplant take place. 👍

Re: How Stella got her groove back

that truck is so clean. This will be a great upgrade for it.

Last time I saw it when Keith had it, it had a cool tank set up in the bed. Are you going to keep that and just use an external pump?
