Without inner fenders

👍👍. Very nice truck

The stickers are the TCI logo, AFR heads logo and the Wilwood logo. I figured if I was going to put stickers on, I'd make them match the gray on everything else.

I haven't driven it in the rain without the fenders yet. I need to get the clearance cut out for the shock towers and put them back in.

Holy cow Matt... It's changed a LOT! Where have I been. I remember when you were talking about the LS swap. She done!

Ok I'm in..."Nasty Sally" 1972 COPO SS/396-C/10 (Custom Optioned Pickup Orsumpthin)...A Chevelle tribute truck? Nope, better because Sally has a bed Chevelle's don't...The motor is an actual 69 L34 SS 396 (350HP) out of a friends 69 SS El Camino. He's owned the car since 1969 and pulled the motor in 75, been disassembled and wrapped in plastic and stored in his basement ever since. He's on his fourth BBC motor now and that El Camino tops the NHRA Pro Mod class and calls Heartland Park home. I thank his wife for making him clean out the basement and selling me the original 396 two years ago. The motor has been bored .060" over to a 408, SpeedPro Forged 25cc Domes, reworked 3964290 closed chambered 98cc heads, CompCam 268H cam, CompCam (nothing radical) forged roller rockers, Weiand 2P-180 #8001 Intake, 800cfm (Cliff Ruggles custom built) Quadrajet. Boss Hogg 10" 3000 stall converter turning a built 350 "SuperTurbo". Beefed up 12-bolt with an Eaton 4:56 Posi. Very well mannered for street and turns a respectable 12 flat if I can get a good light with no head wind. These rich farm kids come around when they get a new tune on their diesels or power adders on their late model rigs to roust the "Old Man in the old Chevy" out for a run. So for the price of one Sportsman Pro I show them how slow they go, take their beer money and me and Sally go home...

**special-K** · 12-30-2017, 10:46 AM

That's just one I found on the internet. If it's a current listing, it's for sale for $13k on the goodguysclassified.com . It's actually a C/20 with dual wheels converted (not factory)

I really like stock looking trucks, but Bowtie468’s has always been one of my favorite custom trucks

Either start a thread in the year forum of your truck's year range or there is an Engine & Drivetrain forum farther on down the message boards page.

1968 C10. Friend of ours was building it and my wife decided she wanted it. She has since lowered it, put a Chevy Performance Crate 350 H.O in it and the new wheels/tires.

Here's my 68 short/wide. It's got a 4.8l/4L80e combo from a 2004 GMC Savana 2500. It's good a 67 cab With a Cadillac dts trunk lid tail light grafted in. Tail lights are Cadillac Srx flipped upside down to match the body lines of the bed. All the paint is aerosol inside and out. The bed cover is made from trailer roof aluminum and 2"x2" angle aluminum. 4-wheel disc brakes, front and rear sway bars, Front lowered 4 inches, airbagged rear.
