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.

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.

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.

Re: Project 69 Blown Gasser!
 
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.

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

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?

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.

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?

alright this is lookin good

Re: Project 69 Blown Gasser!
 
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.
