i have used these http://www.jegs.com/i/JEGS+Performan...09025/10002/-1
i didnt hooked up them up yet because i still have to build the exhaust system but will probably use some flex pipes between the muflers and tips

me too Kim i am very pleased how they turned out

63split · 12-10-2012, 06:02 PM

made some ss fender support brackets for the rear fenders
and got them on the left fender.
these are for the other side , still to be cut to lenght when the fender is installed.

also got the center console lid in place

and added some protection to the starter wiring

Kim57 · 12-10-2012, 07:03 PM

Nice little touches.
Kim

63split · 12-11-2012, 05:43 PM

Good is one word. So is awesome, fantastic, and spectacular. This one reminds me of one of my favorite tri five trucks ever...the black 57 that Ironworks Speed and Custom built. What makes that more of a compliment than many realize is that that truck was built by a high end shop as a showcase piece. That level being obtained by a couple guys in a garage is just mind blowing. Once again, really really nice.

Oh, and I love my grafted in 48 Furd taillights but now wished I had the vette tails to match my vette suspension, darn it all...

63split · 12-15-2012, 02:59 PM

Wow OKGMC4 thanks for the compliment but that truck you refer to is just way above from what i am doing here.

well after waiting 2.5 weeks for the tires to arrive
they came in yesterday. and just put them on today

with 4 wheels and tires it is a lot easier to move it around.
so we rolled it back to the workshop and on the 4 post lift

also bend some lines for the transmission cooler

apache200 · 12-15-2012, 03:05 PM

Your truck build gives us all inspiration on our truck builds!!! Keep up the great work and keep the pics coming...

I'll double that, doing some great work...Jim

OKGMC4 · 12-15-2012, 07:47 PM

That back tire looks like two normal tires standing side by side. Hard to imagine actually doing a burnout with those!

youngsta · 12-15-2012, 09:06 PM

You truck is beautiful, outstanding workmanship. It looks like one of your transmission pan bolts is loose, you don't want a leak in that nice garage.
