Thanks for the kind words--hope I can live up to the hype

Stopped by a little slice of heaven today and brought home a treat for the truck; shame I'll have to cut it up...

That is a good looking intake setup. I hear that the flat planes are the way to go for fuel injection because the similar length runners make for a more consistent afr across all cylinders. It is also nice you can use your stock injectors, even though that wont matter when you add boost to it a year after you get the truck up and running again.

... actually, I give it 6 months!.

... your are probably doing it already.

Guys, keep your eyes open on the ls classified section! There is going to be a sweet holly LS intake up for sale soon!

How is it that you're in my brain?

I could keep the intake setup with a turbo...

I am under the impression the injector will run out of flow quickly when you boost it. I could be wrong... happened once...

Nice score on the tailgate!

kehstr · 07-10-2017, 10:56 AM

was that tailgate on KSL? I remember seeing a medium bronze one just like that on there. What are your plans for it if you need to cut it up?

Thanks dudes! I was pretty stoked to find it. I didn't get this one from ksl, but at the classic yard in Ogden.

I'll be using one of the gates to do something similar to this:

mcbassin · 07-10-2017, 11:06 AM

Nice score!

kehstr · 07-17-2017, 10:39 PM

but if you go the supercharger route.....

smbrouss70 · 08-20-2017, 08:55 PM

Glad to see you working on it! Unfortunately, they do get dirty when you drive them...

Good to be finally digging in! I wasn't expecting quite so much filth; guess three years in TN took its toll. I'll get after it with a scrub brush and some dish soap soon enough. I like to work on clean cars...

gringoloco · 08-21-2017, 11:30 PM

Dragged her outside for a pressure washer bath. She looks good with the sun setting, even missing parts. Much more accommodating place to work now--looks so nice it's almost a shame to cut it all out, almost...

gringoloco · 08-21-2017, 11:36 PM

...and a quick mockup of one notch, 'cause I couldn't resist...

gringoloco · 08-26-2017, 10:25 PM

Welp, she's getting naked, slowly. What a tease...

Lots of stuff will be for sale on the parts board, soon. The CPP notches will stay bolted in a bit longer to help hold things together while I pound rivets out of the crossmembers. I hope it all goes back together as easy as it comes apart!

**rustytruck50** · 08-27-2017, 01:08 AM

I love this truck....it just gets better with the passage of time!

Thanks, though I feel like I'm moving backward lately

More "progress" as the framerails are now completely bare and the demons (rivets) have been exorcised! Hovercraft conversion complete; now time to start bolting things back on

SCOTI · 08-28-2017, 09:48 AM

Nicely done buddy. Watching the progress.....

Thanks, Jeff! Kind of enjoying it myself

A few pretty nice pieces I've pulled that will be on the parts board, soon:
