Re: Project Tornado: A Natural Disaster
Love the use of the bedside on the upper 'gate' and the wheel/tire/cap combo. What's that hangin off the plate?

Re: Project Tornado: A Natural Disaster
Man, I have seen a few pictures of this truck scattered around this site, but never had any idea what it was. This is the first I have seen this thread, and just spent a little while reading through the build. Very kool build, and very nice work. Simply an amazing truck.

Re: Project Tornado: A Natural Disaster
The thing hanging of the plate is an aluminum cast car club plaque. It hangs from chains so when it hits things (and it hits A LOT) it just swings out the way, haha.

Re: Project Tornado: A Natural Disaster
I see what your saying,it does look a bit "heavy",a 60-61 grill would lighten it up alot
ha ha like it needs less weight up front Don't throw that GMC one away though,wink wink lol I've seen a couple around here but they're just beat I'll keep my eyes peeled T

Re: Project Tornado: A Natural Disaster
an idea I had once was to use a big truck grille, and section it down to fit in the small truck opening...you would have to take an inch or so off the bottom to get it to fit...

Re: Project Tornado: A Natural Disaster
Haha, have no fear of me getting rid of the GMC one, I actually bought it originally for my dad's 66 GMC, then decided to just forget telling him that's what it was for... Lol.
As for a big truck grille, I've seen TONS of them, but none I can picture looking as good as a 60-61 grille. It'd be sweet to have something else strange and Kustom, but at the same time it's hard to improve on a good looking stock grille.

Re: Project Tornado: A Natural Disaster
I really like that chopped C60 grille! What's involved in cutting it down and mounting it? Those are a dime a dozen in this part of the world.

Re: Project Tornado: A Natural Disaster
looks like just cut out an inch or so horizontal, and then put some c10 headlight bucket/mounting brackets on it.

for the mounting you can use the brakets of an old grill , screw the brackets to the grill support panel and weld the grill in place! Pat

Re: Project Tornado: A Natural Disaster
A few pictures I never posted apparently. A couple showing the interior and one showing my new Holley 770 street avenger. At the moment the truck gets 14mpg and runs a 13.8 in the 1/4. That's right out of the box only setting the idle. The best the Edelbrock Performer 800 ever did was 8mpg and 14.5 in the 1/4, and I had swapped jets and rods numerours times to do that good.

Re: Project Tornado: A Natural Disaster
Thats pretty cool, there is a guy down the road here running a 39ish chevy 1/2 ton with a 455 olds in the front and another one in the rear with the transaxles. The truck is insane and smokes all 4 tires down the quarter mile the entire way.
