My 20 month old son has an addiction with my truck every night when i come home he is waiting for me to go for a ride. Tonight my 21 year old son took a cell pict of us getting home from our ride around the neighborhood.I thought I would share with you all.

*highperf4x4* · 04-27-2010, 10:34 PM

That is fantastic!

lilMis71 · 04-29-2010, 10:33 AM

Heath I have not ran a speedo cable as I am in the process of replacing my gauges to autometers and I am going to use an electronic speed sensor and not have to run an actual speedo cable. Just run regular electrical wire and it will be ran very stealthy once it gets done I will be posting picts of it.

my67chevytruck · 04-29-2010, 11:41 AM

ok cool , thanks for the update. I am thinking of autometers as well, because it will be easier than trying to rewire for the original. let me know if you find any deals on the gauges.
I may bounce some ideas and questions off of you when i start to run the wiring.....

*highperf4x4* · 04-29-2010, 01:34 PM

Al, did you pick up another truck yet?

72BlckButy · 04-29-2010, 02:49 PM

Al, are those common bulbs in your truck (headlights post #495) are something else?

They seem really bright!

Nate, they are nothing special I think they are sylvania brand if I remember correctly. Remember the wiring on my truck was completely redone maybe is because of that and the grounds are really good. I dont know...

not much to sort of speak of. I am ready to order some stuff to upgrade what I already have, but been so busy with work and family that I have not pulled the trigger as I know how I am desperate to finish and not having the leisure time I need I keep.

trukzguy · 05-31-2010, 06:57 PM

Hey man, very very beautiful truck, I was wondering what crank and rods and pistons you used in the 400,and what crane cam and pushrods did you use,i have a 400 small block that I would like to build up,just not sure what way to go.

I will pm you a list of everything we used in this motor. I dont have it handy
will have to dig up paperwork and go from there.

trukzguy · 05-31-2010, 10:07 PM

thanks, that would be awesome. I appreciate it.

big_al_71 · 06-05-2010, 02:31 PM

Well there is a monthly cruise tonight in south miami it happens on the first saturday of every month. I am still debating if I should go or not well just in case I decided to wipe down my truck just in case. Main reason is because it has poured every single afternoon this week so far and my truck does not like the rain neither do I

since I will have to clean the under carriage

. Well I had my little 21 month old son help me so
I just had to post a pict or two to show what the engine bay looks like and my little helper....

Al how did you get your A/C compressor to mount that low? I like it cuz it's out of the way and semi-hidden.

Engine bay just looks great!

72BlckButy · 06-05-2010, 03:05 PM

That boy knows how to shine... great pics Al!

Hope you can make it to the cruise, and if you do, you know how much we love pics.

trukzguy · 06-24-2010, 11:50 PM

That engine sure looks sweet all polished up.Cant wait for my kids to help with my truck.
