Almost Finished - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Got a call from an old friend that needed a piece of original windshield stainless trim for his truck. So loaded up the old Longhorn with the stainless trim...I know over-kill but any excuse to drive the truck...and headed over to his house. It is shiny and he has ordered some 18's and 20's for it. I traded him the trim for the Hoosier slicks...LOL! They will be nice on my '67.

Looks real nice. What wheel you gonna run?

More pics. He is a retired fireman and bought this truck new...now he is restoring it the way HE wants it.

He is going to run the Coy's that are similar to Torque Thrust II's. Not sure what tires he is running. Nice guy and he has been working on this project for about 2-3 years. New ZZ-4 (?) 383 from GMPP, 2.5 in spindles and 2 inch drop springs front, 4 inch drop springs in rear. Free rollers from the tire shop and sitting on casters so you can't really tell what the stance will be. Single piece power windows and just about everything is NEW.

Prolly a HT383 or Fast Burn 383.The ZZs are 350s.That`s a nice paint sceme.I`ve seen F.D.s with the black upper over red.I think Chicago has that (not as stylish).Any influence there?

Did the Longhorn squat with that load?

Nice truck....I hope you didn't hurt your springs with that load...

It looks like it's the Fast Burn 383 because it uses the ZZ block.
