You live close to SpeedwayMotors.com (in Lincoln)
They will send you a catalog.

i use http://www.classicparts.com/ from what i have ordered they are way cheaper than LMC. but that was just my personal experience to each his own. id say give them a look, they seem to have everything im always looking for and usually have pictures of them

I have 5.3 sitting in the garage for it. I am in the process of trying to find a built 4l80e/th400 for it. Next winter I may do a turbo.

I am going to leave the original patina and do a satin clear. This will be a driver.

xpickup · 04-02-2013, 10:24 AM

toeffer, looks like a great project.

toeffer · 04-07-2013, 10:31 PM

So we got a lot done today! Got the 4l80e cleaned up, new flex plate on the 5.3. Slid the motor and transmission in, fits like a glove!

broey · 04-07-2013, 10:37 PM

what a great start! you leaving the paint? please say yes...

toeffer · 04-07-2013, 10:39 PM

The paint is getting a flat clear.. That is all

broey · 04-07-2013, 10:42 PM

yeah, after I said that I read your earlier post. you have all the parts for it that look to be missing?

toeffer · 04-07-2013, 10:46 PM

Mostly everything I think. I have enough extra parts to build a 2nd one if I had another cab/chassis. I got a trailer full of extra parts with the truck when I bought it.

toeffer · 04-17-2013, 08:16 PM

Most of my parts are in, time to start putting the motor together and then reinstall

SCHRUMGMC · 04-17-2013, 10:06 PM

bigguy69 · 04-17-2013, 10:15 PM
