Looks nice.How did Street&Perf. treat you?
Where did you get the tank & is the pump in it?

Robert Paul Thomas · 09-30-2009, 09:07 PM

Mark at street and performance is absolutely the best bar none. More than helpful, and his stuff is the best. the T-56 six speed has the shifter relocation and speedo conversion. Gas tank is in pump from early classic. Terry and Mark at ECE are also top drawer. This LS6 has full comp cam valve train 92 mil TB and intake with MSD to fire the 520 HP

Robert Paul Thomas · 09-30-2009, 09:11 PM

Forgot to mention Bill Brown at March did the pulleys, specially made the bottom pulley for the ATI balancer. Another quality guy!!

**too much stuff** · 09-30-2009, 10:05 PM

DANG!!! I knew you said you were doing a nice project and you were collecting all this NOS stuff for it. I can't wait to see it done. Looks great!

Terakilla · 10-01-2009, 08:23 PM

Nice way to spend some real money. in the end youll have a bamf truck for way less than one of these pos cars they make now.

hayhauler71 · 10-01-2009, 08:28 PM

Very nice, Hope you will show us more in the future.

big_al_71 · 10-01-2009, 09:50 PM

wow!!!

Zoomin · 10-01-2009, 10:27 PM

I'll be right back. I'm gonna go push my truck in the ditch.

Nice!

dccarpenter · 10-01-2009, 10:33 PM

Wow, that's awesome. That's the right way to do a swap like that.

Rreemo · 10-01-2009, 11:01 PM

Come on man!! You're making all the rest of us look bad!

Robert Paul Thomas · 10-02-2009, 04:54 AM

If you don't have a build thread going, you need to start one - it looks like you have a great start, and keep us posted!

**SactoJim** · 10-02-2009, 10:35 AM

Speechless......and GREEN with envy!

oldcarfart · 10-02-2009, 11:05 AM

WOW! Why does the rear axle look wide? (large area between tire and framerail)

**michael bustamante** · 10-02-2009, 11:42 AM

would that be a cowl inducted hood possably hiding in that goodmark box?
that is a great chasis!! now im thinking I might have to dissamble mine again before I get much further and give it a nice coat like yours!
also what size rims and tires are you running and great exhaust work!!

Robert Paul Thomas · 10-02-2009, 04:34 PM

Ok, here it goes. Micheal, you are right, it is a goodmark hood, the only none NOS piece going on the truck, with the exception of the door panels, carpet and vintage air.. Rims are American racing torque thrust II 17', 8 on the front 6.5 in the rear.
Rear end is GM original from the factory, Eaton posi with hardened axles,

Robert Paul Thomas · 10-02-2009, 04:39 PM

Sorry that would be 9.5 in the rear

Robert Paul Thomas · 10-02-2009, 04:42 PM

I have about 40 hrs in the exhaust. It started as a magnaflow kit, pass pipe is cut and rotated 13 times to get around tank and panhard bar. No filler rod used, just a tight fit and the TIG

**michael bustamante** · 10-02-2009, 04:42 PM

those are nice wheels. I like that design on our trucks. did you go 5 lug? or stick with the six? I actually had to cut my exhaust, I had it dumping out the rear of the tires like you but I couldnt get the clearance to mount the fuel cell. I wish I had the skills you do to fab up an exhaust like that
