Re: Chevy 51" original Texas truck,,now in Holland

Enjoy following your build thread. MY brother lives outside of Brussels, I cant pronounce or spell the name of the town.

Scotts is a real nice setup. I visited them back in 2003 to get a quote for fixing my truck up. They have a lot of magazine quality builds going on. Where in CA are you working now?

Hi YukonXL04

Re: Chevy 51" original Texas truck,,now in Holland

Hey R1 - great job on the truck! love the BBC setup you got stuffed into that engine bay.... thats the way to do it up BIG!

What part of CAL are you working in? NORTH or SOUTH? If you are up in the NORCAL area let us know and lets go have some Heinekens before you leave!

May have some parts you still need too!

Hi PTC

Yes I know, But I don't have the time and patience to modify it😜
So now I have the perfect size and a brand New rear end incl the right
Axles.
And the other one I already sold for a good price, they are hard to find here
In the netherlands
I only have to order the right gearing now
