Re: How about some pics of 47-59
Like everything about it cept ... the emblems & front & rear lighting choices. Other than that - it's perfect!

Re: How about some pics of 47-59
It's not my style but it's well done. The headlights go better with truck than the tail lights but the ceter third brake light is a stretch. The back window does bring it up to date, great custom truck.

Re: How about some pics of 47-59
Oh should have mentioned, I'd never put a caddy emblem on a TRUCK, let a lone a chevy truck, something that has actually worked and helped pave the way for our country, and others. Caddy is not symbolic with work IMO.

Re: How about some pics of 47-59
Yes, easy. A good friend of mine has a Jeep on 38's with a 4bt and 5 speed who pulls a decent size camper around on the interstate getting around 20mpg.

Re: How about some pics of 47-59
Thanks bluejeep, I am more familar with the 6 I know quite a few performance parts interchange. There are guys putting over 1000 hp to the ground with the 6bt and driving it home with close to 20mpg.
I know this has nothing to do with it but it is fun to watch. http://www.youtube.com/watch?NR=1&v=...ture=endscreen |

Re: How about some pics of 47-59
I Flew north and got my truck about a week ago and set out on the nearly 700 miles to home. We bought it back in January and had a mate sort out a bunch of small issues, and replace the Chev 250 & manual box with a 350 and 700R4. Apart from the engine upgrade, we have also fitted seat belts and burst proof doorlocks.
Truck had to pass our "certification" system before it could legally go for a warrant of fitness and then become legal. Our truck has Jaguar from & rear suspension & steering. I can say the Jag steering setup is about the nicest I have ever driven in a hot rod, and they are dirt cheap to buy now. |

Your photography is killer. It really does the truck justice.
