You aquire the talent by practice. Granted some folks are more gifted by nature, but if you have the desire to modify things start small and learn as you go...

Re: progress pictures

the frame is z'd right behind the core support annd right in front of the cab. the complete suspension is raised as one unit ,custom motor mounts were used to lower the motor down . the motor and trans were pre fit with exaust to make sure evrey thing fit .once the bed is complete the whole truck has to come back apart for the last time.

Re: progress pictures

Mike it looks good in the pics but better in person! If you plan on keeping the fat motor through that ragged fram filter in the trash!

DEFINATELY the original stepside... I don't like the new stepsides on our trucks, but then again, it's your truck so it's your call.

Re: progress pictures

Mike,
Looks amazing man. Got a couple of questions.
1.) What's the part number or application on the headers? I see they are hedman 3/4 length. Getting ready to find something for my 67 w/ 454. Looks like you had to do a little trimming on the frame. Do you think that would of been an issue if you didn't need to lower the motor?

2.) Those valve cover look awesome!!!! What...when...where...how??? More info, please.

thanks

kevncar, the headers are the heddman elite series ,i think they were 69 camero big block shortys , i have the part number but i'll have to find it for you,and yes my opinion is that they will fit the stock chassis set up with minimal mods to the frame. the valve covers are from EDDY MARINE, they are a marine aftermarket company , i got lucky on these , there was a boat sales place here local going out of busness and picked them up for $10.00, they are aluminum and were polished but these will be painted with a little air brush work

Cool to see new progress pics. Looking killer!

I definitely vote for the correct era stepside bed.

What motor mounts are you using?

I have the 72 BBC mounts and the same headers. Right now, the driver's side header is hitting the frame side of the mount.

I have the tubular motor mounts from performance online.com. Do they look like they will have the same problem you're having with the stock mounts?

Re: progress pictures

No, the stock mount has a reinforcing ridge that is interfering with the header.

Might be the way for me to go.

Re: progress pictures

Progress looks great. One question...

Why did you put the square piece on the crossmember? Is there clearance problems with the cab?

Re: progress pictures

jay_dawg , the square tube was used to gain clearance for the drive shaft, the transmission was raised to level the engine after the frame Z
