Finally get to be in on one of these builds from the start!!......spent the last week reading all of the others. Sucked not being able to comment/voice an opinion on the threads since I was a few years late. Hoping to have a 71 or 72 C10 p/u by this summer to start on but it'll be more on par with Pop's truck. You do this in 3 months and you'll have to change your name to Super Duper Fly....looking forward to this short (but fun) ride. Agree on the Edelbrock removal btw. Have never bought their valve covers just because of that.

Glad to have you along for the ride. As far as the logos. I spent around 700 for the coil covers and the intake. It has a very thick powder coat on it and I just don't want to tare up the finish. I am not building a show truck just a nice driver hammered on the ground. Then up for sale the truck will go.

I'm late to the party but I'm in. Love the build, motor looks great. What did you use to paint the block? I'm in the process of building an LQ9 right now too and have the similar plans. I'm camming it and switching over to a car LS6 intake but was really close to running that same Edelbrock intake. I plan to paint my heads also, I think it looks better that way. I'm interested to see what headers you run with the dropmembers. Love the wheels too.

The original wheels I was going to run are not going to be ran. There has been a change of plans. I of course scuffed the entire block and degreased it. Then tack rag and sealed with metal lock. Allowed it to sit for 2 hrs and then too coated it with satin hot rod flatz burnt orange. I like the end result.

**jkeating1** · 02-05-2015, 10:52 PM

OK--gotta ask-I looked on the Google for "metal lock". No joy. Is that a brand name or what?

OK, what is the change of plans? I too like the wheels that you pictured earlier...

**superflysteiny** · 02-07-2015, 02:07 AM

You guys tell me which wheels you want to see on the truck.

69short · 02-05-2015, 07:50 PM

Looks great Eric!

**superflysteiny** · 02-06-2015, 12:49 AM

Metal lock is a sems product. I only recommend it to etch and lock the metL down. It's hard stuff once it dries and it makes it tough to sand. But it's a great product

moggey01 · 02-06-2015, 05:19 AM

Need more...looks good man.

**superflysteiny** · 02-07-2015, 02:00 AM

Motor is ready to put in the truck.

rwade · 02-07-2015, 02:09 AM

Eric, do the hooker manifolds come that color or did you paint them? If paint, what did you use on them? Motor looks great!

Wade

rwade · 02-07-2015, 02:10 AM

I vote Intros.

They are painted with vht satin black 2500 degree

rwade · 02-07-2015, 02:44 AM

Thanks Eric

smbrouss70 · 02-07-2015, 02:22 AM

I know the Intros are probably a better quality wheel, but they look flat and boring compared to the Gassers. I vote Gassers.

I second this. The 5th picture with the wheel tucked under the bed is by far my favorite. Plus it's a little different then the norm.

I agree, if the Gassers are too much polished, how about a brushed finish on the flat areas of the centers with the rest staying polished?

**superflysteiny** · 02-07-2015, 02:43 AM

Also my plan from the start was to satin door handles bumpers and all the trim
