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.

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

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.

djracer · 04-18-2006, 08:05 AM

system one would be best but a/c, wix, purolater anything but a FRAM!

local13hutch · 04-19-2006, 04:52 AM

You are giving me inspiration, After seeing your handy work I'm hittin my garage first thing in the morning. looks great keep it up. local13hutch.out

**Yukon Jack** · 04-19-2006, 09:31 AM

Cool to see new progress pics. Looking killer!

I definitely vote for the correct era stepside bed.

*FormerMember* · 04-19-2006, 10:00 AM

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

Might be the way for me to go.

1969 C/K CST · 04-19-2006, 11:31 AM

Nice transformation. You do good work.

jay-dawg · 04-20-2006, 11:04 AM

Progress looks great. One question...

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

mike nutt · 04-20-2006, 11:55 AM

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

mike nutt · 04-22-2006, 06:45 PM

the valve covers are painted and a little more progress on the engine

**Hart_Rod** · 04-22-2006, 07:09 PM

As nice as that looks, are you sure you're going to wanna fire it up?!

texascowboy593 · 04-22-2006, 07:16 PM

Sweet... that's all I can say... Sweet!!!

71/454 · 04-22-2006, 07:24 PM

Just curious, are you running a power brake booster? Do your valve covers fit ok, they are "tall" ones right? Do you have the motor lowered as well? I'm curious because I want to run a set of tall covers on my bbc so I can run rollers and am concerned about clearance. By the way really really nice work.

71/454 , i'm not running power brakes, the 11" boaster will not clear the valve covers. a 7" or 8" boaster would work . my motor sit a little higher than stock with the z"d frame and lowered motor.

*72CSTC5* · 04-22-2006, 07:25 PM

Dude slow down a little bit, you are making the rest of us look really bad. LOL!! Looking good, great progress.

71/454 · 04-23-2006, 08:49 PM

Thanks. Was just about to buy the covers too!

djracer · 04-23-2006, 10:55 PM

looks sweet mike!

bcubed · 05-12-2006, 04:22 PM

Looks good Mike, alot different since the last time I saw it. Really like those valve covers and the Boyd wheels look great on it

mike nutt · 05-26-2006, 09:30 PM
