Gotta agree with the previous comments...

Great work Brother!!!

Jeff La · 01-28-2015, 11:41 PM

Definitely some great work, looking good

Grizz1963 · 01-29-2015, 02:21 AM

Morning from my bed Clem....... OK, not my bed, but still waking up. Have to go to London today and tomorrow.

What a great update to find.

The dash looks awesome, as does the rest of the transformation.

You guys are doing this truck justice.

bj383ss · 01-29-2015, 09:04 AM

Very inspiring. Thank You!. The Engine color and aluminum parts look fantastic. Even the fittings from the heater core are a great contrast. Not sure if its the pic but it looks like the top of the dash is Satin and the rest Gloss. Pretty awesome paint job. Something to aspire too!

4shongo · 01-29-2015, 10:15 AM

Looks great!! Keep the pics coming....

Jeff La · 01-29-2015, 12:00 PM

ON the engine codes, continuing the mystery. Could he have requested a different engine not normally in the trucks but maybe cars or big trucks?? Maybe wanted more power or torque.

**pdxhall** · 01-29-2015, 04:40 PM

Great work, Clem. Very nice truck.

Bomp · 01-29-2015, 09:44 PM

Your Beautiful Black flawless paint job is the Bomb!

Showed Wifey and she gave it a big thumbs up.

Low Elco · 01-30-2015, 01:38 PM

OOOOOoweeeeee, that's nice!

I believe the "Engine Conversion" refers to emission equipment applied at the factory for CA trucks.

RPO Z20 engine conversion , the conversion was to RPO K19 which is "Air Injection Reactor" or A.I.R. / Smog . You might notice extra groove pulleys or pipe plugs in the exhaust manifolds or an extra tube coming out the air cleaner base. Nice truck. Likeing the black one to !

i thought that at first but now i think it was a dealer thing not factory. the orange engine seems to have the same aging as the rest of the surrounding area but the suffix on the block is not a match with the vin. in fact its not a normal sequence of vin numbers at all. odd...?

yeah, i don't think its factory but dealer installed. probably when it went from California to Colorado the owner nixed the AIR stuff and had the dealer put a 4 barrel 327 in the truck. just guessing, but sounds reasonable.

**Palf70Step** · 01-31-2015, 10:06 AM

That is looking good. Tilly is almost ready for the prom!

sigshooter · 01-31-2015, 11:26 AM

If the red truck is still available in sand springs I told you about a year or so ago, you need to buy it. It was a very solid truck with original paint. You just don't see them like this one very often. I may still have his number in my phone, I bought the original wheels and painted hub caps that came off the truck.

sigshooter · 01-31-2015, 11:30 AM

Looked in my phone, I guess I deleted his number. I am pretty sure I could drive to it again, or draw you a map. It was pretty easy and there was a couple more trucks there and sitting in back yards along the drive.

i hear ya... sig's got quite a collection of trucks and rare parts. hopefully you'll get to meet him this fall. he's a good guy.

**clemdaddy** · 02-07-2015, 04:36 PM

hey fellas, meet Gus.

Bomp · 02-07-2015, 06:53 PM

Hello Gus

Grizz1963 · 02-07-2015, 07:01 PM

WOOOOFFFF WOOOF !!!

Welcome little guy.

Thanks for showing him off.

Ta2Don · 02-07-2015, 08:58 PM

One good looking Puppy!!!

Hello Gus!!!

duallyjams · 02-07-2015, 11:08 PM

Can Gus come out and play.

focusedontheprize · 02-08-2015, 01:21 AM

Great looking boy Clem.

Jeff La · 02-08-2015, 12:20 PM

Gus looks happy and just like one I used to have

**clemdaddy** · 02-09-2015, 05:08 PM

thanks guys... Gus is felling real welcome at his new home and this forum. Me, i feel like a pin cushion, why is it that when a puppy is teething his teeth are as sharp as needles. And how can 20 lbs of poop come out of a 10 lb puppy, twice in the same hour. It defies modern science...

we sure love the little guy...
