Sick ass truck mannn! Gotta give it up for all us young pups on here huh? lol keep it up

my67chevytruck · 07-13-2009, 10:12 AM

nice progress.

cajundragger · 07-21-2009, 05:45 PM

thanks guys

did the intake this weekend. all that is left under the hood is a billet p/s tank and to clean up the alt and its bracket somehow.

and a pic of the finished seat

GRIMSS · 07-21-2009, 05:49 PM

Looks great.

50adrod · 07-21-2009, 06:14 PM

I would paint the alt and bracket. probably black but the blue may work also. you could polish it but that would be a pain. do you have a pic of the headliner installed? truck is looking good

cajundragger · 07-21-2009, 10:38 PM

thanks guys.

The headliner isnt back from the my guy yet, but once it is I will get to work.

I thinking Im gunna paint the alt bracket black and the alt case blue.

That is looking awesome!

OrrieG · 07-22-2009, 02:34 PM

Are you using BC/CC for the covers and manifolds or a single stage paint? Just curious if you had to cut and polish around all those intake runners!

cajundragger · 07-22-2009, 04:11 PM

its all base coat clear coat.

Im really comfortable with the clear I use so I can get it really slick without polishing it. The truck was sanded and polished, but these small engine pieces arent.

I am going to base/clear my whole engine. it still has the truck intake and covers. i originally wanted to powdercoat but the water pump seals cant take the heat. what clear are you using?

marc70chevy · 07-22-2009, 06:54 PM

awesome build thread, your truck is amazing! the attention to detail really paid off

CAL 58 GMC · 07-22-2009, 07:27 PM

Man your build is really turning out nice! Keep it up and your going to have one Bad *ss truck!

probably twin's when ever I graduate college. I need steady income first, lol.

marc70chevy · 08-01-2009, 06:12 PM

that's going to be sick! a procharger would be cool too. Thats what i want to put in my truck

Laid_Out_50 · 08-02-2009, 12:50 PM

Great looking truck it's got the look that i am looking to do with my truck except in red. Did you have any clearance problems with the wheels other than with the front fenders any rubbing

BlueJeep · 08-07-2009, 01:37 PM

What's the seat out of, didn't see it mentioned? Looks different than original, and also looks like it's been shortened. Thanks!

nuke1 · 08-09-2009, 01:35 AM

looking better everytime i check out your build, especially love the covers on the engine, nice touch!

cajundragger · 08-09-2009, 01:03 PM

I didnt have any clearance problems will the wheels except in the rear mostly because my axle is a big wide for my wheels offset and the height of the tire. I didnt want a tubbed bed though so I didnt mind modifiying the fenders. That should all change though soon.

The bench is out of a 67-72 truck that is shortened and panned. No springs, all foam.

I hoping to make some big changes soon, shouldnt be redoing anything as much as adding to what I have.

BuiltByBrooks · 09-07-2009, 11:23 AM

Awesome!! Build...... Can't wait to start mine
