[67cheby]

I was at Kenny davis Hot Rods shop the other night and there were several high dollar rods running the same set up !

the fan is the 550 horse up front that is dragging that "little" cooler down the highway... that should provide plenty of airflow. trust me it's working!

ya, here are some more tease pics
once engine and trans were in, turned my attention to getting the driveshaft made, and the exhaust made too, so the chassis would be complete
the driveshaft is 3.5" steel, .083 wall, with HD spicer ujoints....it fits like a glove....then i installed the headers, and built the 3" mandrul exhaust, with moroso spirial flow mufflers, once it was built, i took it and got is ceramic coated....

[67cheby]

Sweet, can you give me an idea of what it costs to have the exhaust coated ?

ya, i got a deal with a local guy, (about 30 miles north of me) and it costed a little under 200$... it looks great, he did a great job..... that was for the pipes only, not the headers, as the headers were already coated.

[mad2rass]

Beautiful build,you have mad skills,loving it.

[68GMCCustom]

that looks great!

presents a question tho in my mind....maybes its just the angles of the shot...but looks like the turndowns are a little too turned down? I mean, are they pointing downward enough to cause a dust cloud when you start it/rev it up? Especially on chalky/sandy roads? I had one once that did that...not for long tho.

[killer71]

The angle is as appears and I appreciate your criticism but unlike your truck this one hasn't seen a sandy chalky road and probably won't! If you wanna review the build up you most likely will determine that this truck isn't a daily like the one the one you had that travelled the chalky sandy roads! And in case you were curious the transmission cooler continues to work awesome just as the other 20-30 we've used!

the angle of the tips were designed so that with the truck at full upward suspension travel, it would clear the rear axle housing, shooting the exhaust under the axle, rather then directly at the axle....in the pics keep in mind that the suspension is fully deflated..
Also like killer says, i dont think this will be driven down to many gravel roads.

dang! I feel like I've hit a nerve or something. take a breath...please....there was no harm meant!

criticism? really? I don't think I've ever meant to "criticize" one thing that I've seen 68 short step do...at least if it sounded that way it wasn't meant to. If I wanna review the build? Been doing that since I found it months ago and I am fully aware of what type of build this is...and who's it is. That's the exact reason I made the comment I made....in an effort to help "the owner" of this sweet eye candy to keep it clean...as you don't have to be on a road of dirt...to encounter it.

and my question about the cooler was a valid one. it just doesn't look up to the task of cooling a transmission all by itself but evidently with those type of coolers... looks can be misleading.

if you don't ask questions...you don't learn the answers. Doesn't mean you're trying to criticize. sorry if I upset anyone...never intended to.

[killer71]

Oh, you didn't hit a nerve, continue to ask all the "questions" you'd like, as there much appreciated but the owner has the keeping it clean part down (that's the easy part). I'm sorry you continue to have reservations about the cooler and only hope you find an efficient one that works for you. Take my word for it no short cuts were taken on this build..hope that assures ya and maybe you can see it directly at a show coming your way! Thanks!

LMAO!!! Hey now! just because I will be a Dr by day does not mean I forget where I came from or will mind getting my hands greasy by night and on days off and or when I will be sleeping in the shop because the wife kicked my ass out of bed!... And besides I will always support the forum, and help others on here when I can with the knowledge I do have, and will always share my builds and hope to inspire others in the same way you have. And If I got paged DR. Longbed at the clinic, I would definitely come running because there would probably be a sweet truck outside that I would need to check out! Common now I still have my priorities

[67cheby]

LOL....i am the BROKEST BALLA you will ever meet, i am borrowing a buddies shop to start my next build ! LOL

[killer71]

You may be bent...but you ain't broke, if you starting anutha build!
