1971 c10 stepside

[CC69Rat]

I was really just playin around man .. but .. If you're gonna be a bear, be a Grizzly!

Seriously ?? Are you considering it? I don't know if I have ever seen one personally (boosted LSx in a C10) It's probably out there but man you talk about drawing a crowd at a show !! I'd sure be drooling on it.

I'd like to have a setup for my truck too, .. ! hint .. Umm.. That would be a great idea! hint ..

[big_al_71]

I see another build like this in your future.......

[raull]

it does not look simple but for some reason i dont ever learn and keep complicating my life with these builds , i never go to shows i just build for my own satisfaction , i'm going to keep researching and lets see what happens ,
im on the fence still , procharger its simpler , but yes twin t's big WOW factor for sure

[VA72C10]

Twin turbos for the win

[raull]

wow chad see what you started , lol

[raull]

Wow you didn't waste any time on the decision to run twin turbos lol. It is going to be simply spectacular. If you don't mind I will live vicariously through you.

What the hell... I go to the gym and I come home to this!! Lol. Keep it simple man. Then you can build another truck for almost what you will have in that motor. Or one call to Justin at Scotts and order a front and rear super slam and let's roll!!!

thanks bennett for teaching the spanish man a new word today (vicariously) i actually had to look it up , still trying to pronaunce it , lol
and juan relax i have to complicate things a little , if not this build thread will be over too soon then what

[jmedero]

lol. I really just wishing they would find there way into my engine bay!!

Here is another pic of the Nova. Take it easy on me it was my first full blown build. I painted it with help of a guy that I know. The guy that did the photos is out of Miami Beach. We have been friends for a long time. His name is Christopher Knight.

[raull]

niiiiiiiiiiiiiice !!!!!!! love novas too, something is missing though , haha

[jmedero]

lol. I always wanted a nova from when I was 7. I grew up on the west side of Chicago. My dad a hot rodder and street racer. I remember going out with my dad and his boys. His best friend Victor had a 68 that was bad ass. I watched him kill every car he went up against. Since then I always said I would own one. Now I just have to make mine fast..... LOL.

[raull]

u dont need too much horsepower on the car or trucks, once you reach a certain level, all you're going to be doing its burning rubber , lets face it , street slicks are ugly on these trucks because of the way we build them , low stance that is , so take it from me at 640 rwh thats all i do , smoke my pretty nitto tires , dont get me wrong its fun but you can do the same in the 300+ hp range

[VA72C10]

cool, i remember when big al showed us the miranda built fraternal twin

[raull]

ok juan you may need juuuust a little more than 300hp to do a rolling burnout like that

[67cheby]

WOW...sweet video !!

[CC69Rat]

I was really just kiddin about the twin turbos. I'm just sayin, with everything you've done to this truck in what 3 weeks ?? I don't think a relatively stock 5.3 would be dropped in it. Didn't mean to catch your wallet on fire.

It would be cool though and the truck fits the theme.

Regardless of what you do under the hood it's going to be awesome I'm sure.

BTW - Have you guys seen the LS valve covers for the GTO ? What if .. (don't steal it!) Someone were to take a dremmel and remove the bottom of the G, and the two top 'bars' off the T ?? It would read C10
Clean them up, paint them engine color maybe ??

Someone may have already thunk it. Would be a cool idea for this truck even.

Later.

TVS by magnacharger custom powdercoated white to match....

way more streetable and cost effective.

I can reffer you to someone for a great price if you need the hookup

I agree, just wish I had it I love seeing pictures of your Camaro that thing is just Gorgeous. I do like the idea of the Magnacharger powder coated white to match your truck but twin turbos is just sick.
