The motor swap is completely finished, it runs and drive perfect! One push of the skinny pedal and it will kill both 315's out back, it's exactly what I was going for. I posted a few completed pics and I tried to post a video, if it worked.

Finishing this motor swap has more or less brought me to a spot where I have to say to myself.. "STOP"... This truck has come a long way since I started on it and I think it's good enough to leave it "as is". I'm still planning on doing a few more things to it (Big brakes) but nothing too major it's time to drive it and enjoy it. I think I need to turn my attention elsewhere for a while so this will probably be the last update on it for a while.

I'm thinking in the fall I might pick up another 67-72 SWB and head a different direction with it ,Dropmember, LS1, bags, who knows I'll keep you guys posted on what I do. I figure since this was more of a Sport truck/ Muscle truck/ Resto mod, or whatever you want to consider it the next one needs to be different. Whatever I end up doing it will definately be a more challenging /custom build than this truck was.

lowdownstar · 05-03-2010, 09:31 PM

challenging or not for you! I really love how it ended up. Thanks for letting us be a part of it,and i hope you do take the time to enjoy it.

Thanks Ray

That is one awesome looking truck man.That color is about as perfect as it gets!

Painter D · 07-12-2010, 08:05 PM

So I know I said I was "pretty much done" with this truck, but.... it's just too darn hot here. So a Vintage air system will be on it's way some time in the next month or so, (definately before Sept). I'll have pics as soon as I get it.

VA72C10 · 07-12-2010, 08:19 PM

cool! Not meant to be a pun....are you doing a sure-fit or a custom setup since you shaved the firewall?

franky69c10 · 07-12-2010, 10:09 PM

Sick

mcbassin · 07-12-2010, 11:24 PM

Just curious how you actually drive a truck this nice on the street? One of the cleanest I have ever seen anywhere!

my67chevytruck · 07-13-2010, 09:30 AM
