Project 69 Blown Gasser! - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

88fordf150 · 11-21-2009, 12:02 PM

I finally found a Truck for my Big Block! I want to build this truck gasser style. It needs some work but I have nothing but time.

EA69TRK · 11-21-2009, 03:35 PM

thats a nice looking big block so now the question is how big is it. This looks like the start to an intersting build subscribed.

88fordf150 · 11-21-2009, 03:46 PM

454 .030 over with a GM 6-71 blower. The motor has a steel crank , H-beam forged rods, forged pistons and roller rockers with other goodies.

**67cheby** · 11-21-2009, 03:48 PM

WOW that is SWEET !!! gasser , do you mean lifted in the front like the old gasser cars ??

haminator · 11-21-2009, 03:50 PM

That will be cool. I was going to do the same with a 69 long bed, straight axle, white wall slicks and all. Not really from the right era but I think the body style lends itself well to gassers.

88fordf150 · 11-21-2009, 05:35 PM

Straight axle , ET front spoked wheels and white walls out back on mags. The 69 is a little passed the era but what the hell , if I comes out like the picture I see in my head it should be badass.

nastyc10 · 11-21-2009, 07:42 PM

cool build! badass motor!

*vegaschevy* · 11-21-2009, 08:03 PM

bad ass start to a bad ass build

pat 70/71 · 11-22-2009, 12:47 PM

**68350** · 11-22-2009, 03:04 PM

Years ago I had a 88 ford so I started using it as a log in name because every other name I came up was taken. I wondered how long it would be before someone picked up on that. lol

Sinister · 11-23-2009, 05:57 PM

Subscribed. I'm drooling over that motor. Bada$$.

monte0185 · 11-23-2009, 07:40 PM

Oh I am so jealous!! I love the motor and the supercharger looks sweet!! Gonna have to watch this.

FRENCHBLUE72 · 11-24-2009, 08:40 PM

B!tchen cant wait to see this one going...

88fordf150 · 11-28-2009, 01:49 PM

Well I made it down to the frame! Maybe now I can get it outside and get it power washed before it snows!
A few things I discovered along the way, 1) A cutting torch is a must have. 2) Air tools make life so much easier. 3) I didn't know these fenders had so many bolts! 4) Taking the cab off with a engine puller by yourself is still a pain.

Anyone from michigan looking for a 68 307?

1LoC10 · 11-28-2009, 02:46 PM

sweet project..... this guy was doing one too, not sure if it ever got done

88fordf150 · 08-19-2010, 08:29 PM

It's been slow going but I did get alittle done. Frame sand blasted and sprayed with Summit Racings Frame coating, front end rebuilt, Power coated springs and disk brake conversion.

nuke1 · 08-20-2010, 12:50 PM

Nice build, great engine, sweet looking frame now, but what happened to the strait axle idea?

I gave it some thought and with the driving I will be doing and the roads around here I better stay with something that handles a little better.

88fordf150 · 09-11-2010, 03:45 PM

Picked up some new wheels and tires, Fronts are launcher wheels by Rocket 15x4.5 and the backs are a remake of Halibrands 15x10. I still have to finish up the rearend , waiting for my axle to get redrilled for 5 on 5 and a posi unit, anyone have one laying around for a 3:73 gear?

67chevy1series · 09-11-2010, 03:52 PM

alright this is lookin good

oldblue1968chevy · 09-11-2010, 08:48 PM

sweet!

why not go with the halibrads up front too?..I like that wheel, good choice!

ps, go to the junkyard and get a sway bar from a 67-87 C-10/20/30 (bigger is better here) paint it and get new moog bushings for it, it'll help a BUNCH

I think the Launcher wheels up front will give more of that wheels up Gasser look.
