[QUOTE=La Zona Imagery;6393181]My chrome grill and bumper came in the mail yesterday, so I installed them today. Damn the original bumper bolts were all rusted and frozen. I had to cut them off with a wheel cutter.

Looks great with the chrome wheels, definitely worth the money, x2 on the side trim, more bling the better

What a big difference a chrome gril, bezels and bumper make, well worth it.

Where did you order the parts from? Did they fit good?
Looks great.

The new 355 block with the heads cannibalized from my original 283 block is painted and nearly ready for final assembly and install.

I love the way that looks, I've considered doing the same, what's your plan for the Pcv valve?

My friend and hot rod builder, Chip Quinn here in Phoenix, drilled the back of the manifold and built a baffle underneath. There will be a vent at the fill tube. I would give you more details but I am out of my league. Chip reads this thread and will chime in I am sure.

My buddy and I worked on my air ride. Getting so close to being done.

groundbound64 · 11-30-2013, 01:38 AM

inside bed

mud.man.rj · 11-30-2013, 02:28 AM

Nice work, really tuckin the rears well.

lowlife4life · 11-30-2013, 07:06 AM

Man that looks sick tucked in the step.
Got one box side shortened up so I can start my 4 link and have the wheel entered. Still have a lot of work to make the tire fit properly.

lowlife4life · 11-30-2013, 07:10 AM

Will sit here with no air. And the pinch weld is going off the rocker . Don't see changing a flat to be very fun!

mud.man.rj · 11-30-2013, 03:17 PM

Changing a flat, that is funny, just take the box off. Everything has something about it doesn't it, just like a lifted truck, a give and take, but all fun and cool at the same time.

That's why they're called "run-flats"..

**joedoh** · 11-30-2013, 06:12 PM

make the bed tilt!

I have 31" rear tires, and I was perfectly happy with wingnuts on the bed mounting bolts

the guy building the backhalf decided it should tilt.

19666Trucker · 11-30-2013, 07:26 PM

Got the spot mirrors installed hope this helps with blind spots.

Dillon Rock · 11-30-2013, 08:50 PM

Just hauled a 1/2 cord of wood today in mine, probably the first heavy load that truck's hauled in maybe 10-15 years, lol. Did good too, gonna install my spotlight tomorrow and maybe work on the cab lights later this week.

wjjeeper · 12-01-2013, 12:25 AM

Nothing..... Waiting on parts.

Softpatch · 12-01-2013, 12:49 AM

Wow looking at your guys pictures look like I'm way out of my league.

Just put in a few gallon of fuel in warmed it up worked the heater/ defrost

Hope these are right side up

T2vigil · 12-01-2013, 07:01 PM

I had a long talk with Santa and Tom Langdon and they thought I was good enough for a new Split cast manifold for my 250 along with the new Webber 2 barrel carb with adaptors. This will keep me busy during the Christmas Holidays.

**TJ's Chevy** · 12-01-2013, 08:40 PM

Sat and thought about future plans for it.
