Thanks guys. We have a 93 RCSB (regular cab short bed OBS) eagerly awaiting its time in the shop. The engine is already back from the machine shop ready for assembly. This build, like other builds, has been fun but we're excited to start on a newer, different body style truck. This one will be forced induction.

**Graham57a** · 11-29-2021, 06:10 PM

Beautiful truck! I’d be curious where you land on an asking and sale price. I have a very similar truck that I’m wrapping up and will be on the market about the same time

**sfont66** · 11-29-2021, 08:43 PM

Very nice! Truly a great looking truck. Well done.
I’m curious about the fans, maybe I missed it in a earlier post, what are they? I know you have recommended Spal fans in the past. Just taking a few notes , as I will need to buy a large single fan or perhaps the dual fan set up in the near future.

Thank you!

They are Maradyne Jetstreme dual 12" fans that came with the truck when we bought it. They seem to work well and operate fairly quiet. I have the same size fans on my 68, but they are Spals and are a little louder.

Thanks again for the info

The truck is about to go up for sale. We put new lifters in it but it took a couple months to get them and we've been putting some miles on it to make sure everything is working.

Wow that is a NICE truck! Great work!

**sfont66** · 03-18-2022, 08:19 PM

Truck is looking so good! The body work is so straight, black shows everything, and this truck shows the time and effort you put in, in order to achieve a great result !

TA_C10 · 03-18-2022, 08:27 PM

Nice, been wondering about an update on this. She will sell quick.

**Ol Blue K20** · 03-19-2022, 07:58 AM

Looks fantastic! It'll sell fast.

Thanks guys. We're hoping to sell it for a good amount. We put more work and money into it than we planned, but glad we did and we think it's a nice driver.

**1971Stepside** · 03-21-2022, 09:31 AM

Hitting the market at the right time for sure! Looks great.

Low Elco · 03-23-2022, 10:31 PM

Looks Great!

**MDPotter** · 06-13-2022, 01:23 PM

Well the time has come to put the truck on the market. We've put about 500 miles on the truck since finishing it along with tinting the windows and installing new gauges and it's ready for a new owner.

It will be bittersweet to see it go - it's really fun to drive. The 383 makes a lot of torque and it rides so much nicer than my 68. Not surprising as this truck has drop spindles instead of cut springs, coils instead of leaves, more sidewall, and a cushy bench seat instead of modern buckets.

Looks good man. Exciting to see you finish. Plans to keep doing more trucks?

**Ol Blue K20** · 06-14-2022, 07:13 AM

Sure is pretty, someone is going to get a nice truck.

Too many trucks, not enough time. We've been working on the 93 OBS as parts come in, been waiting on a bellhousing for a few months now. Also recently bought a 78 K20 that we've been fixing up.

Potter! Truck looks great. This is why I know I couldn't build them to flip as I would want to keep them all. Will be hard to see her go, but the market is fantastic and you should do really well on that gem.

Thanks! It's a good thing we didn't LS swap it or we may have ended up keeping it. I'm not sure the market here will support what we're trying to get out of it, but we will give it a couple weeks and then look at Bring a Trailer.

**sfont66** · 06-15-2022, 05:49 AM

Once again, fantastic job! Truck looks so good in black.
The quality and care taken with this build truly shows.
