Re: How about some pics of 47-59
Thanks. Had to bail on a 55.1 pickup that I was building, in favor to cart around my new set of twins. We found this one pretty much as you see it. Monte front clip, 454/turbo400, PS,PB,AC,PW. Plan to convert back to sliding windows, get rid of that 300zx hood scoop and touch up a bit. Plans to change the interior as well. Rides awesome.

Re: How about some pics of 47-59
I first posted this about a year ago on this thread here:
http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...335636&page=84 Since then, it's been shortened to a 1/2 ton & had an engine/trans swap & other stuff. Got on the road this week, went to my first meet last night. Got a trophy & lots of likes... - 350 crate, mildly ported, compression bump, comp roller cam & roller lifters, Mallory Dual point, blk hugger headers, tri-power by Ron Kellogg. - Tremec TKO600 5 spd with Hydraulic (master/slave) clutch - 2" drop ...IFS w/coil overs & sway bar. Rear (3:73 Nova Posi) is 2 leaves, coil overs & panhard bar. 4-wheel discs. - PS is T-bird R&P w/modified GM pump (Borgeson) A pleasure to drive...! Build thread at signature. http://i36.photobucket.com/albums/e2...s/Fintrk4a.jpg http://i36.photobucket.com/albums/e2...ts/Fintrk5.jpg http://i36.photobucket.com/albums/e2...ts/Fintrk1.jpg http://i36.photobucket.com/albums/e2...ts/Fintrk6.jpg http://i36.photobucket.com/albums/e2...ts/Fintrk2.jpg http://i36.photobucket.com/albums/e2...ts/Fintrk9.jpg http://i36.photobucket.com/albums/e2...ts/Fintrk8.jpg http://i36.photobucket.com/albums/e2...s/Fintrk13.jpg |

Hampshire that is just beautiful, sexy, love the sage green one tone. and the simplicity of the interior. Well done!! Inspired!

Re: How about some pics of 47-59
...thanks, man - this green is a tough color to photograph - lots of + comments on the color at meets. I probably have it a little dark here...

Re: How about some pics of 47-59
I like green trucks and TKO 600
You will enjoy the ride,but I might add after 40 or 50,000 miles you will wonder why you have a five speed !! Your truck is now good for another fifty years, enjoy !!!! |
Re: How about some pics of 47-59
Okay Hampshire, LOVE the truck. Everything about it but I've gotta ask about the insulated drinking bottle - are you using it for a radiator overflow or what?
|
Re: How about some pics of 47-59
funny, I was wondering the same thing.

Love the color and the rim contrast with the ribbed beauty rings. I plan to buy a set of steelies with the rings as alternates to my old Torq Thrusts. Love the three two's - that's SO era-correct. My dad had an AD in the same color though with primer spots and later replaced it with another AD in deep green with lots of chrome. I'd have one too except he replaced that one with a '59 Fleetside long bed I "helped" him swap a 283 into and later a 348... which is why I have a TF but I could happily have an AD. Congrats! |

After 5 years and sitting in the corner for 4 years It's about done and I'd love to show you some pics.
I have a really old build thread in here somewhere. It's all built on a 98 C5 Vette. Canyon bench seat, Vintage Air, PW, 700 watt Kicker 7 channel amp, leather, etc. Here's what I cam up with. |
Re: How about some pics of 47-59
GREAT looking truck.
It's entirely on a C5 chassis or you adapted C5 IFS & IRS to the stock frame? Curious because I couldn't access your link. |

Re: How about some pics of 47-59
Here is a project I bought last year from Arkansas, it is all original (minus the finish I put over the paint). Finally started doing some work to it and will hopefully be running and driving in the next week or so.

Do you mind telling me WHICH Comp Cam grind you went with? I just have a little 283 with 350TH tranny but an Edelbrock dual plane manifold, Pertronix ignition, headers etc. and it doesn't provide enough vacuum to run a vacuum booster for power brakes but I see your does, presumably. |
