oh yea I understand that , had mine out of the garage today , only need windshield and inner fender and I can get it on the pavement !

baclay9 · 08-28-2011, 09:50 PM

Now it is time to start tearing it apart for paint.

Oh also, I shredded a brand new Delco alternator while breaking the cam in. plastic just started shooting out of the housing. I don't know what was up with that.

carguy499 · 08-28-2011, 10:25 PM

nice lookin project gonna part out my 90 silverado burb to do the same thing

baclay9 · 08-30-2011, 06:54 AM

Here is my rendering just finished up by Turbo Joe. He did an awesome job. I highly recommend him if you are in the market.

That looks good , I like it everybody should have 1 of these done !

scotts62 · 08-30-2011, 09:54 AM

Wow man that is going to look good!

baclay9 · 08-30-2011, 09:58 PM

Got my headers put on today. I have an appointment to get exhaust put on it Thursday. I will get some pics of it then.

Also, The Sanderson BB8 headers are suppose to be a direct bolt on for our trucks with a BB. The driver side went on with no issues. Passenger side needed a little clearancing on the motor mount bracket and I had to trim a ear off of my turbo 400. No big deal but wanted to get the info out there.

JohnC · 08-31-2011, 09:06 AM

sounds good man, and the rendering looks sweet as well!

baclay9 · 09-01-2011, 07:22 PM

Got the exhaust put on today. He did an awesome job! I am very happy with the way everything came out. Everything is inside the frame rails incase I ever decide to bag it and it is nice and neat.

Here is a pic of the guy that does my exhaust. It caught me funny him standing in my truck to drive it off the trailer.

By claypool782 at 2011-09-01

This is the only shot I got while it was on the lift.

By claypool782 at 2011-09-01

Here are a couple of shots of the engine with the headers on it. I have a 5" filter on it now but I am going to have to drop to a shorter one. This one barely hits my hood.

By claypool782 at 2011-09-01

77BBGMC · 09-01-2011, 11:11 PM

Headers look good! I'm wishing I would've gone with the BB8's. Post a video so we can hear it with the new exhaust.

The whole exhaust system look really good man.....

baclay9 · 09-05-2011, 07:31 AM

Picked this up a couple of days ago. I am going to use the cab on my truck. I actually picked the whole thing up cheaper than it would have been to replace the cab corners, rockers, and floor pans mine needed. It is 100% rust free. It is an 86'. The inside was full of parts too. Got a good gauge bezel, a grill to sell and a set of stock hub caps. Not sure if they are worth anything or not.

scotts62 · 09-05-2011, 10:10 AM

Wow it does look nice and straight!

bradford · 09-05-2011, 10:51 AM

Barclay, you go to work too much.
Dont leave again until this truck is done and you have pics posted.
Thank you.

Clay? Hows it going man? Yep, I have gotten in pretty deep on this one. Starting to see some light at the end of the tunnel though.
