That looks great! The contrasting colors look awsome.

I feel like I'm starting to make some progress now. Got tired of waiting for my 22" Coy's so I had them send me a set of 20's. I still need to get my tie rod adapters from porterbuilt so I can put the rack on. I didn't realize I didn't have them until yesterday. My wife keeps asking me when the truck will be done. Please excuse the Ford in the picture, that's my beater I drive to work.

The 20" look great ... although I'd have opted for the staggered 22/20 combo but what the hey.

Can't wait till the cab/bed have been installed.

That looks really good. Your doing a great job shouldn't take to much longer...

**lolife99** · 02-22-2011, 07:10 PM

Looks great!
What's the wheel size, backspacing, and tire size?

I assume those tires are directional?

66ZZ4 · 02-22-2011, 09:28 PM

Wheels are 20 x 8 1/2 with 5.25 backspace. 255/35/20. After looking at the picture looks like I have a couple of the tires backwards. I didn't realize they were directional.

72BlckButy · 02-22-2011, 10:17 PM

Looks killer!

Do you have a target date for it to be rolling down the highway? Would love to see it at some of the Midwest shows this year.

Mad Rods · 02-22-2011, 10:22 PM

That's a damn good looking roller!!!!

Been working on painting the engine and trans. Still waiting for my tie rod adapters. Will post some pics when I get done putting the engine in.

66ZZ4 · 03-09-2011, 07:32 PM

I got the engine and trans in. Still need to hook up a few more things.

Amazing!!!

aggie91 · 03-15-2011, 05:24 PM

that looks really good!! That is almost the same blue that my 65 was years ago. I like the contrast between it and the black.

What headers are those on that engine?

66ZZ4 · 03-15-2011, 06:48 PM

Headers are from Summit Racing. I think they were Patriot Clippster Headers made to fit an early camaro or chevelle. They fit real nice with no clearance problems. I'm having a drive shaft made right now.

Pop's C-10 · 03-15-2011, 07:31 PM

Tha engine & trans look sweet..have you thought of masking off tha finns of tha air cleaner & paint it blue . That would look sweet.

hotrodhomi · 03-15-2011, 08:00 PM

looks really nice. Keep it up.
