Dumb question that could be answered by reading, but are those 18's?

That's why the build threads are made...

I am sure I have read this build thread before, but I just went through it again.
Awesome job!!!

DALTON · 09-20-2010, 09:25 PM

love the way you have your exhaust run out.....now thats the way its supposed to look

**SactoJim** · 10-08-2010, 03:10 PM

Had my truck on the lift the other day to change oil and check some other things and figured better take some pics before it gets too dirty and beat up!.....about 6k miles and it's staying pretty clean!

**67cheby** · 10-08-2010, 03:21 PM

Very Clean, nice job

Very nice Jim. To bad John couldn't get those shots for your magazine feature.

spike38 · 12-04-2010, 03:00 AM

Still looks great!

How do you like that transmission pan Jim? Does the 700r4 seem to be holding up to the abuse?

So far so good......though I don't beat on it too hard. The pan is fine and I also have one of those aluminum finned coolers mounted to the side of the frame rail, but the tranny still gets too hot in traffic (have a trans temp gauge). I need to reroute the lines through the radiator and to a better cooler mounted up front.

Sounds good I'm going to get a trans cooler just in case. I ordered a level 3 700r4 which should be plenty for a street truck but I wanted to be sure because of the 502big block but they say it will be good up to 700hp with a one year unlimited mile warranty. So I will be putting it through it's paces lol...

BTW I have the drop and front/rear sway bar package also with all new bushings and springs. How does your handle and ride?

It rides pretty well for older lowering techniques....stepped A-arms and dropped springs. I bought the lowering kit for it waaaaay back in the early 90's when there wasn't much available. Shocks are also a good 15 years old (KYB gas adjusts that I painted). I also need to flip my tie rod ends because of some bumpsteer......but for the most part it works pretty good.

Sicmaro · 12-13-2010, 08:01 AM

Jim do you have a pictures of what you did with the inner passenger seat mount? I just picked up a 93 seat and am going to cut it down the 1.5 inches. Seems like the inner pass side may just need a spacer of some sort? Thanks.

Dang....looked all over for pics and can't find any......from what I remember, I had a spacer on the front before I cut the brackets down and It seems go me that the 1.5" I cut off was just enough to not need a spacer anymore on the front.....I'm pretty sure I cut the back down....been like 3 years since I did that! Pretty easy mod and I'm glad I did it.

ryans69chevy · 12-14-2010, 02:21 AM

I was looking at your circuit board by your emergency brake and confused me by the color of the carpet. I see the seam of the black carpet but then it still goes black up the firewall. I'm wondering what material you used. You must have put something over your sound deadening...It looks pretty cool like that. Spectacular paint btw!!!!

Thanks.......just some semi-gloss rattle can paint before I put the carpet down!
