it is amazing to come to these threads and see the start to recent progression. this truck houses an amazing amount of craftsmanship! GOOD WORK! awesome job man.

68GMCCustom · 02-20-2010, 11:26 PM

Beautiful craftsmanship. If I change my mind, and decide to keep the EFI on the brand new LY6 I just bought (planning no doing the carb'd intake/MSD 6LS solution with an aftermarket cam, gear and chain to lock out the VVT), I may need to enlist your aid in the wiring/ecm/tune area. Especially if I were to score a 6L80e for it and want to keep the VVT.

babyblueoval · 02-20-2010, 11:52 PM

Yeah, I'd love to have a 6L80E to slide in place of my 4L80E.
Let us know what you have to do to make it work correctly.

ya, usually just vent it to air.. i too keep my trucks in the garage, and it doesnt smell of gas.... so i think you should be alright to do that also.....

got some progress to report....like said earlier, welded some studs to the back side of rad support cover, so the fastners would be hidden...then broke out the new howe radiator, and electric fan....had to remove one side rad. rubber isolator cup and move it over to mount this radiator....to move the cup over i had to cut a piece of the core support out and fab up a new 'raised lip' for the cup to sit on...then welded it all in...once the lower cups were the right width to hold the rad. i made some simple tabs for supporting the top of the radiator....once the rad. was hard mounted, i did some measureing (and re-measureing

) for the rad. cover... it came out well....the lower out let of the rad. is at a angle, and the studs going in the top are paralell to the rad. support, so i had to make the lower hole on the rad. cover more of a ovel due to all the factors (hope that makes sence).....it all went together as planed, and looks good....then i located the electric fan and mounted it to the rad, and again cut the hole in the cover for that too...there will be some flaps added for higher speed air flow too...

*Puropedo* · 03-15-2010, 02:08 AM

chevy2racr · 03-09-2010, 11:25 AM

**67cheby** · 03-09-2010, 12:03 PM

BACKYARD88 · 03-09-2010, 12:00 PM

Wow, I think I need to throw my truck away and start over

killer71 · 03-09-2010, 12:54 PM

Big Daddy....sweet progress!!!

Gentlemen we just gettin started, the best is yet to come!!

**67cheby** · 03-09-2010, 01:01 PM

on page 22, in the background there is a inner fender that looks like it has been worked ??? what is it ? is it for sale??

68 short step · 03-09-2010, 03:43 PM

and samething on the otherside....and just some random shots..

72BlckButy · 03-09-2010, 03:46 PM

That thing is amazing! I love the rolls you put under the hood, that will completely draw attention to the motor.

Do you have a scheduled date for this to be complete? We need to get you and either this project, or your stepper, to the Midwest All Truck Nat's in 2010; or KS Goodguy's.

68 short step · 03-09-2010, 04:02 PM

thanks everyone....that is a stock inner fender, thats been moddified....i was experimenting with useing the stock ones, but the truck was just to low for that to happen....so it may land on "big red", but i dont know....as for being for sell, not at this time anyways.

dont have a completeion date, but im chipping away at it...this year has been real busy, with builds, and upcoming builds....

72BlckButy · 03-09-2010, 04:10 PM

You are definitely taking your time and using your attention to detail, so keep at it... it looks amazing.

68GMCCustom · 03-09-2010, 06:33 PM

Looks awesome!

**FRENCHBLUE72** · 03-09-2010, 08:23 PM
