Care to give a quick recap on your drivetrain setup?

Rebuilt LQ9 with a new Comp Cam (have no idea what the specs are on it but it's in the thread somewhere), new springs & rods.

I even have overdrive again.

I think this is what a big part of what you were talking about in your other thread too.

Went to Super Run today in Red Deer. Came home tonight & am very glad b/c it stormed hard after supper!

Saw this black C10 again, it is very, very nice!

This red truck has an awesome paint job too!

I have to share this: met Dwayne from Calgary here at the show and he has the NICEST car I have ever seen.

1967 Camaro, 800 HP LS3, he did everything except build the engine, do the upholstery and paint. Took him 5 years. Absolutely perfect car in my opinion!

[Gordonr1973]

Also met Dennis from My Classic Car earlier in the day, here he is filming a segment with another car owner and there are 2 fat shirtless dudes in the background photo-bombing the scene! lol

Well guys, it's been a fun ride.

I just want to say thanks for all the encouragement and kind words over the past two years, not to mention all the help and information you've provided to me that has really saved my build from coming off the rails at times.

Most of all I wanted to say thanks to my wife, Elly, who has supported me through this build process.

Here's a pic of us today from the show. I'm going to enjoy driving the truck as-is for a while and decide where to go with it from here. I have a few other projects in the shed waiting their turn and.......

Hey man, I had a good look at your truck today.

It looks even better in person!! Nice job

I had the faded green 72 on air with 20/22's there. Just bought it on Tuesday, lotsa work done to bag it etc by Friday night.

Again great truck, enjoy it!!!!

Oooops I did it again...

Nice interior, needs cleaning:

You are a madman, Gordon!

[Gordonr1973]

I've always wanted a red one.

Alex has shown me the light of what a truly perfect truck body should look like:

So, I decided to rework the Rusty Hole'a afterall & I will rebuild this red one as a stocker with a slight drop with all the extra parts I have laying around.

Whats the plans for this one?

Gonna use up my extra parts and drive the 350 red one every other day to save on gas!!

It was an impulse buy really, but it keeps me out of trouble I guess.

[y5mgisi]

Is it going to be pretty close to factory red?
