Finally Got it back - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

******Well I finally got the pics posted Below******

Well I finally got my truck back, it has been up at my father-inlaws shop for the better part of a month. The rear end has been fitted with an Auburn Pro Series Posi unit, with 3.73 R&P. Got the Rewarder Headers on, and did a Custom 2 1/2" Aluminum Exhaust Running Flowmaster 40's. I will try and get some pics posted this weekend. I used these pics as a template for the exhaust build. I ended mine just before the rear axle.

Looks awesome! Hows that bed coming along?

Stepside65 · 08-15-2008, 08:40 PM

Looks GREAT Derek. Hadn't heard anything on your build in a while. Glad to see it's still going.

joe231 · 08-15-2008, 08:58 PM

i think he said that those aren't pics of his stuff....dunno

Stepside65 · 08-15-2008, 09:12 PM

If i remember the underside of that truck as well as i think i do from the one look i had at it that's his truck. its just very clean underneath unlike mine

62ChevyStep · 08-16-2008, 01:30 AM

Thanks Guys, the bed is coming along, it is still in primer as the rear diff, headers and exhaust needed to be completed first. I have a new Stainless steel gas tank for the rear that needs to be fitted yet. All of this has taken priority over the completion of the bed. Joe is right, and thanks step65 for the compliment on the OC anal way I keep it clean. Those pics are of a custom 60' that the owner Kevin, sent me to use as a template for the exhaust, Mine is Identical (and I will Post Pics) except mine terminates just before the rear axle.

The custom Exhaust guy my father-in law sent me to matched it bend for bend from the pictures posted here. Pics will be up tommorrow

Stepside65 · 08-16-2008, 08:59 AM

no problem man. These trucks look great clean and yours is definitely no exception

62ChevyStep · 08-17-2008, 10:28 PM

OK, I think I have this figured out, here are some Pic's and I posted a sound clip/movie of it on you tube:

Dinos63 · 08-17-2008, 10:32 PM

nice work

62ChevyStep · 08-17-2008, 10:33 PM

Here is some more of them, The Engine Bay is the next (next summer) project which will include a New Motor, Radiator, all the BLING etc. Momma only allows one portion of the project a year, so this summer it was (Exhaust, Rear End and Gas Tank)

62ChevyStep · 08-17-2008, 10:38 PM

And the last of them, I know they look like the pipes hang really low, but I am running a static drop, so I wont be laying frame or rockers, and I could only tuck them just so tight, with the 60-62 X-frame.

62ChevyStep · 08-17-2008, 10:42 PM

Thanks Dino! You and many others out on this forum are my inspiration..we have a really talented crew on here.

TimE · 08-17-2008, 10:57 PM

62ChevyStep · 08-18-2008, 10:50 PM

jchav62 · 08-19-2008, 09:14 AM

YOLO · 08-19-2008, 10:46 AM

Dinos63 · 08-19-2008, 08:38 PM

62ChevyStep · 08-20-2008, 01:09 AM

Thanks Dino, I gave the Stepside bed away, I have a short fleet bedd in primer awaiting these other things to be finished before putting it on.

The tank is a custom unit from Ricks Hot Rods in El Paso TX (http://www.rickshotrodshop.com/truck.htm)

62ChevyStep · 08-20-2008, 01:13 AM

Thanks YOLO, your 63' is sick, I could only dream of having a finsihed product as sweet as that. You, Dino and so many others do incredible work, thanks for all the pictures you guys post, helps me to imagine what can be accomplished.

62ChevyStep · 08-20-2008, 01:18 AM

Hey JCHAV62! thanks for the encourgement, sometimes I want it all to be finished, but like so many know, time and money (and the little lady) regulate the flow. Hope all is well in the North.

Stepside65 · 08-21-2008, 09:12 AM

If you still wanna see Derek's old stepside bed you'll have to look at my truck now. Btw thanks again for it man. One of these days i'll buy the proper mounts for it.
