Anyone know what that brake booster is out of? One of the trucks in his other post has the same style booster.

barn9 · 05-17-2003, 06:00 PM

NICE!!

superchevy · 05-17-2003, 06:11 PM

Taken today at the SuperChevy show at the racetrack in Ennis, south of Dallas. Still going on tomorrow. If you're a chevy lover, you can't miss it.

I've talked to that guy before a couple of yrs ago when that truck was just completed. He used a Master Brakes 4whl disc set-up but it took a couple of tries before the system worked 100% he said. The engine compartment is tits, as is the interior.

Class of 69 · 05-17-2003, 06:56 PM

It is a nice job, but too much "foreign interior" for me. Be interesting to see the heater/AC set up, as it must all be on the inside. Engine compartment looks very clean, with only 4 hoses at the firewall. Appears to take up valuable interior room, but I don't suppose this is a "daily driver" anyway! Notice the "Loose Change" on the rad cover? Way out of my league, if he can build that with spare change!

cruzn72 · 05-17-2003, 07:12 PM

*****in truck!!!!!!!!!!! Nothing like our trucks super low.

krue · 05-17-2003, 07:18 PM

Good looking truck!

XXL · 05-17-2003, 07:26 PM

A couple of questions for anyone who might know... is this the brake booster being hawked by the vendors as the 7" booster??

And... what is the thing at the fuse box? Is that just a cover?

ratrod67 · 05-17-2003, 07:38 PM

Can someone PLEASE lighten the interior pic up? My monitor sux and all I see is a steering wheel and black. I really want to see the T/A seats. I have a set in my 67 Camaro and was wondering what they would look like in a truck. Thanks!!

griesel72 · 05-17-2003, 11:10 PM

any idea how much this guy has in this truck? Pretty cool

sbrban · 05-17-2003, 11:23 PM

The a/c looks to be vintage air set up(street rod) fuse block-yup, a cover,Brake boost-dunno, judging from the set up it's probably a street rod item.Very sano truck!

theo70 · 05-18-2003, 12:07 AM

Yeah, that's the one in Street Trucks...I know because I couldn't seem to turn the page! At my current pace, mine should look like that in 30 years.

brad2 · 05-18-2003, 01:39 AM

Thats the way I like them!

superchevy · 05-18-2003, 09:35 AM

The side molding trim was painted in the middle to look like carbon fiber instead of the factory finish. Pictures don't do this truck justice. It is absolutely gorgeous.

Orence1 · 05-18-2003, 11:02 AM

This may sound like a dumb question, but is it a LWB or a SWB? I can't quite tell from the side/rear angle shot.
