Pictures of my truck finally!! - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Here's Magoo finally...New motor about 200 miles old...

64Magoo · 07-14-2008, 11:06 PM

Some more shots

The z-bar barely misses the header tube with no modification!!!

**scotts62** · 07-14-2008, 11:09 PM

Wow man looks good!

Those valve covers look awesome!!

64Magoo · 07-14-2008, 11:14 PM

Its a freshly rebuilt 350 and I have the Victor Jr on it that I'm gonna sell and replace with a PP Crossfire manifold. Its got a Holley 650 Double pumper and I have a K&N filter not installed yet.
Heres the truck when I got it for $1000. It had a perfectly running 283 with 111k on it, 3 on the tree, and it fired up after sitting for over a year first try!

After some work

gulfcoast66 · 07-14-2008, 11:29 PM

Looks good I dig those valve covers. Nice job Chris..

64Magoo · 07-14-2008, 11:38 PM

Yeah the valve covers took me an afternoon to paint, I'm thinking about using some high temp clear on them. I still have to paint the "edelbrock" logo with a brush in silver.

64c20crewcab · 07-15-2008, 12:32 AM

Hey yer truck is lookin GOOD! Makes me want to start workin on mine!

btw, you dont have to paint the logo. Can you polish the fins and logo with a dremel tool?.

harry · 07-15-2008, 01:37 AM

lookin good man.What brand and part # are those headers,did they fit with no mods,want some to fit my smallblock that bolt in and miss my z bar with no mods

64Magoo · 07-15-2008, 02:31 AM

It was a PITA to make the zbar fit around the header tube and a lot of people said it couldn't be done but lo and behold it's on there! They are hooker HOK-2452HKR I got them from summit for $189 but to be honest I would get shorty headers. There is nothing fun about the longtubes, IE limited room around the oil filter, plugs are a pain, etc.

**Chevy Fleetside** · 07-15-2008, 09:50 AM

Well maybe you can drive that thing out to San Jose for the BBQ.. Just start saving up for gas..

Or you can pick up another member and split some of the gas..

Phildooney · 07-15-2008, 11:26 AM

Love the truck. You've done a nice job. Bet it sounds nice with those glass packs under the cab! Visited Bakersfield a few weeks ago but I didn't hear you blasting up the road! Phil.

64Magoo · 07-15-2008, 01:55 PM

I took a couple of video clips to get an exhaust note for you guys, but it didn't come out so well. You can hear the idle well but when I rev it my camera goes into noise cancelling mode so you can't hear how damn loud this thing really is. I will post them anyways.

MacAttack · 07-15-2008, 02:05 PM

That is one sweet - solid ride. Excellent work went into that truck. Very inspirational. Nice pictures - keep them coming!

GreyDX · 07-15-2008, 02:14 PM

Very nice work and great pictures, thanks for posting.

64Magoo · 07-15-2008, 04:19 PM

Here is a couple crappy exhaust clips, like I said this thing is LOUD and the crappy microphone doesn't do it justice...
clicky

clicky

64Magoo · 07-15-2008, 04:20 PM

I need to tighten my belt I know I know...lol

Phildooney · 07-15-2008, 04:32 PM

I can get the idea from the short movies Magoo. Sounds nice and crisp. Are they Cherry Bombs? I fitted a couple of Smithy glass packs to my 66 and mounted them in the same position under the cab. Wakes up the neighbours at 6am, Phil.

64Magoo · 07-15-2008, 04:40 PM

This one guy with a Honda has one of those REALLY sensitive alarms where if you sneeze it goes off and he feels the need to park RIGHT next to me every day.
