Looks like you're getting some sideways pictures.

Congrats on the award!

Congrats on the win. Interior is looking great!!!

wutnxt · 09-08-2014, 01:24 PM

hey looking good man....it's been awhile since i came by...looks great nice win.

shortbed70 · 09-25-2014, 08:15 AM

Thanks man... Went to the last big show of the year (One I always have problems at) and it was a great weekend other than having to leave early Sunday and didn't get to go to trophy presentation! Oh well...

shortbed70 · 09-25-2014, 08:17 AM

And the first time in 4 years this car made it to the show since I painted!!!

shortbed70 · 04-18-2015, 09:13 AM

Been awhile since I posted... Bought a new trailer for karma and was trying to talk the wife into a set of wheels but the wife doesn't like them!!! Dang it!!! Here's the trailer.

shortbed70 · 04-18-2015, 09:13 AM

These are the wheels I wanted to buy!!!

likaroc13 · 04-18-2015, 10:39 AM

Nice trailer. Tough call on the wheels. I've seen those on the '99-02 GMC/Chevy fullsize, & they looked good on them. Maybe you could get somebody to do a photoshop pic.

I have a post over there now lol... Hoping someone can because they are cheap!!! Thx on the trailer but dang it's heavy! Time to get a diesel pickup!!!

Well went and had a little fun a few weeks back and ran my truck at the drag strip. Right out of the box ran a 9.41 spinning like crazy 1/8 mile pass. I was happy to say the least. Now I'm looking at possibly putting some M/T drag radials on the rear and a bigger stall... 255-60-15 bfg and 3k stall with 700r4/3.73 rearend and traction I'm hopping to break the 8's and not my rear end..

shortbed70 · 06-13-2015, 10:27 PM

Well they're here!!! Hopefully this helps the traction issue I have...

shortbed70 · 06-16-2015, 07:57 AM

praying for no rain!!!!

likaroc13 · 06-29-2015, 02:09 PM

Looks like you're having fun with it!

shortbed70 · 07-04-2015, 01:29 PM

New tow pig!!! My hemi's twin with different trim!!!

shortbed70 · 09-03-2015, 12:40 AM

New toy is here... Now time for surgery!!! 10" 3000-3200

shortbed70 · 09-07-2015, 09:28 AM

Man the convertor change really woke the truck up and has a lot better street manners... Picked up 4 tenths on et 8.705 and 1.91 60' on airbags... Gonna do some cruising today I hope!!! My other ticket was 1.91 lol
1/8 mike btw... Idk why their ticks say 1320

shortbed70 · 06-05-2016, 05:03 PM

Well got new wheels for the truck and went to a small show and started noticing some strange noise.... Got back home and let it cool off and low and behold #5 intake rocker isn't moving as far as it should. Not sure if the cam or lifter or both went south.... It's been in the motor since 04 and was in another motor new in 02.

chad64chevy · 06-05-2016, 05:31 PM

got any side pics of the truck with the new rims/ and what size tires you running with them

shortbed70 · 06-05-2016, 05:37 PM

20x8.5 245/35/20

chad64chevy · 06-14-2016, 06:32 PM

ls motor swap is in my future as well!

shortbed70 · 07-15-2016, 04:48 PM

Well had a few set backs! Cam went flat (lost number 5 intake lobe and lifter) so tore it all down cleaned things up, installed a new cam and lifters with a split duration/lift cam to take advantage of the vortec head design so hopefully that will help be alittle more street freindly! So now full of Brad Penn oil and ready to get some miles on it!

shortbed70 · 05-13-2018, 12:39 AM

Well after lots of thought I think I’m going to swap in a small port bbc into the truck and make it more of a street cruiser with better manners on the street so the wife can drive it. The small block is alittle rowdy and temperamental! So my question is has anyone ran chevelle/camaro long tubes on their bbc swap with pics? I’m also thinking of staying around 10-1 with iron heads on the big block and a decent small roller for reliability. Any thoughts, opinions gear ratio etc. I’ll be running a built 700r 4.

**Captainfab** · 05-13-2018, 12:44 AM

Here's a thread on the headers.

http://www.67-72chevytrucks.com/vboa...velle+longtube

Depending on your rear tire size, with the OD trans I would run a 3.42 or 3.73 gear.

shortbed70 · 12-31-2018, 01:57 PM

Disc swap done finally better brakes!!! BBC got file 13.. Onto bigger wheels and tires next... I’m thinking 315 will look nice on the back!

Modges'66 · 01-01-2019, 06:06 PM

Lookin' good man!
You should be able to hang those tires on that thing with the right wheel offset.
I have 315/35's inside of my bedwall with widened tubs & custom offset...Just in case I ever wanted to go lower, I wouldn't need to buy different wheels.
