Re: jimmy build
not real sure. they were on my previous pickup when i bought it. never bothered to ask.
i vaguely remember something my dad said they were...American mags or something. im not 100% sure though. i do recall my dad having a set that looked exactly like them but smaller. |

Re: jimmy build
im not sure yet. i keep going back and forth on whether to use them on this project or wait and use them on an s15 i wanna build. i know for sure though that there are things that need to be done like crossover before the swap cuz of the added travel you gain with 52s

Re: jimmy build
After since you cut the fenders, it looks really wide. But, still looks great.

Re: jimmy build
not much of a big update but i took the rear bumper off to paint in the tight spots.
![]() also decided to ditch the red on the bottom for solid flat black ![]() and started painting the interior. it'll be a semi metallic silver. ![]() Last edited by 70 beast; 06-11-2011 at 02:31 PM. |

Re: jimmy build
that makes wayyyyyyy better sense Burt
![]() when i was cutting them off i was trying to figure out what they were and finally settled for horns. ![]() we should definitely go wheeling. this truck should be better than my first one (bbc) on gas ![]() as for the wheels, i haven't remembered to ask my pops what make so ill make a note to ask this weekend. really wish it was done in time for the snow this weekend but there's always next time. |

Re: jimmy build
well the intake and carb swap is all done! got the carb for 30 bucks from my dads co-worker (any cons to edlebrock carbs???)
![]() ![]() took it for a spin, it needs a new booster (old ones stealing vacuum and leaking) but runs real strong! ![]() so all thats left is: 1. get a new booster 2. buy and install shocks 3. install new power steering box and a million other small items ![]() |

Looks like a good setup. So you notice a nice change in power?

Re: jimmy build
i did notice when i took it around the block, that it had a better response. with the 2 barrel, it seemed sluggish and the vacuum leak was substantial enough to prevent it from driving half way decent.
with the new set up not only was i able to drive it around the block, it didn't seem like the vacuum leak hindered the performance of the carb and truck as a whole. all in all, it was a great change. |
