I'm still trying to sell the short step.

I'm actually going out to SC to pick up my parts in two weeks. Hopefully start on it some while I am out there. I have a frame, cab and bed that I am gonna use that is there. I have all the 67 front end parts here.

I'm gonna build a short fleet.

*highperf4x4* · 09-22-2009, 10:43 PM

Yeah I've been working out of town alot.

The only thing I've done is pull a couple pieces of trim since I installed the seats.

scotts62 · 09-22-2009, 10:52 PM

You've done more than me then.... most i have done is put a sheet of plywood over the bed so i can use it as a table to put parts while i build my engine for the ex cab

*highperf4x4* · 09-22-2009, 10:55 PM

Dude it's not supposed to be a work truck!!!!

joe231 · 09-22-2009, 11:08 PM

scotts62 · 09-22-2009, 11:14 PM

Ya well it happens

joe231 · 09-23-2009, 12:48 AM

*highperf4x4* · 09-23-2009, 05:53 AM

Just ignore him Scott. He's just trying to counter-jack my thread!!!!

scotts62 · 09-23-2009, 07:36 AM

JohnC · 09-23-2009, 08:04 AM

*highperf4x4* · 09-30-2009, 11:52 AM

I hate to say "i told ya so" ....... but in a couple of months..............

*TheSebring* · 09-30-2009, 05:45 PM

He wouldn't be able to work on any other projects. His 90 model GMC is a constant project but seems to be fairly done at this point, his 72 needs quite a bit of attending to and he's busy as all get out, and he pawned his last possible project on his son to fix once he beat it up for like 9 years. First had 3, then 2, now 1 so it's "THE FINAL COUNTDOWN!!!"

*highperf4x4* · 10-04-2009, 10:38 PM

Well crap. I guess I was begging for something to make me park the hotrod wasn't I?

I headed over to Joe's today and I had this distinct knocking sound coming from the gas tank. Weird huh? I've checked everything I can think of and it looks like it's going to be a rod. Bum deal. I guess it's transferring through the fuel pump to the metal line coming to the gas tank. It's pretty faint under the hood but I'm almost positive now that it's a rod.

Guess I'll be doing a tear down after all.

nuke1 · 10-04-2009, 10:44 PM

Excuses excuses excuses, you just wanted to tear it down to build a more powerful engine anyway, probaly is just a rock in the brake drums anway. GO ALL OUT!!!! that is what i say.

mikajo39 · 10-04-2009, 11:07 PM

Hmm.... I think a fully forged bottom end, aluminum heads, wild cam, and a 8-71 blower are a must have for this rebuild

*highperf4x4* · 10-04-2009, 11:36 PM

Actually I was just sitting in the hot tub and thinking about exactly how far I wanted to go with it!!

I think I'm gonna cruise on over to summitracing.com and start piling up my wish list. I'll have it ready before christmas so you guys can pick out what you want to get for me!!

Actually I figure if I set up a charitable donation and every member paypals me .50 for the next couple of months as they log in, I'll have a pretty hot motor next year!!
