Wow! Very cool truck!
I was just sitting here wondering about your valve cover leaks, and thinking that maybe you could be tightening them down too much, and pinching the gaskets in half. The bolts only need to be a little more than snug...I know this from my own experiences, that when this happens they leak like a mutha!...Just a thought.

shortbed70 · 08-31-2012, 10:53 PM

Oh yea got all the topend leaks fixed now just a small oil pan gasket leak to worry about. Thanks for checking out my build... More to come this winter! New engine I believe!!!

Well motor is out sitting on the stand and stared tearing it down. Looks like I have found a small figment issues with the patriot heads. Need to run a bigger bead of sealant across the front and back of block. Still undecided if I'm going to stay with the small block or go with the 454.
Posted via Mobile Device don't know why te pic is that way but this is it painted again just incase it goes back in.

shortbed70 · 09-25-2012, 09:37 PM

Well awaiting parts so figure I would post a few pics of a truck I painted awhile back. Makes me want to paint mine...cleared,cut and buffed! Never done a two tone with a painted stripe! Put wheel arches in the bed and modified the fronts to take the eyebrow look out. Custom black with some red pearl and torch red with silver stripe. Painted in a two car garage...

Here's my motor as of today... Awaiting parts. Had some issues with the red so decided to go with cast iron gray for something different

Still waiting on waterpump and intake gaskets but here it is as of today. My wallets lighter but hopefully these parts will fix my leaking issues. The vortec stuff fits so much better!!!

I love the truck but are you going to put the front bumper on? And can you paint the headlight trim the color of the grill. These 2 things stand out like a sore thumb.
Posted via Mobile Device

shortbed70 · 10-31-2012, 09:11 AM

Well I am getting a bumper sooner or later and the headlight trim is going to be painted also sooner or later... Still need interior,bed wood and some other odd and ends but the money issue is killing me.
