I got more work done on the truck today - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I got the intake bolted down and as you can see in the pictures I kept going. I must say. It was alot of pieces but very fun to put together.

TwiggyTheDrummer · 06-14-2009, 11:14 PM

Beautiful! Let's see some from the side.

What trans are you going to use?

protrash64 · 06-14-2009, 11:33 PM

wasnt that engine red about a week ago???

Looks good, man. I had a 396 for the 'burb and I sold it cuz it was in the way. I have the serp set-up and everything....you're making me wish I kept it now.

Bazooka · 06-15-2009, 12:07 AM

That looks real good

TwiggyTheDrummer · 06-15-2009, 12:24 AM

Nice.

62 short step · 06-15-2009, 08:45 AM

Looks good, love that blue!!

SCOTI · 06-15-2009, 12:39 PM

Looks nice. What's the scoop on the serp set-up? Did you get it from GM or a wrecked truck?

**Chevy Fleetside** · 06-15-2009, 01:12 PM

Ordered it brand new from Summit (yeah I bit the bullet on that one). I figure everything is new and I didn't have to clean anything. it is a GM Performance part. They also have the kit without the A/C compressor.

protrash64 · 06-15-2009, 02:53 PM

Its actually a pretty good deal compared to the aftermarket stuff, IMO.

Agreed. They make some dress up stuff for the a/c comp & pwr steering resevoir that can be painted/slicked. Add a polished/painted/slicked alt & you look good @ 1/2 the cost of the other offerings. You can also add some UD pulleys for a little perf boost too.

The one benefit w/some of the others is they're more compact.

Here is where I am now. And my helper.. I sprayed the primer yesterday.

1964C10 · 06-27-2009, 10:40 AM

Nice truck! Love that color blue!

**Chevy Fleetside** · 06-28-2009, 09:36 AM

I forgot to show a before picture of the firewall from before. I think the new one looks a bit better then the old. I still have the SB sitting on an engine stand. I will probably get another truck to stick it in but as a work truck.

**Captainfab** · 06-28-2009, 11:22 PM

The firewall looks a lot cleaner now. Your whole truck is looking good as well....... and not just because I'm partial to blue.

**ChiefRocka** · 06-28-2009, 11:37 PM

Definately a nice blue and acc set-up !!

Good work John (and Luca)

Alan's Classic · 06-28-2009, 11:37 PM

That is a good color and nice work!!

joe231 · 06-29-2009, 08:16 AM

Dinos63 · 06-29-2009, 10:53 AM
