These edelbrocks I hear like no more than 5psi? I plan on installing a AFR gauge to be on the safe side. I'm running the gears that came in the truck ( 3:73 ) but I added a posi unit. I'm sure it will be a tire fryer. Should be an experience seeing how I have never driven a blown anything before.

Just keep a close eye on the fuel press. under wide open throttle , and go easy on the timing. I have to say that once you drive a boosted car nothing else compares !

Whereabouts in Michigan are you located (roughly)?

Sidebar: regarding that SPID label - you may want to spellcheck that before printing a bunch up.

Jackson County about 6 miles from Michigan International Speedway. How about you?

Removed the mid-bearing support & add some welds to the trailing arms today.

67chevy1series · 07-06-2014, 01:56 AM

I'm really considering doing those welds on my trailing arms... I just wonder how much of a difference it will make

There is only about 4 factory spot welds holding them together. I saw a post awhile back where someones had rusted and came apart! I probably should have welded the seam on the top & bottom, I only did the top.

67chevy1series · 07-07-2014, 08:44 AM

wow I always noticed the rivets in the middle but I never counted how many there were... I guess I will break out the arc welder and lay some beads.. Trucks looking good, keep it up

67chevy_hotrod · 07-22-2014, 09:09 PM

Updates?

Not much has happened lately. I'm getting ready to start a new job. The cash flow has been pretty slim here for awhile.

Thanks. It would have to be a case life or death for me to get rid of this truck. I plan to start work back on it real soon! Drive shaft, cab mounts, paint the bottom of floor & fire wall and then cab can go back on for the last time.

88fordf150 · 08-15-2014, 06:13 PM

Started to do some work on the inner & outer roof panels.

88fordf150 · 08-15-2014, 06:14 PM

one more pic.

67chevy1series · 08-15-2014, 08:40 PM

Nice work! Keep the progress coming!

67chevy_hotrod · 08-20-2014, 01:15 AM

Sweet! nice body work too! coming right along man i will tell you you got me so pumped on your build i cannot wait till this thing is tearing up the street!!

**Dieselwrencher** · 08-20-2014, 03:55 PM

Taking that outer roof skin off sure makes that inner panel repair a lot nicer. Great work!

Possmguts · 03-15-2015, 09:10 AM

Im in.

moggey01 · 03-16-2015, 01:13 AM

Nice. Good to see something different . I like it.

88fordf150 · 03-22-2015, 03:35 PM

Test fitted my roof panel today and moved my pedals back 3/4" or so.

jjzepplin · 03-22-2015, 06:22 PM

Nice! How did the roof fit and which brand did you use?
Cool pedal Idea. I am 6-1 and might steal the idea from you...

I don't honestly remember what brand the roof was, but it did fit nicely.

3/4 - 1" off the pedals will surely make a difference.

swamp rat · 03-23-2015, 09:44 PM

Great idea using tie down straps for the roof shell. Subscribed!

88fordf150 · 08-02-2015, 01:02 PM

Finished with the installation of the top. Started body work on the back of the cab. I want to spray the bottom of the cab floor so I can set the cab back on the frame for the last time! I plan on painting the bottom of the cab body color. Not really worried about stone chips and mud seeing how this isn't a daily driver.

88fordf150 · 08-02-2015, 01:04 PM

Also picked up a new 3" driveshaft with solid u-joints.
