Damien · 01-26-2010, 11:53 AM

That is a really nice picture and the truck should be extremely nice when it all comes together.

kvn1011 · 01-26-2010, 05:49 PM

The ultimate sleeper truck!
Before you lay the paint down, you gotta go out and cruise around!
with the truck looking plain jane, & the LS lurking beneath the hood!
U could beat the brakes off of most of the cars out there! LoL

Agree but the unmistakenly sound of the cam will put me on blast, but I could deny such allegations and say it a spruced-up carb LOL

smokedat · 01-28-2010, 02:35 PM

here a pic of the complete set up

menace121978 · 01-28-2010, 03:02 PM

that is SICK! looks really good man!

STOCKISH · 01-28-2010, 04:10 PM

Couldnt agree more with Dennis. That is one awesome looking engine. Hope you will take all the pretty stuff off before trying to set it in the chassis to avoid any damage.

79gmc5.3 · 01-28-2010, 07:16 PM

All I can say is....................... WOW that is one beautiful setup. Those covers give it a classic look! Keep the pics coming. Nice progress.

yeah that would be a good idea

smokedat · 02-01-2010, 04:14 PM

This is my fuel line set up. I decided to go with a single line filter regulator. I used Jegs braided 6 AN female 2ft. ready made hose. 3/8 and 5/16 tubing with Swagelock compression fittings 2- 3/8 to 6AN males and 2- 5/16 to 6 AN males. At the regulator I used 1- 3/8 and 1- 5/16 Swagelock compresion to compresion fittings and a GM O-ring X 6AN.

smokedat · 02-15-2010, 02:13 PM

No progress on my truck since I been busy finishing off my uncles truck. Cab fire wall and chassi have been painted. We used PPG Atomic Orange (code 83), and PPG 2021 clear. A high gloss on the chassi. We were goin to drop in an LS1 this Sunday but the paint was still sticky, will try again this week end.

smokedat · 02-15-2010, 02:15 PM

few more

STOCKISH · 02-15-2010, 02:22 PM

Looking good. That color looks cool.

glock35ipsc · 02-15-2010, 02:51 PM

I love that color! This is what I was going to paint my 68. I even had a little design figured out that I was going to have airbrushed on a lower corner of the tailgate...... an orange that was split open at the top, with a mushroom cloud coming out of it.

Ger · 02-15-2010, 03:00 PM

Man that egine looks sick, you guys give to many ideas and my bank keeps laughing at me, lol. Keep it up...
