Just sat here and read the whole thing now I'm jealous. Freakin kool.

ChevyFreak60 · 12-05-2012, 06:52 PM

Truck is sick man!! I really like how the slammed stepper looks.

DLOE65 · 12-14-2012, 03:26 PM

Thanks guys... progress has been slow, after my trip to Del's I dropped my pan to upgrade my oil pump to a high output pump to try and fix my low oil pressure problem... noticed I have a messed up crank bearing!

just got the front end torn apart and pulled the engine... goes back to the builder next week.. luckily it is under warranty... hopefully have it back on the road before the 1st.

Alright D, for some reason I'm thinking your pulling the motor out to install a bigger crank or a super charger.

good luck bro, let me knkw if you need anything!

Sorry you had to pull the mill bro, at least you caught it early and avoided serious damage.

My eyes must be playing tricks on me. The 2nd pic looks as if you have one pipe (the one most inboard) blocked off at the end.

Took a test drive around the block tonight. Ran good, great oil pressure now, need to tune the carb a bit, and need a new rear bag, pinched it between the upper and lower mounts and poked a hole in it! Dooh!!! I always take them out when I jack the frame up, im always worried they will tear before the shocks bottom out. Well at least im back to makin progress!
