Nice truck! Is your air cleaner cover on upside down?

wbr775 · 12-01-2008, 02:29 PM

yep it is on upside down thats how i got it. It is not the right air cleaner housing for that motor. so i just say it is for my 283stroker

ahhh those were the days. I lived in catson city.. Drove a 70 chevelle as a daily.

sixfour4x4 · 06-20-2009, 01:26 AM

i like what you're doing. I'm trying to find a 2wd frame around here, and have similar plans for my build, but I'm getting rid of my 350 and going with a 327 L76.

wbr775 · 06-21-2009, 04:05 AM

very nice. how low do you wanna go? you can always just get the dropmember and still use the frame you have now and be scrappin on bags. thats what i wanna

do but no$$$$$$ for us poor college kids lol.

sixfour4x4 · 06-21-2009, 10:51 PM

more information on this drop member and what not? my plans are to get it as low as i can. i want to slam it.

wbr775 · 06-22-2009, 02:42 AM

wbr775 · 06-24-2009, 04:27 AM

jason65 · 06-24-2009, 07:30 AM

Ouch!

**Captainfab** · 06-25-2009, 12:02 AM

I've never did understand why GM used that light duty driveshaft and carrier bearing setup. Seems like most guys have trouble with them. I would consider switching to the heavier setup.

1964C10 · 06-25-2009, 12:10 AM

Bummer man! I have the same setup, guess I wont be doing that anytime soon :p

wbr775 · 06-25-2009, 02:47 AM

what is the heavier setup?
