How about some pics of your 4x4 - Page 14 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Lookin' forward to those CV angle pics dirty.

Southe, I want your truck. Looks very nice man. That a one-ton? What's your lift on that thing?

LuckyLightning · 09-20-2007, 02:40 AM

Oh yeah, dirty - did you replace your shocks when you did the "lift"? If so, did you get stock shocks or shocks for lifts?

I did not replace shocks. I dont take my truck off road as you can tell.

I was going to go off roading, in the sand dunes Labor Day weekend but while we were just getting into it, we got a call the outhouse was on fire and had to go back to camp

SO. I dont think that they are going to be a problem off road.... I did notice some 'head bob' while towing a trailer unloaded, but that is rare so I can deal with that. Looks>small ride quality

watahyahknow · 09-21-2007, 10:42 AM

wat kind of system you have on that intake never seen that before , looks like a mecanical injection en one verry big trottlebody

hilbilly · 09-21-2007, 10:48 AM

Rons Flying Toilet Alky Injection, Works GREAT!, I'll never go back to carb again. A barrel of booze costs 106.00 compaired to 800 something for VP.

watahyahknow · 09-21-2007, 03:17 PM

out here in holland we pay i believe 20 percent alcotax and 19 percent normal tax on top of the price i think it depens on the amount of alcohol there is in the beverage and 100 % pure alco it isnt available in large quantities only in modelstores mixed with nitrous for modelcars and planes last time i checked it was 3 times the price of normal fuel .
the injection system looks interesting though i like to learn more about it
does it work like stationairy/full trottle or is it more docile than that

hilbilly · 09-21-2007, 03:35 PM

It's pretty forgiving. I can drive around the the pits with no problem. Would'nt think it be all that good for street use. It likes to load up when idling or low rpm because is mechanical. I think the "model" fuel you are speaking of is nitromethaine, I run methanol in this system.

dirtybird1 · 09-21-2007, 10:52 PM

Lucky Lightning, here are the cv pics you requested

LuckyLightning · 09-22-2007, 05:47 AM

Thanks dirty. They look a little questionable (parallel to the ground is best) but not extremely concerning since you don't do any serious off-roading. I think as long as you got an alignment after your crank, you should be good.

I really wanted to do this as well but since I've already cranked 1 inch just to get it leveled out, I'm worried trying to go another 2 inches (after the blocks, gonna need to keep it leveld) my lower ball joints will cry and break apart on me. Going just one more inch might be safer, but I doubt it'll really be worth it.

Thanks again for all the pics, you really got me thinking about what else I can (and want) to do with my truck.

Heres mine, '57 on '71 Blazer 4x4 frame...still needs a lot, but a fun head turner!

vtblazer · 10-14-2007, 06:32 AM

WAY COOL!

That thing just screams..."Bad Ass"

LuckyLightning · 10-14-2007, 10:16 AM

That's awesome stellarmishap. I see you have the bed installed higher than the cab and front clip to get the wheel wells even. Did you have to do anything else to the frame or the body to get it all together?

stellarmishap · 10-14-2007, 02:08 PM

Thanks, guys!
The frame had to be lengthened a foot, otherwise went pretty easy, considering.

71Chevy4-speed · 10-14-2007, 06:12 PM

Heres mine a few weeks ago, have since put 31 x 10.50 Toyo A/T's on it and changed the headlights to sylvania silverstars. Grill is broke I know, its on the list lol.

Nice truck, would you want to part with that bed???
