Re: LFD's low buck truck build!
I've had hei's run great anywhere between 8 and 12 degrees just depends on the engine
also i've been told there is a difference for altitude but that could be just a rumor. I always start at 8 and work from there Frank

Re: LFD's low buck truck build!
Here is the link to my WTB thread, it has detailed pics of my issues.... I just found that my floor has holes on the driver side below the clutch and above the seam too... that soundproofing seems to be hell on the floors... where the soundproofing survived is the only area that rusted through... New York truck so I can't complain I guess...thanks..

Re: LFD's low buck truck build!
Great project. I'm still finding things in boxes that I got with my basket case. My engine was supposed to be good too but I ended up building a new one. Giving away not needed old parts for free may just start a trend around here. I know I'll have a bunch when I'm done.
Tom

Re: LFD's low buck truck build!
do you think it might be easier if I just weld some flat panels into those spots?

Re: LFD's low buck truck build!
If you decide to ship, I could use the center cross member( where the trailing arms attach). Also, you mention that you are shortening your longbed. Are you going to shorten the bedsides as well or just the floor? I sure would like to see how you would shorten the sides, so I could see the right way to do it before I cut mine. It would fit in with the budget theam as well. Great thread.

Re: LFD's low buck truck build!
I could use 10" of frame length under the cab, both sides. I have some plans for the future.

Re: LFD's low buck truck build!
I could use the front 8" or so of the frame. The little section in front of the core support mount. A PO cut mine to install a homemade rollpan. Happy to pay shipping if you change your mind and decide to ship. Ship them with the slider window to jimmy dean? we are about 20 miles apart.
Thanks Jason |

Re: LFD's low buck truck build!
Dam summit is fast less then 24hrs from order to my front portch And thanks to those who posted or sent PM's for cheaper HEI's but $100 for a new better than stock HEI complete was worth it to me. o guys if you are on a nickle and dime budget know you can find them for about $60 +- for a rebuilt from other places. For me piece of mind knowing it is all new is a good thing.
I almost for got $83 to the wonderfull state of Cali. for sales tax and reg. Kevin LFD Inc. Total $440.34 and 14hrs Last edited by Rokcrln; 01-20-2007 at 02:39 AM. |

Re: LFD's low buck truck build!
If the rear crossmember is nice I can have my brother pick it up. He goes between Big Bar and Martinez regularly. Mine look like it was used to jack up a fully loaded camper special but it is a shortbed.
Let me know so I can let him know - thanks - Bob
