Hi again to all,
i think it is better to start a new thread, because i can´t change the title-name of my older one ("Badly needed..).

Last weekend i was on my first meeting with the chassis that we attached on Friday...and the interest and feedback of the visitors to the fair was great!!

here are the pictures...i will keep you up-to-date ;-)

Greetings from germany,
-Robin-

That is freaking awesome!!!!!! I am about to do the same thing with mine. I have been searching for a photo like this to see how well the Gen III stuff fits in the framerails. Man I need to ask you so many questions.

solidaxel · 04-23-2008, 12:25 AM

I would like to see the exhaust maniflods and the Rad. and core support installed along with the steering column and shaft

jchav62 · 04-23-2008, 01:09 AM

Beautiful!

Daniel U · 04-23-2008, 06:42 PM

Looks like she will squat down pretty low! Congrats on a nice start.

solidaxel · 04-23-2008, 11:52 PM

That is a work of art I hope you can find the courage to drive when you finish. Keep us updated on your progress

GRIMSS · 04-24-2008, 03:16 AM

Man that is sweet. What color is that?

1956cameo · 04-24-2008, 03:30 AM

Wow! That is a cool set up. So is that truck going to flex its muscles on the Autobahn?(hope I spelled that correctly)

Tri5Nerd · 04-24-2008, 05:29 AM

Sweeeeet! I love it... Is that a stock LS2 engine or is it modified?
I have one issue with the setup, you should replace the crank pulley with a 25% underdrive pulley which would make it look better and also give an additional 5 RWHP, but damn, that's sweet. can't wait to see the rest of the build, please post more pics. We love pictures.

snoopy0775 · 04-28-2008, 07:46 AM

Hi again,
can anybody tell me which kind of headers fits between engine and frame on my truck? Can you name a company where i can get it from..or must i create my own headers?

Thanks for answer...nice greetings from germany....and again sorry for my bad english.

-Robin-

PS: next pictures will follow in a few weeks

Bishops Trucks · 04-28-2008, 08:51 AM

I used Sanderson cast iron headers with a ceramic coating:

Here's a pic of my engine bay:

solidaxel · 04-29-2008, 04:41 AM

Daniel U, he is using a LS engine, headers like yours will not fit his heads.
That was one of the questions I have also.

**Hart_Rod** · 04-29-2008, 04:50 AM

Your truck looks awesome! Well at least the chassis,

. These are the headers I used on my 69 Suburban, but looks like they might work for you too.

Sorry, I should've posted that my Gen I block with TPI is much different than the LS? GTO motor. He may have to notch his chassis or inner fenders if he keeps the newer style motor.
HartRod, are those Doug Thorley's?

jkaylor68gmc · 04-29-2008, 08:06 PM

I think that Street and Performance would be the best solution. They should have a block hugger style header for the LS, I have seen them everywhere but can't figure out where.

snoopy0775 · 04-29-2008, 10:02 PM

ok...thanks to all for the these helpful infos....i will ask around -> street&performance, doug thorley, stainlessworks..etc...and will keep you up-to-date as soon as possible ;-)
THANKS AGAIN...i like this community !!..
Bye-Robin

CAL 58 GMC · 04-30-2008, 03:30 AM

Nice work on the chassis!! I can what to see what the rest of the truck is going to look like! And by the way welcome!
