I just watched your video on your truck. The truck looks amazing and sounds great. I cant wait to see it in person. Guess your done now so you can come help me finish mine,

**Captainfab** · 10-05-2012, 12:07 AM

You've done a very nice job on this truck

I agree...there's nothing 'hillbilly' about it.

a little update on the truck, she went on her maiden voyage to the dragstrip last night, and she done fairly well considering i was on street tires, but a set of slicks are on the way. she went a 7.82 at 85.69 mph 1/8th mile. i was very pleased. hope she will pick up some with a little more traction.

thanks ol_skool_chevy and welcome aboard.

got the pan changed and cleaned it up and drove it to the local cruise in on the courthouse sqare in cleveland, man there was some nice cars and trucks there but i forgot to take a camera and my phone taks terrible pics..sorry.there were 2 other trucks like ours there one was a purple fleetside and the other was a kinda pink with a white top stepside both were nice trucks, lots of camaros and chevelles, oh and there even a ford or two, i think

flips72 · 11-07-2012, 10:22 AM

finally installed the hood with the help of my son, my new wheels came in so we mounted the drag radials and put 235/70s on the front, wish i had went with 275/60s but its too late now, didnt get to go to the track friday but we might be going to steele ala. this weekend and try the 1/4 mile out. you can see i dont have the marker lights in when we took the pics but they are now, seat belts are in and installed the double springs on the carb, should be legal now lol.

zippeay · 11-09-2012, 12:01 AM

Very nice!

chad64chevy · 11-09-2012, 08:20 AM

flips truck looks great, i bet it was fun putting those tires on the back!! you need to show me how you but the tach in the gauge cluster, i'm really thinking of doing that to mine, but a white face tach!!

McMurphy · 11-09-2012, 03:30 PM

Wow Flips, this just keeps getting better and better... I guess "finished" isnt a term that applies to you.

thanks sarge, and i really dont believe there is such a thing as finished, considering a ls swap now and a 9 inch, i got the go fast bug all of a sudden.
