Re: Creeping Death
Cleaned up firewall, degreased and repainted front clip. I purposely left the firewall with the overspray from the undercaoting and such...

Re: Creeping Death
Here is how it looked the day I drove it out of the garage... just goes to show, you can clean up an old farm truck, and make it turn heads... even with limited space in a super tiny garage, and on a tight budget...
 I've done more to it now... still need to lower it, and put a decent exhaust on it... but this thing hauls... and has been a fun project over the last 4 years... My shop buddy... my 12 year old Chocolate Lab... Yukon. He worked hard on this project too!  Gary

Engine is the original 1972 4-bolt main 350 (.030 over), stock crank and rods with Speed-pro 10:1 Hyper flattop pistons, Stock 2.02 heads (with some mild porting), Lunati 292 Bracketmaster cam and Lunati lifters, Roller rockers, Cloyes double roller timing chain, Heddman Headers, Edelbrock RPM air-gap, Holley 3310 (750cfm) blueprinted and benchflowed by Lyle Winters racing in Tacoma, WA. There is a stock HEI ignition in it in the pictures... but there is an MSD Pro-billet HEI with rev limiter in it now...Roughly makes 400 hp around 5,600 RPM's. I rebuilt the TH350 myself, and installed a B&M shift kit in it. 2,800 RPM stall converter. Goes pretty quick for a truck. The best part about it is when people hear it they want to see the engine. When I open the hood... people aren't prepared to see an engine that clean in an old work truck... Which is exacxtly the look I was going for.It's one of those projects that will be forever ongoing... always tinkering with it. One of my buddies gave it the nickname "Creeping Death"... after a Metallica song. Thanks for the comments guys... Gary
