Thanks! I don't exactly remember, but I think the Tailights are off a 40's chevy. Ctrow would know.

oldblue1968chevy · 04-20-2010, 10:45 PM

Sweet truck!!! I really like the color and pinstriping! Whats next?

Richard8971 · 04-27-2010, 11:31 PM

I really love your truck!!! The color and attention to detail is outstanding. Could you tell me what color code you used for the Turquiose? I would really appreciate the info?

Dale

kyull67 · 05-10-2010, 05:08 PM

Unfortunetly though, this is what's next for the truck...
I just tore it down this afternoon, No sign of a cracked block or head. Is it just a head gasket or what else could it be?

kyull67 · 05-10-2010, 05:25 PM

Like a dead body....

I really did not expect to have this thing apart ever again, therefore I am officially retired from the burnout contests. Second picture is where we are headed next. Then we'll see about some dyno runs.

kyull67 · 05-10-2010, 05:00 PM

Thanks guys! Dale, as for the paint code I can not say, it's a custom mix based on a '97 chevrolet color. Richard check the Alternate tinkerings section, I bought a car!

72BlckButy · 05-10-2010, 06:29 PM

Can't wait to see how she does on the dyno...

Not able to determine the culprit?

I think we will all be pleasantly surprised.

kyull67 · 05-10-2010, 06:42 PM

Not yet, haven't really looked at it. I need someone with more experience to tell me what's going on with it..

bobbo · 05-10-2010, 07:11 PM

Let me know when you want me to come over and look, I am really curious as to the failure...

kyull67 · 05-10-2010, 07:31 PM

I'm free tomorrow afternoon. It's supposed to be nice weather wise. Look how clean the 4, 5, and 6 pistons are...

I was noticing that. I work until 5 and won't get home til around 6...

watahyahknow · 05-10-2010, 08:25 PM

any chance its sucking in brakefluid from the powerbrake servo (its in contact with the intake for vacuum if the maincylinder leakes intoo it it can get in the intake ) should be detectable by the lowering of the brakefluidlevel over time and maibe extra smoking on right or left corners (sloshing the brakefluid in in the servo in front of the vacuumport )
those last cylinders are pretty clean so it should be water maibe the headbolds need to be coated with sealant

kyull67 · 05-10-2010, 08:32 PM

I'm leaning towards the headbolts myself. Manual brakes.

kyull67 · 05-11-2010, 09:41 AM

Well if you want to come by I'll be home, there's always the weekend too.

bobbo · 05-11-2010, 06:36 PM

let's plan on saturday morning...

samwise68 · 05-12-2010, 01:15 PM

Man, thats rough. Real rough.

However, think of that blow off valve popping and the whistle of the hair dryer...it'll be pretty sweet.

Can't wait to see how this all goes.

And good luck with the diagnosis - if the head gasket wasn't blown out, I'd go with head bolt, possibly one of the allens? might've backed out a bit, or just didn't seal the jacket.

72BlckButy · 05-15-2010, 09:57 PM

Any updates Kyle?

kyull67 · 05-16-2010, 12:03 PM

Yes. Brad and I put the head back on it yesterday and I will hopefully be driving it this afternoon.

kyull67 · 05-21-2010, 09:21 PM

Well doesn't look good. It's still leaking water from somewhere, looks like I may be putting a different motor in...But hopefully it's just the head.

But I did install my tool box!

watahyahknow · 05-22-2010, 12:06 AM

that toolbox looks nice verry era correct shall we say ....... maibe you could paint it in the bodycolour or white theres allready a lot of the blue surounding it

did they pressuretested the head for leaks ?

kyull67 · 05-22-2010, 10:52 AM

No, I just did a head gasket because it was cheap and quick. Going to have the head tested next.

kyull67 · 06-11-2010, 08:30 PM

Just got the head back from the machine shop. No cracks or anything, it looks like it was just the intake port head bolts. I replaced those with new and better bolts along with some head bolt washers and locktite 592. we should be in business by next weekend.

**Palf70Step** · 06-11-2010, 08:46 PM

Glad to hear the news looks good so far. Looking forward to seeing the 6 moving ya again.
