The trucks is really tall almost as tall as you jimmy.

Rollinsqrbdy · 11-06-2009, 08:28 PM

Wow they look sweet. Whats next?

70 beast · 11-06-2009, 10:14 PM

yah. lift wise the trucks got me by an inch but tire wise ill have it by a couple.

whats next...shoot let me consult the page long list i have

getting it running. im still having carb issues. i know the gas tank needs to be flushed. so once i get that flushed then i want to change the intake and get a 4 barrell instead of the 2 barrel it has now. worked on it today alittle just cleaning up the new eaton and sourcing where i can get my rear brake hose.

oh and some dude i guess came by and asked if it was for sale...again.

heres a few pics
the engine bay

how she sits now (front fender horns are coming off)

onlyifihadachevy · 11-06-2009, 10:27 PM

What kind of intake? One better for low end or top end?

70 beast · 11-06-2009, 10:45 PM

an edlebrock i believe. it was for a 350 my pops was rebuilding but i snagged it up for the time being.
i believe itll be better low end. that's what im going for. eventually im either going to do a BBC or a stout 292.

Hoods69BadBowTie · 11-10-2009, 11:16 PM

Nice damn looks killer with the lift and tires. I like it! Keep up the good work man

70 beast · 11-11-2009, 11:06 AM

thanks. no school till Friday so im going to try and find a carb, and see what dana44 4.56 gears cost

70 beast · 11-28-2009, 01:57 PM

as the title says,
did some costmetic alterations yesterday.

cut off the fender horns(?)

heres what came off

heres how it looks now

my girl also painted the inside doors silver. weve decided on a paint sceem. blue/silver inside and dark blue outside.
the black/red will begone soon for a blue primer.

Rollinsqrbdy · 11-28-2009, 03:15 PM

Hey that looks real good bud. What brand of wheels are those?

70 beast · 11-28-2009, 03:52 PM

not real sure. they were on my previous pickup when i bought it. never bothered to ask.
i vaguely remember something my dad said they were...American mags or something. im not 100% sure though. i do recall my dad having a set that looked exactly like them but smaller.

JPCY72 · 11-29-2009, 01:38 PM

When are you putting the front spring hangars on? Im really intrested in this spring swap cause Id like to do that.

onlyifihadachevy · 11-29-2009, 09:50 PM

After since you cut the fenders, it looks really wide. But, still looks great.

im not sure yet. i keep going back and forth on whether to use them on this project or wait and use them on an s15 i wanna build. i know for sure though that there are things that need to be done like crossover before the swap cuz of the added travel you gain with 52s

yah i was pleased with the way it turned out. i like how it gives more room fo hte tires and the way it looks from the from is just bad a$$

70 beast · 12-19-2009, 07:26 PM

not much of a big update but i took the rear bumper off to paint in the tight spots.

also decided to ditch the red on the bottom for solid flat black

and started painting the interior. it'll be a semi metallic silver.

i really wanna run a 427 bbc!

as for the bumper i wanna make a stinger front for it

Wildstreak · 12-24-2009, 09:35 PM

Idk why but I love 427's, I have a 454 that I pulled from my 70ss camaro(not stock 454) and have been deeming about the 427 anniversary crate engine for months lol.

70 beast · 12-24-2009, 09:40 PM

their just bad a$$ in my opinion.

70 beast · 12-29-2009, 12:55 PM

finally found my bag of hardware for the door panels and what not so hopefully this weekend i can put all that back on and get to painting the day and see about changing the intake/carb finally as well

**Yukon Jack** · 12-29-2009, 05:25 PM

Lookin' great! Do you know the brand of the rims?

Burt4x4 · 12-30-2009, 10:39 AM

I love spray paint & BBCs

hehehe
The 454 I have is my first BBC and I'm totaly haveing fun with it

Someday we should wheel! I don't get out nearly as much as I would like too..
Keep the pics a flowin
Oh and I have heard thoes "horns" you cut off called "fangs" more than horns. I would guess horns point up, fangs point down

70 beast · 12-30-2009, 11:42 AM

that makes wayyyyyyy better sense Burt

when i was cutting them off i was trying to figure out what they were and finally settled for horns.

we should definitely go wheeling. this truck should be better than my first one (bbc) on gas

as for the wheels, i haven't remembered to ask my pops what make so ill make a note to ask this weekend. really wish it was done in time for the snow this weekend but there's always next time.

70 beast · 01-02-2010, 12:10 AM

heres a snap shot of the new performer intake
need to get some plugs and it should be ready to button up and test
