I'm so happy to have finally made the jump to the big block...and last night I noticed mine came with the 781 heads. I just might be able to save some money and use those...

Flowtech Full-length Headers with Summit Racing 3in. Turbo Mufflers. I plan on changing the exhaust later I just wanted to drive it so I found the Mufflers on craigslist for $25.00 for both brand new

Love the truck... Sounds awesome. What color is the truck gonna be? The bed color or the doors/clip color?

westofb · 10-01-2009, 11:19 PM

Do you have a lot of pearl in the clear on the truck? Lots of the pics looks like the bed and cab/front clip are slightly different colors...well it looks that way to me...I may need to see the eye doc again. Nice looking truck, needs a hood though!

The color is the stock color on the SPID Medium Olive Poly 504 I bought this truck in pieces and only the front half is painted doors,Fenders & Cab hood is in body shop now. I can not aford to paint the bed yet Iam broke

SO yes you can say the truck is two different colors it had been painted once in it's past the green on the Bed is a little darker....

My gas gauge doesn't work I hope I don't run out of gas it would suck. I ran out of gas in my garage just moving it in and out as I was fixing it and it sucked.

jbristo67 · 10-03-2009, 02:17 AM

I hope you dont get mad but I am going but I am 99% sure that your truck is going to have a 67 big wheeled ls powered twin in TX. I love that color. Is there any metallic in that paint. Do you have any interior pictures?

LOW DOUGH · 10-03-2009, 08:28 AM

Nice thats going to be awsome there might be some metallic in the paint it looks like it to me, All I know is that the body shop got the paint code from the sticker on the glove box door "SPID" I thought I had interior pictures but couldn't find any on my computer, The interior isn't complete I still have to pick up my glove box door and my ash tray from paint it's done but I have ben too lazy to make the 45min drive to pick them up

Thanks for all the nice words guys..............

jbristo67 · 10-05-2009, 03:26 AM

eightbanger · 10-05-2009, 04:23 AM

On my first day out to San Jose I had a blast..

petey-pablo · 10-07-2009, 03:45 AM

Untill the ride home My truck started to smoke about 1/4mile from home..found out when I was about to take a trip to the Mechanic that My transmission shaft seal had slipped off onto the yoke....

So now my truck is down for the count till I get it fixed It's up on all four at this time and hopefully I will change the seal out some time tomorrow after work

cedorris · 11-05-2009, 04:03 PM

Are those interior wood grain panels on the doors restored OEM or repros? I'm looking at those two options for my 72 Super.

Neal Molder · 11-05-2009, 08:45 PM

Nice!!!!!! Did you use regular oem big block engine mounts for the 454 or did you use something else. Just wondering because i am going drop in the same or a bigger big block. I don't know if the original were designed for that much torque.
