Delmo, if you dont mind my asking, the truck that you started with, what does something like that sell for in CA? just curious cause that is one SOLID pickup!

Delmo · 08-09-2010, 10:29 AM

No problem Gary, I paid 2 G for it. Found it on Craigslist in Modesto. They are still out there I guess. I was looking for a BBW but couldn't resist this one because it was so clean. I'll get some pics up tonite, I started to reassemble.

creep · 08-09-2010, 03:41 PM

That is so bad@$$! I planned on putting 22s on my 63 but was still debating 'cause the roads here in Ohio are horrible and the steelies and whitewalls I have on it now look pretty cool. Seeing your truck swallowing up those wheels has me leaning back towards 22s again. Did you get a set of hood hinges from Nate also?

Delmo · 08-09-2010, 11:32 PM

Thanks man, ya Nate hooked me up with some hinges. I'll get some pics of those goin in. Also my Accuair showed up today, next week is going to be a busy one. Whooohooo.

creep · 08-10-2010, 10:13 AM

Yeah the hinges are really nice. I have a set waiting to go onto my truck. Are you going to use any kind of inner fender?

CAL 58 GMC · 08-10-2010, 01:50 PM

Very nice man! Looks like your doing all the right stuff for sure.

Gary66 · 08-18-2010, 09:36 PM

any updates???

Delmo · 08-19-2010, 12:09 AM

Hey hey, ya I gotta get my fat ass out to the garage and take some pics. The chassis is back together in powdercoat. Just realized that I have 73-87 spindles, so I have to go get some new ones and get them coated. I'll get some pics up in the mornin.

**Captainfab** · 08-19-2010, 12:29 AM

Why do you not want the '73-'87 spindles?

Delmo · 08-19-2010, 01:00 AM

They don't work with the ball joints Nate sends with the PB arms.

edflores · 08-19-2010, 01:44 AM

Aren't new joints cheaper?

Delmo · 08-19-2010, 11:07 AM

Well that's just too easy. I've always wanted a square body, so now I have a set of spindles for one. LOL

OLDIRON69 · 08-19-2010, 11:30 AM

Damn fast work and killer build!

Delmo · 08-21-2010, 09:54 PM

Well I didn't get as much done as I wanted but it's a start. Fresh ring, pinion, bearings and seals. I like having a day off, it's fun.

Alan's Classic · 08-21-2010, 10:20 PM

Man, that is one sharp project!! I like it.

Dinos63 · 08-21-2010, 10:29 PM

Duuuude killer!!!

likaroc13 · 08-22-2010, 12:47 AM

**DPowers** · 08-22-2010, 09:01 AM

61TWUK · 08-22-2010, 10:42 AM

holy crap this is a nice truck I love the color!!! it comepletes it.. are you going to keep it that way?

Delmo · 08-22-2010, 11:26 AM

Thanks guys, ya she is stayin O.G. for sure.

DRTYRAT30 · 08-27-2010, 10:11 PM

Delmo, is your truck a small hump floor or a high? If its a small what do you plan to do for clearance of the bell-housing. Just asking for idea's, mines a small hump floor.

Thanks

Delmo · 08-27-2010, 10:46 PM

Hey bro, mine is a high hump floor. Are you having clearance issues with the small hump? I suppose I would fab up a new tunnel using the original flange if I had. I just assumed I would have tons of room with the high one, hope thats the case. Let me know how you make out.

DRTYRAT30 · 08-28-2010, 12:24 AM

Well i might just look for a high hump section to replace mine to keep it factory looking. If its just a small issue i will cut out and fab a section in. I have'nt got to the drivetrain install yet just trying to prepare.

Thanks man

**Captainfab** · 08-28-2010, 01:12 AM

What trans are you planning to run? I have a TH400 in my Suburban with a small hump. Even though my engine is a little forward of stock, I believe it would fit in the stock location.
