Re: "One really slow build" thread
Nice job on the throttle cable bracket. I have a extra new return spring to replace that old rusty one I see on that beautiful looking motor, I would be more than happy to let you have and I'll even pay for the shipping. On a more serious note, your project is looking good and will be waiting to see the finished version. Keep on Truckin

Re: "One really slow build" thread
Thanks for the comps
I like the tri-bars a lot, I put some brighter bulbs in (90 low / 100 high) that have a little blue tint to em But when the lights are on they don't shine blue My drivers side headlight bucket is messed up, or the wrong one because it tilts the headlight over to one side Oh and shootfirst, I'm good on the spring I'll prolly be getting a new one and a Lokar cable |

Re: "One really slow build" thread
Well I've been driving it around quite a bit since I got er on the road & I really like it except it's geared too low (or something)
I thought it had 3:08's but I must be wrong I have 29" tires, a 400 trans & I'm run'n 2600 RPM's at 60 MPH We have a 93 3/4 ton with a blown up 6.5 td / NV-4500 (as far as I know, thats what the trans is) So I may put that in my truck fairly soon It's just my luck that I get it on the road & want / need to change something So I'm gonna check & see what gears I have when I go to the shop again |

Re: "One really slow build" thread
2600 at 60 isnt that bad and i think thats what mine runs with 3.07 and th350
trucks lookin good though, cant wait for the sound clip, and you need to finish painting that hood pink and itll look better

Re: "One really slow build" thread
This is what it looks like now
![]() The pink was marker paint for the ground, & didn't look that good up close Well I still am going to have to do something different, to get better mileage I like to cruise, but only when I want to It'd be nice to go 70 without killing the wallet Last edited by Spray-Bomb; 06-05-2007 at 10:31 AM. |

Re: "One really slow build" thread
truck looks good...on the windsheild wiper holes for the foriegn trucks,,,would a wiper mtor from a car work to get them to work that way...wasnt there a buick or pontiac, from the 80's or 90's that had the wipers working like that..
and are your cherry bombs louder than the long round ones.. i like that tool tray you built...i need something like that, im always dropping tools down the front... great project. billy

Re: "One really slow build" thread
Ok, I've backed off the wanting to switch trannys for a while
But I need to rebuild my front end, so while I'm at it I'm gonna bag the truck ![]() I was hang'n out with my uncle today & we went to a salvage yard, there was this totaled Dodge Neon ricer thingy that I looked in just to see if the was a stereo left in it (one busted 10" sub) Anywho, I get to the back of it & what do I see ??? A chrome 3 gal. tank & 4 solenoids ![]() ![]() The sad thing is that this kid put a but-load of money into his ricer so that comp. was prolly an expensive one, Oh well ![]() I think at first I'm not gonna run a compressor, just to get it going Re-6's in front & Re-7's out back, home made notch & reverse lower A-arm cups & buy the upper plate and bags from Suicide Doors I'm so freak'n excited ![]() |

Re: "One really slow build" thread
These are the valves I got
eBay link http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/AIR-R...spagenameZWDVW ![]() Is anyone on here running them ??? Are they any good ??? Unfortunately he didn't use the valve manifold that came with em, so the install won't be quite as nice as it would be with it ![]() Last edited by Spray-Bomb; 06-11-2007 at 01:43 AM. |
