Well I went & picked up the grill & went to a swap meet while I was there, then when I got back my buddy Scott (49gmc) called me & told me he had bought a 72 burb !!!

So I went & checked out the burb & tomorrow I will be getting yall some pics of it in the daylight

I think I may reserve the custom grill to a later version of the truck, right now I really just want to get em on the road

Awesome progress

[Alvin]

Well if I had all those tools when I was working on mine I might have made some progress too!

nah, probably not

Looks good man, keep the dream alive!

[c10addict]

yeah Baby!

[Spray-Bomb]

Sorry for the lack of updates recently, I have been working on my drag truck Zumo

I have decided to go with a Caddi 500 engine & NV-4500 trans in Killer, so I needed to get a mock up engine & that was the wait
I went to my uncles & picked up this freshly rebuilt (20 years ago) 425 Caddi engine that had sat out side with no carb & the tarp long rotted away, so unfortunately the #7 cylinder was busted do to freezing water in the engine ;(

But here it is stripped down & starting to get mocked up





I will be moving the engine back about 3" from where its at in the pics & moving my firewall back about 4"

[texanidiot25]

What sort of motor mounts are you using?

[Bob 68327]

Sweet !! Cad Power !!!

[nuke1]

looking good matt, that engine looks right at home there, u sure have something for cad power, must be a fetish

[Spray-Bomb]

Not sure on the motor mounts yet, I have to cut out the firewall so I can scoot it back & then I can get closer to figuring out what Ima do for mounts

Yeah I like the Caddi engines pretty well so far, havent run one yet but they sound like they are power houses

[Spray-Bomb]

WOW !!!!

I just realized that I must not have ever posted the pics of my Caddi rear disc set up !!!

[nuke1]

Matt, i think that you should sell me those brackets and springs off of those calipers there, i can not seem to find any up here for my calipers, i do not think that you are gonna need an e-brake any wya, you are just gonna be smoking the tires anyway.

[BIG HEAD]

(spray bomb) is that in spray paint or bug bomb? where are the pictures of the burb? i like what you are doing to the truck, keep it up. buy the way big head is what it is. one of my uncles told me i was born with the same size head i have now, it took my body 30 years to catch up to my head.

He will need them to set the truck into "drift" mode.

Come on Spray-Bomb.... Were lookin for updates!! You said no Zumo till killer was done!

[gcburdic]

YEAH!!!....we need progress on Killer!!!

[Spray-Bomb]

Hey guys sorry for the lack of progress, I been busy getting RBT on the road & working out the bugs on it

Im also working on my bug trying to get it ready for summer

And when dad is home we been working on the shop & trying to clean up around it

Im also at a stand still on deciding what exactly I wanna do to Killer

BIG HEAD The bug is painted with Rustoleum satin black (I think that it would be better with hardener in it, cuz its kinda soft & scratches easy

Right now Im also gearing up to go to TWS (Tulsa Welding School) in May

When I get back & get a job here, Ima start saving up to buy some products from our buddy Porter Built
And I will be building a full custom frame & I will most likely donate my current frame to my dads truck RBT

So I been kinda busy

Naw man, you forgot I already own the best of both worlds... A 67 with Panoramic View option

[c10addict]

Updates????

[Spray-Bomb]

Its sitting outside with a tarp over it

I blew up the trans in my daily driver 90, & pushed Killer out so I could fix my 90

But I swapped the engine also, cuz the stock one was getting worn out & I put in a NV-4500 5-speed in too, & Im having a lot of bugs to work out right now...

[MrBeast]

Damn man, sorry to hear about your DD. Hopefully you get it fixed quick, I am anxious to see how this truck turns out for you.
