I would love to have it....I bet I could sell it and fix my truck up pretty dang nice!

Sorry to hear seems like a few of your horses blew a shoe, hope its nothing that a little rebuilding cant fix

Longhorn Man · 03-17-2005, 07:54 PM

Being that a piston broke, and at least one main bearing is shot and it got major hot...I am not holding my breath. Plus, not many ppl will bother with a 425. The 472 and 500 get all the fame.
I'll crack it open, but I expect it to be scrap weight.

Andy,
If you haven't already, check out cb7. I know there are a few guys on there from down your way (Columbus/Dayton/Cincy) that might have something you could use. It's worth a shot.

GMC AMI · 03-18-2005, 08:08 AM

I have a beautiful 69-472 you could have if you wish to run super fuel, darn compression is 10 1/4 to 1. Too bad I live 1064 miles away, I guess I will just have to part it out and save parts for the 500. Did you see just how much it is too replace bearings, Ouch, sure not like Chevys. Must have gold plating, over 200 bucks for the bearings!

you are scaring me Mike!!!
do you have an oil pan for that 472 that will fit in my truck?

I would NEVER DO A TLT front end on a rig like that... why would anyone do that? Its trying too hard, like a pimpmobile doing suicide lambo doors that are totally inappropriate for a classic ride... or a vette for that matter...

They are cool ona contach... but no matter how hard one tries.. a truck is a truck, not a countach....

too those with suicide/countach truck doors, I am not knocking them, I just don't understand it...... But then opinions are like A-holes........

Yes, I have the correct oil pan with the proper oil pick up tube for a truck.
Front wheel drive Eldorado pan, do you need one?

THATS A FRONT OPENING HOOD... NOT A TILT FRONTEND. I DON'T HAVE ANY ON MY TRUCKS, BUT I THINK THEY LOOK COOL AS H@LL ON THERE. BEFORE TELLING EVERYONE WHAT IS INAPROPRIATE, MAYBE YOU SHOULD AT LEAST LEARN WHAT THE MIODIFICATION IS CALLED. BUT THEN AGAIN OPINIONS REALLY ARE LIKE @SSHOLES.(COUNTACH???)

Sorry john, I typed after too many beers... too late at night... I should never type when I don't know when to bite my tongue... It seems some of those mods are for show trucks as a pallette for the fabricator to push the envelope... I think its a hard fab and only for those who possess the skills... I just think it busies the truck up excessively... sorry to have offended anyone...

*dtlilly* · 03-19-2005, 08:27 PM

No offence taken Gary, actually that front tilt is easy to retun back to original if you want to. Not my year of chevy, but the owner probably has words for our year too

junkyardjohn · 03-19-2005, 09:50 PM

NO PROBLEM GARY... I DON'T THINK YOU OFFENDED ANYONE VERY MUCH AT ALL .. AFTER YOU'VE BEEN AROUND HERE A WHILE I THINK YOU'LL FIND THAT MOST OF US ARE PRETTY THICK SKINNED. WELCOME TO THE BEST TRUCK BOARD ON THE PLANET

Gary Lee · 03-19-2005, 11:25 PM
