Very cool!

[ruffrida2005]

sweet, what size valves you running?

[shortbed70]

3/8" for the rear and 1/2" for the front. I was screwing around last night and measured lockup and slammed at the back portion of frame by the rollpan and came up with about 11" of lift. Now onto the front...

[baggedout81]

Not bad for a couple of honkeys

[shortbed70]

well got some done bags not in yet but here it is laid out. And got the front fenders painted now I need to get the frame painted and put motor and trans in.

[shortbed70]

last one. All stock suspension parts.

[baggedout81]

See i'm not in any of these pics THIS time.

I sent you more pics also via. email

[shortbed70]

Yea I was going to hang the fenders tonight and maybe put the front clip togather and pull the whole clip off to paint the frame but we'll see

[protrash64]

Looking good s/b70!!!!!!!! Wait 'til you open up the 1/2'' valves on the front...dont stick your tongue out!

[shortbed70]

I'm bogged down in stupid issue land right now. Once I conquer the engine in the 'burb I can get back to sanding the pickup.

[baggedout81]

Oh chit look what i missed.

Now lets put them bags in and run some line

[shortbed70]

I've been trying to send you a pic since yesterday but my phones being an idiot. I'm goin back out to put the wheels on now

[jkb]

What are the wheel and tire sizes? Looks great

[shortbed70]

Rear is 15x10 with 295/50/15 and fronts are 15x8 I can't remember the tire size

[shortbed70]

Well finally some progress after along wait. Fuel cell is set in place made some brackets for that and with a little clearencing the new camaro longtube headers are in. Heres some pics. Oh yea and I sweat on everything it was HOT.

[protrash64]

Those headers look like a good fit....not too low like most longtubes.

[shortbed70]

They hang the same as a stock tranny x member so I have to modify it by welding thetop clamshell section to the main and removing the bottom section that bolts to the frame. Thats why they call them custom though.

[baggedout81]

We need to cut that gas tank brackets cut out and figure out the tank/valve set up.





















Dam uni-bit

[shortbed70]

Next week Im going tom start on that arrangement

[shortbed70]

Well I hit a snag and had to have surgery and have my appendix removed so Ive been down for this week but I managed to order some parts and try some others on for size. I just recieved my 16 gallon fuel cell and tried some camaro headers for fittment so I ordered my own set should be here next week. Once I get the fuel system done I am going to fire the motor and get the airride system finaled. I've been buisy getting my buddys drag truck going so not much time to work on my own.

[scotts62]

Yeah id say that getting your appendix removed is one heck of a snag

Well hope the recovery goes well and you get back to normal soon, hey at least you will have some new parts to put in
