great choice going back to the 20's.

7D-TWO · 09-18-2014, 03:15 PM

Really nice truck one of the cleanest I've seen bro...and good choice going back to 20s I had to decide also and just kept my 20s. It just looks better in my opinion. Can't go wrong with intros too.

That truck sets perfect!!..

I think that is what I will do to mine ece 4.5/6 and then use lowering blocks to get the back down with out a c notch.

original-71 · 09-30-2014, 03:30 PM

finally nice weather and no work. got the truck out finally for a drive the rear drop handled very well on a big dip at 70mph i puckered up expecting to bottom out but to my surprise nothing. i think she sits pretty level now may be done with lowering anymore.

well ive been on the fence for a while now of redoing my motor its tired has leaks and wanted a cam in there so a buddy pulled his out of his 72 blazer cause hes doing an ls motor and gave me his 350 to rebuild well that was my intentions then finding a shop and time and all that may end up paying about the same if not more so i just picked this new one up last sunday 350/365hp ready turn key motor with 12 month 12,000 mile warranty on every part from Gordons Engines. it was my 11 year anniversary saturday so i let my wife hand over the cash so she can feel like she bought it for me

next gonna get a new transmission and then put it in. in the mean time gonna paint intake change valve covers may use my air cleaner not sure yet.
