Re: Gabe's truck

Good looking project, what year is it?

If it is a 73-80, I sure hope he doesn't put on a newer (88+) front clip.

Re: Gabe's truck

hmmmm I've never seen sucha beefy belt drive system simply because it revs high. Usually deep groove pulleys do the trick. I like it, though you would think the extra weight of the pulleys would rob a little horsepower.
