Sweet looking truck, and sounds pretty sick too. You're gonna make alot of people jealous when you roll up in that truck.

Good luck.

-Sam.

Thanks man, I hope to be rollin' into school and laying down the rubber pretty soon

HA yes I remember you, your Camaro is awesome. So is your new project

I love the way the exhaust exits the back. Looks killer. Might look even cooler if it came out in the notch in the bumper where your plate goes. Of course, then you'd have to find another place for your plate.

that brake kit is not the cpp one is it??

nice project. last year for my senior project i was gunna do air ride on my truck but juyst ended up building a deck. :/

LuckyHenriksen · 09-06-2008, 03:57 AM

No all of the stuff I have is from POL (performance online). Ya i hope it turns out good, everyone at school is paitently waiting the unveiling.

any pics of the rotors?

LuckyHenriksen · 09-07-2008, 02:32 AM

I'll get some more when I put it all together.

LuckyHenriksen · 09-14-2008, 08:30 PM

Finally got the new springs in, and the spindles and everything installed. The new ride height looks much better.

Next is an alignment job and then we hit the road.
Im gonna look for some trim rings and maybe hubcaps or something to spice up the wheels a bit. Any ideas on what I could do to make them look nicer?

**steelhorse** · 09-15-2008, 08:53 PM

Are you planning on putting the chrome trim in the grill?

LuckyHenriksen · 09-15-2008, 09:19 PM

Ya I have new trim and a chevy symbol to go in the grille. I just have to figure out how those stupid clip things work

69ROTROD · 09-16-2008, 09:21 AM

Paint 'em. My brother powder coated his for his '67 and they turned out pretty sharp. His truck is blue and he went with black rims...looked pretty cool. We aren't big chrome guys though.

Riveted1 · 09-16-2008, 09:37 AM

Lookin good!

LuckyHenriksen · 09-18-2008, 07:48 PM

So my trans swap turned out good, but my TH400 isnt shifting. It just winds up high in first. If I stomp it to the floor it shifts. What could be wrong? I dont have any vaccum lines or anything hooked up to it yet. What all do I need to do to make it shift?

lytemup454 · 09-18-2008, 11:10 PM

hook up the vacume line . I'd bet you a dollar to a dime that your problem. nice build by the way!

LuckyHenriksen · 09-18-2008, 11:20 PM

Thanks! What does the vaccum line hook to? Is it the one that comes off that servo thingy on the side of the trans?

Riveted1 · 09-19-2008, 02:05 AM

Yep. That's your vacuum modulator.

LuckyHenriksen · 09-19-2008, 09:36 AM

Sweet. What does the other end connect to

chevy_mike · 09-19-2008, 10:32 AM

It connects to a port from the intake manifold. If I remember how mine is setup, the same place you would hook the power brake booster to, there is a tee fitting that has PB and trans connection. If you never had a T350 ro T400 tranny, then you might not have the nipple off the tee for the connection.
