Re: My 50 roadster pickup build
Hey guys and gals, been driving the truck alot and enjoying it greatly. Mark and I when to the Mid-American nationals in Springfield this past week-end. I now have 1335 miles since the change. Really love it. I got 20 mpg and Mark got 21 mpg. Running 70 mph most of the time with the air on. Here's a few pics at the fairgrounds.
Pics 3,4-5 are of an Erskine, never heard or seen one before, story is it was build by Studerbarker, but named the Erskine in 1927 thru 1929. It wasn't selling to good because of the name, so in 1930 it's name was changed to Studerbarker. Next group pics 3&4 are of a Model A, he was just up from were we parked. It is going to SEMA. Next group pic 1 is a Jag, pic 2 62 chevy (had one in 1965) Pics 3,4-5 are of a super nice pickup. Enjoy this pics...Jim

Re: My 50 roadster pickup build
after 1335 miles, how would you rate the LS vs the SBC?

Re: My 50 roadster pickup build
That's right, if you don't drive them what's the point. Glad to hear you are loving the swap.

Tempest I had a good SBC, but the LS is a completely different feel. Runs smoother, lot quicker throttle responce, just an all around better truck. So glad I made the change...Jim Bob, thanks. All my rides that I've built are driven, they may look nice, but driving them is what it's all about. Yes bad things can happen (remember the deer), but that's part of it, fix and hit the road...Jim

Re: My 50 roadster pickup build
thanks for the feedback. It's good to hear it from someone who has experienced the swap on the same vehicle.
Enjoy

Re: My 50 roadster pickup build
Ya I remember your deer. At least you are not driving a super rare one of a kind multi million dollar vehicle, take it out for a little drive and smoke a deer.

Re: My 50 roadster pickup build
Well time to do some begging again. This months TOTM is for green trucks, so I threw mine in the pile (again maybe 7 agains). So if you don't like any of the others, toss me you vote. Thanks in advance...Jim
