Re: LFD's low buck truck build!
If I ever had just a small list of things like that to do, hell it'd take me a year, between trying to get time and money to make those things happen... Your build however is incredibly well thought out, crafted, and custom, and all for a garbage truck... Whatever you wanna tell yourself. Lol

Re: LFD's low buck truck build!
Kevin,
First of all, Low Buck has turned out fricken beautiful. you've done an outstanding job at implimenting many subtle mods that not only work very well together, but make your truck unique. You also have bragging rights to doing it all yourself....talk about talent. You don't seem too afraid of taking on any mod, including paint and body which can turn out to be a nightmare to the typical novice. Another really cool thing is that you've built an exceptional driver with a FI motor, overdrive, AC, cruise control (coming), and even seat warmers!.....WHAT, no navigation system! you've also done a fantastic job of documenting your progress of the build and I'm sure we all look forward to the next. Hope I get the opportunity to see Low Buck this "car show season" and shake your hand.

Re: LFD's low buck truck build!
tripp
I just wanted to put a shout out and a big thank you to a fellow board member Tripp. He took the time to find a set of center caps for my truck and the conversion lugs on E-bay and PM'd the info to me. I don't have an e-bay account set up so I asked if he would not mind bidding on it for me. He did, paid for it and is having it dropped shipped right to my house. We have never meet or done buisness but he was willing to do this for me with out question. So I just want to make sure everyone knows what kind of people we have on this site! Let's keep it this way, we all benifit from it. Thanks again. Quote:

Re: LFD's low buck truck build!
Wow... I started this thread at 8:00 am and couldn't put it down. Finally finished at 3:55 and I've got to say thanks!
The thing I love about what you've done is the subtle, almost stock, look of it. Having read the entire thread I know how much modification went into it and it's not over the top in the slightest. Very tasteful and smart choices. Very close to the perfect truck. I can't wait for the Blazer build!

Ya the Blazer will be one of a kind. It will also be very subtle but very wild at the same time. To bad the build will not be public untill it is ready to be shown ![]() Well the latest on LowBuck is the interior should be ready this week, the rest of my Dyna mat came this week along with my new cruise control. I also ordered new seat belts from ECE that came today and they seem to be very well built. They are the 3pt belts with the center belt as well. Maybe in a few weeks I will have time to install it all. So when all said and done it will be a 70 SWB CST with PB, PS, CC, Tilt, Disk brakes, AC, EFI, AOD, CD and I forget what else! Kevin LFD Inc.

Re: LFD's low buck truck build!
Any new pics or updates. Im excited to see the rims painted a different color sporting the new style centercaps.
Did you ever say whats being done with the frt bumper? Driving lights in the holes or trading for a smooth one?

My next problem I think is going to be a head gasket job because I am getting alot of water out the exhaust. Once I determine if that is the problem I wil pull it down, check everything out and if all is good I wil order the ZZ4 cam kit for it while I am on the inside. That will put me over 420hp with the reprogram from Painless on their high rpm computer I have ![]() Kevin LFD Inc. |

Re: LFD's low buck truck build!
Well we got the seats back today and they look great! I highly recomend Supreme Interiors in Oakland to anyone in or out of the area needing quality work done. So one day when I get the time to put in the rest of my Dyna Mat, run the wires for the heated seats, new carpet then I can put in the seats, door panels, new carpet thresh hold, door speakers and new door and window cranks and call it ready for the road. Well ready for the road pending my water problem with the motor. I have people telling me Flowmasters have been known to colect alot of water but I wil be doing a carbon test this week to rule out the head gaskets I hope.

Re: LFD's low buck truck build!
We have seen lots of condensation build-up in the exhasut on the majority of our LS1 swaps with Flowmaster and Magnaflow mufflers... it can make you paranoid! Do the block test and double-check... but my guess is that it's just normal condensation.
