Re: Project "Popeye"
I am going to try and play a bit of catch up with you tonight after work. The goal is to get some more sheet metal off mine.

Re: Project "Popeye"
Really nice setup you got there.
How many more horses does the Victor Jr with carb gives over the stock LS6 intake and TB setup if the bottom end is stock? What made you go that route? Tri5

Re: Project "Popeye"
LEEVON, It just seems like everything that you buy is junk. It would also be the very last bolt! Sorry about that.

Re: Project "Popeye"
great build. Did you ever switch to the LS1 oil pan or are you still running the truck pan? do you have any motor mount pics...my 6.0L seems to sit low, espically the pan when I have it air'd down.

Re: Project "Popeye"
I saw this thread a while ago; when you first got it. I thought I was subscribed, but I guess I wasn't. I just found it again. You've been busy.
I thought about doing the trailing arm set up on my '51. Looks like that is working out great for ya.

Re: Project "Popeye"
Yeah, the arms worked out great. I think the ride will be worth it. I've been through your build a few times too, I love the s-10 bed, still considering doing that in Popeye.

Re: Project "Popeye"
I thought about doing the S-10 bed but I decided not to. The pix of that on my build thread are from Bluejeep; he put the S-10 bed in his.

Re: Project "Popeye"
the s-10 bed thing had my curiosity up, so i had to check that out , i think that would be killer on POPEYE, i like it with the tubs in it in case you ever run wider wheels

Re: Project "Popeye"
I might have to do some small tubs, looks like I've only got 1/2 tire clearance at ride height. Surely an S-10 bed can be found cheap.

Re: Project "Popeye"
Thanks I have my moments.Yours has me itchen to start my tube frame truck. I really wish I could sell the 71. I'm just getting tired of it. The only reason I want TBI is something to do more or less. 700r4 should be put together this week. I may try to get it in next weekend.

Re: Project "Popeye"
The transmission is finally in for good and the Hurst shifter cleaned up real nice after a soak in oxalic acid and some soda blasting then a little grease. It shifts nice and smooth, not sloppy like I expected. I also mocked-up the brake booster and decided that I'm going to move it up to the firewall. The brake arm hits the clutch arm and also there is no room for exhaust on that side.
I spent some time yesterday modifying the center crossmember to make room for the driveshaft. Luckily I had some 1/4" plate and was able to cut a section out and fab a hump. I have a driveshaft being made next week. As you can see I have a large but manageable to-do list left for the chassis! This week is brake lines...

Re: Project "Popeye"
Nice thread Leevon...Great work. I'm learning as I lurk on the site. The under frame power brake setup and your exhaust situation is an eye opener. I have a bone stock 55 second generation big window shortbox and plans are formulating, but reading and doing research are going to pay off. I'll keep lurking, and you keep posting pictures...deal? You're son is going to love the truck when it's done!
