To answer the TV cable question.

Bowtie Overdrives just released a TV system that clamps on to the camaro TB. With just one bolt I can completely adjust my shift points and how hard it shifts. It's about $150 and well worth every penny.

Welcome from Kansas, Nice looking truck

1971 Cheyenne · 07-22-2003, 02:59 PM

That is one killer truck! I love the shaved look and it's not overly done. JUST RIGHT!

What size and model tires are those?, I'm assuming those are 15 inch wheels you are running.

VERY NICE!

Injected68LS1 · 07-22-2003, 06:20 PM

The wheels are 15x8 and 15x10 with 265/50 and 295/50s. I think 3.5 offset in front and 4.5 in back. I'm going to get rid of them soon since I'm going to 5 lug.

FILICE72C10 · 07-23-2003, 02:36 AM

nice truck. Welcome from CA!

supercheyenne · 07-23-2003, 03:13 AM

Man the sweet trucks have been just pouring in for the last few weeks........ I better get to work soon!

Chevy4Life · 07-23-2003, 03:27 AM

Very sweet ride!

What drop is on it now?

sgtjed · 07-23-2003, 04:26 AM

Another welcom from Oklahoma

Very sweet truck,but ya killin me,i gotta see pics of that engine and how it sits in there.

Injected68LS1 · 07-23-2003, 10:32 AM

I'll try to get the engine pic up today. I'm not sure exactly what the drop is. The front is about 3". The rear is about 5".

I'm dropping the front 2.5" more and the rear 1" more. That will make my 18s(when I get them) look slick.

Injected68LS1 · 07-23-2003, 10:34 AM

Thanks for all the response by the way!

67chevemall · 07-23-2003, 10:53 AM

Nice Truck! Make that grill yourself? Welcome to the best board around!! Was that a flex fan that blew-up!! I won't even drive mine till that electric comes in the mail!!
Cheers for the great north!

Injected68LS1 · 07-23-2003, 01:16 PM

The grill is custom. I modified the shell extensively.

With the LS1 I do have an electric fan. The flex fan was on my old small block and happened two years ago.

72chevyLWB · 07-23-2003, 01:26 PM

When everything is done you need to post E.T's so we know how quick they are in these trucks with fuel injection. And is it the Corvette or Camaro LS1? But sweet ride and can't wait for the engine pics.

Cap'n Hook · 07-23-2003, 01:29 PM

1968 Chevy ½tons getting 20+ mpg!!! What's the world coming to!! I would agree, with tuning, u should get close to 23-25 mpg with a close to stock rear. My '00 T/A with a T56 got over 27 on the highway, and would do 162 in 5th!! Happy sailin!!

EDIT: BTW, my '00 T/A dynoed 305rwhp/311rwtq with 2200 miles and only a K&N filter!!

stelth2002 · 07-23-2003, 07:38 PM

What size are those meats, i want to put 285/70/15s on the back, but dont know if they will fit

**BIG ORANGE** · 07-23-2003, 08:56 PM

Welcome to the board,and let me say that is a bad ride you have there,I give it 2 Big thumbs UP!!!!!!!!!

Injected68LS1 · 07-24-2003, 12:01 AM

So here's a picture of my engine. Talk about a lot of work. I never imagined that my truck would run this well. It cost plenty but now is worth every penny.

Pumkin Truck · 07-24-2003, 12:15 AM

it looks amazing, almost like ls1's belong in there
wtg!

Low68 · 07-24-2003, 02:34 AM

Hey, this is going to sound like a wierd question, but what is the diameter for the air cleaner? I am talking about the part that clamps around the throttle body. Do you know? When I was looking for an air cleaner for my efi, I was having the hardest time finding an air cleaner that would fit. Just curious to know if one off of that engine is the same diameter. Thanks a lot.
