Haha. If I ever get the thing back on the road. I'll probably baby it for a while or until the nervousness goes away

Few more pictures but none of the whole truck. It's dusty and I didn't have time to give it a decent bath.

Those rear tires look awesome

**derotoreut** · 01-04-2015, 10:32 PM

Hey man, looking good. I just read through your entire build thread and I like what I see. Gonna jump in for the ride. Keep up the good work.

Thanks. It's a slow ride but a ride none the less. Things may change for the powerplant here soon. I've got more research to do

gdavis · 01-06-2015, 03:25 AM

The low boys look good. They should set the truck off real good. Nice job on the tubs also. Keep it up. George

SeTx67 · 02-23-2015, 01:23 PM

Been so busy I haven't had much time for anything but I did move the engine back a few inches. It's pretty tight against the fire wall now and opened up some options for some future plans. I also ordered and received a porterbuilt trailing arm crossmember but haven't got around to installing it yet. I took the truck to the end of the street and back and under part throttle it wanted to get a little sideways. I don't think the neighbors enjoy the lack of exhaust as much as I do though

mcbassin · 02-23-2015, 02:18 PM

Digging the wheels and tires!

gdavis · 02-24-2015, 12:19 AM

How tight is the engine to the fire wall? Do you still have room for the distributor to be pulled out if you need to in the future. I put mine in the rear holes and I couldn't pull the distributor. Just thinking that all.

He has a new school LS engine George, no issue there.

Thanks. I should have tires for the front soon and then I'll get everything finished up once I'm back home again.

I don't have those issues with the ls. Thanks for looking out though

How have you been Brian? Hopefully not freezing to much. I can't wait to see you making progress on your truck again

SeTx67 · 02-24-2015, 12:50 PM

Xeen · 02-24-2015, 02:01 PM

Woah, nice trailing arm crossmember!

I've been good, thanks.
I am looking forward to getting started on mine again as soon as the weather warms up.

roushinator · 02-24-2015, 02:18 PM

Very Nice!

Truck looks great!! Rear wheel looks sweet with that nice lip

Claytona08 · 04-23-2015, 09:07 AM

Man that is awesome. Hopefully I can swing by and check it out tomorrow

Xeen · 04-23-2015, 09:34 AM

I just LOVE this truck, it is understated with a monster engine lurking underneath, ready to chew up rice and spit it out!

SeTx67 · 04-23-2015, 10:19 AM

Thanks guys. We got the porterbuilt trailing arm crossmember in yesterday and I'm at the exhaust shop now. Hopefully I'll be cruising around this afternoon

SeTx67 · 04-23-2015, 02:24 PM

Exhaust is now done and the truck is back at the shop for a alignment. I'll need to adjust the pinion angle by 2-3 degrees to get it dialed in where I want it.

There was a 70 gmc with a 73 and later stepside bed on it sitting up there but I didn't get any pics. When it left this was dropped off

Claytona08 · 04-23-2015, 02:46 PM

Man I need to take a cruise in it!!! I bet it would be a fun ride! Also, seeing the pic of the Chevelle makes me want to go work on mine!

SeTx67 · 04-23-2015, 09:14 PM

I'll be home most of the day tomorrow. It drove fine from silsbee back home but had a little noise from the front end. I think the dust cover is rubbing slightly since I had to tweak it a little with the new spindles. Get to work on the Chevelle. I'd love to see it
