Re: What did you do to your truck today?
The Holley 500 is an easy swap. If I can do it anyone can. You will need to get an adapter to bolt it in. I'll try to post some pics a little later.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
Pulled the beds off the trailer flipped them over on a pallet and collected the money for one of them. Put them away and sprayed the bolts with rust penetrating stuff so I can pull the planks off later this week.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
rearranged some of the pins on my engine harness and hooked the battery up to see if I could get her to turn. She turns over nicely. I need to get some new head lights and bulbs so I can check to make sure everything works.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
Layed upder it for a while. Tried to figure out other ways to shorten the frame. Think I got carried away because the new plans are chopping it off behind the cab and fabbing up a new backhalf with C notches and bags.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
Mounted the transmission cooler and cooler lines. Then tried to make the kick-down cable reach and wished I could get it connected to the existing carb on the Inline six... Anybody have a turbo 350 behind a six cylinder and stock one barrel carb???
PLEASE send me a PM with how you hooked up the detent kick-down cable!!

Completed my carb linkage, put my driveshaft together and started it up- just to hear it run.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
I put a new starter in today. I'm alittle scared though. I might have torqued the bolts just a little too much. So far it's workin great.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
Went down to the DMV...and finally registered my truck....
The frickin 'Governator' took $226 of my hard earned money for that thing !! And the tag is only good untill FEB !! Man the lady at the counter real had a hard time...this truck came with the DMV paper all printed up from the guy. However the OG owner donated to charity, then this guy bought it (owns a lot), then I got it. So the pink was signed 3 times, we had 3 transfer forms....it had her going crazy !! Now, I just got it get it running !! So far...that little truck in my avatar has cost me $600 + $226 = $826 ![]() ![]()
