Thanks Shane

I would dig to have you as a neighbor. I really do enjoy driving it. Here is a pic from a few weeks ago near Hunington beach, my third trip to CA. In the truck.

Had a great weekend with my family and friends at the Henderson Super Run. There were over a 1,000 awesome cars and trucks on display, and I took home a sweet award!

Thanks Mike! I definitely enjoy driving it. My son wants me to pick him up from football practice every day lol. It's really cool to see a lot of us enjoying them from the tear down stages to the driving stage.

Wow!!! I just read all 32 pages of this thread and what a build and great job on the truck! Definitely inspiring for me to start back in on my truck since it has been sitting for the past 2 years. Glad to see you're getting great use out of it!

Thanks Joe for taking the time to read through my build. I don't think it will ever be done lol.

Awesome build thread.
You have your front wheels placed perfect. Did your suspension change your hub offset? Curious on the backspace of your wheel and tire combo and if you have any rub at that ride height.

sourkraut · 07-19-2017, 10:52 PM

do you by chance have any numbers for the trans crossmember? look at cpp and they only have round ones. like the sq/rectangle like you have.
do you have it solid mounted or have a flexible mount between the two?
one last thing could you take some measurements of the crossmember for me if it is not too much of a bother. might just fab one if i can't find the square one.
thanks in advance

trkfrk · 03-24-2019, 09:54 PM

I haven’t logged onto the site for a while and thought I would say hello to everyone. I have been enjoying my truck and cruising it every chance I get. This site was a huge motivator while I was doing my frame off.

Qknf4u69 · 03-25-2019, 11:05 PM

Hi Mark,

I live in the Vegas area and would love to know who's your paint guy, you both did a great job.

Reading your build has given me hope that I may get to drive my truck someday too.

Thanks,

Steve

Steve, I just cleared my PM box it was full. PM me and I will give you his number. He’s a good friend and does awesome work and is affordable.

TA_C10 · 03-27-2019, 02:48 PM

Great build! I sent a PM today. I also wondered if you could elaborate on your vintage air part numbers for everything and your engine accessory bracket system. I have the stock GEN III truck LM7 engine and am trying to find out if your system will work the same on my truck.

Thanks in advance.

Thanks in advance.

I ordered the standard kit for our trucks from vintage air. When you order the system just ask for LS compressor bracket. If you plan on running your lines like I did just plan on making several trips to your local A/C supplier for fittings because you wont use very much that came with the kit. It’s a pain in the a$$ but well worth it. I get alot of compliment’s on how clean my engine bay and how clean the A/C looks. Good luck

Low Elco · 04-15-2019, 08:18 AM

Great build! I'm very interested in your AC routing, how did you deal with the inner wall to the cowl? The outer is easy, Panel over the big hole, but you have to go through the inner to get to it. If you just blow it open, then you'open to the air. I'd love to get a detail pic of the inside. I'm preparing to do the same thing and was pondering this very thing over the weekend. Thanks for any help you can give.
