Almost done. Need to nar row rear and install better axles, install larger stall. get 1 piece drive shaft installed, etc...button up some stuff. Just driving her around now breaking her in, checking temps and such, looking for leaks. Been to 2 shows over past 3 weeks. Won Truck Best of Show, Best Engine x 2, Best Custom Truck...and Exhaust Wars for Loudest Exhaust..lol. Just wanted to show her off a little..

congrats! How much do you think the local constabulary will harass you? My guess is a lot. But I'm guessing you could always outrun em.

Wow! Dennis, that looks great. I can't wait to see it in person. Were are you going to put all those trophies?
I knew you must be busy since I hadn't heard from you.

How low a compression are you running in that 383 to be able to run that blower?

I love your Bumper Guards. No one would think of getting close to your truck. It looks Mid Evil. And that's no joke!

I've ridden in it when it was just a 383 stroker, and it would smoke the tires then, I can't wait to get down to see Dennis and ride in it now. VV

i have a similar set up i am building here in the united kingdom. did you the v8 mounts of the straight 6 mounts? how much clearence do you have to the radiator? a photo would be great, and if possible a photp of the way you have piped up the fuel system to the carbs

best wishes adrian.

midniteblues · 08-07-2016, 01:44 PM

That's sweet truck hardway.

Glad too see those little filters in there so you don't suck up pterodactyl or small planes and chew them up and fart them out the exhaust.

There is a fella I know down below reading here that has a 69 swb set up the same way he built a sweet alum. bed cover for his too cover up the narrowed rear end and cut bed floor. He incorporated a nascar style spoiler built into the bed cover I loved the way he did that.
Last I saw it the truck was all blacked out but I think he got it painted by now.

I used aftermarket CPP Mounts..great fitment. I used my mechanical fan. Had to use a 2" fan spacer to clear blower pulley. Have a large rad too. I used fwd facing edelbrock carbs. made a bracket for my regulator. I'll get a pic.
