I love it...

**GSFMECH** · 08-26-2009, 09:54 PM

Sorry I have not been on in a while, thanks for all the compliments.

aboyer- I have 275-60-15's on the rear with 8" rims and 245-60-15's on the front with 7" rims. I have no tire rub at all, no complaints. I've had it lowered since 2001.

72SHORTBED 72- I'm not sure what you are asking but I think you are talking about the tailgate trim? It is a stock piece that came on the higher trim level trucks, it has screws that hold it on and covers the letters stamped in the tailgate.

Steven, I have that AC blowing cold and have since installed a Performer RPM intake, new valve covers and air breather identical to the ones I had and I finally shelved my points even though I didn't really want to and went with a pertronix ignition.

Thanks again everyone.

Well I have not added anything to this build in a really long time and I have made many changes. I’ll try and catch it up, I should have done this a long time ago. I ran into so many members at Goodguys in Texas and no one knew my truck from the board…. It had been that long. Anyway here are a few shots when I redid my exhaust. The old system drug on everything you passed over so I fabricated a new system to tuck it up higher. My flash went out in the camera so please excuse the dark pics. I bought a new set of Hooker 2" long tube headers for a Chevelle to try and get some ground clearance and it looks like I picked up about 2 to 3". Plus I got rid of the ugly exhaust pipes hanging out underneath. You can see the new tubular crossmember I built plus the holes in the center crossmember for the pipes in these shots.

**GSFMECH** · 04-13-2013, 01:10 AM

I had just started building the exhaust system here so it was only tacked together.

**GSFMECH** · 04-13-2013, 01:11 AM

Here a couple of shots of the exhaust all welded up and painted

**GSFMECH** · 04-13-2013, 01:13 AM

Here are some shots of the mufflers I used

**GSFMECH** · 04-13-2013, 01:15 AM

Random shots after it was installed

**GSFMECH** · 04-13-2013, 01:16 AM

A few more, sorry they are so dark

**GSFMECH** · 04-13-2013, 02:08 AM

Next up was to lower it a little more in the rear. I wanted a set of Coys and I borrowed a buddy mines wheels to test fit. It sat WAY too high in the rear. I bought the CPP C-Notch kit and 2" lowering blocks. I won’t into detail installing the C- notches because there are so many posts already about it on here, but here a few pics while I was doing it.

**GSFMECH** · 04-13-2013, 02:10 AM

OK here it is back on the ground still with the 15” wheels, looks kinda funny without the rake it had for so long

**GSFMECH** · 04-13-2013, 02:12 AM

The new wheels picked it back up almost to where it was, I think I'm a 1/2" lower in the back than I was originally and I have some of my rake back which I like but it's not as much as before which is a good thing. I think it sits just right. These are not the greatest pics but at least you see what it looks like.

northern 85 · 04-13-2013, 07:25 AM

Looks GREAT! How about a vid so we can hear the new pipes!

**Palf70Step** · 04-13-2013, 07:26 AM

I like it. That tri pack manifold is still screaming for ya Mike!

**GSFMECH** · 04-13-2013, 10:05 AM

Bill, you know that's right. There is nothing I would love better but the bucks $$$$$$ are keeping me away.

Zoomin · 04-13-2013, 11:54 AM

Love the new wheels, sweet truck!

Here are a few more things I added, I know I’m missing a lot I did to it over the last couple of years. First was this awesome Pro6Ten compressor. I got tired of fighting the A6 compressors from the parts stores.

**GSFMECH** · 04-13-2013, 09:17 PM

I also changed the radiator out for a new Murray 4-core from O'Riellys (the old one was toast), added a Stewart high flow thermostat, stuffed a 2 speed Deraile fan in between the condensor and the radiator and added an edelbrock aluminum waterpump. The fan is only for the AC while in traffic. This thing is running cool now. I also changed out the carb for a fresher 850. Somewhere along the way I installed a Performer RPM manifold as well.

**GSFMECH** · 04-13-2013, 09:20 PM

I got my new Powermaster 100 amp alternator installed.

**GSFMECH** · 04-13-2013, 09:24 PM

Look what my wife got me, I thought it was cool.

**GSFMECH** · 04-13-2013, 09:26 PM

Next I redid the interior, it was starting to show its age plus I always wanted the hounds tooth upholstery. I had a spare set of buckets so I redid them. I stripped and blasted them, repainted and installed new foams and covers. I also stripped the console down to freshen it up. The old seats went to a new home

**GSFMECH** · 04-13-2013, 09:27 PM

The finished product

**GSFMECH** · 04-13-2013, 09:29 PM

I redyed the seat belts, they were so faded that they were almost green. I took the buckles apart as well and re-sprayed them. I used Rit dye from walmart for the belts themselves and as you can see the results speak for themselves. You can see the comparison next to an old belt.

**GSFMECH** · 04-13-2013, 09:31 PM

Here is the finished interior. New carpet and matching gas tank cover as well.

**GSFMECH** · 04-13-2013, 09:35 PM

A few shots of the truck as it is now.

darkhorse970 · 04-13-2013, 09:53 PM

It is an awesome looking truck, it hauls a$$, and it gets driven quite a bit...what else could any of us wish for?!?!?! I love it Mike!

I had a spare set of buckets so I redid them. I stripped and blasted them, repainted and installed new foams and covers. I also stripped the console down to freshen it up. The old seats went to a new home Attached Images __________________ Mike Castro- 72 SWB.

I took the buckles apart as well and re-sprayed them. I used Rit dye from walmart for the belts themselves and as you can see the results speak for themselves. You can see the comparison next to an old belt. Attached Images __________________ Mike Castro- 72 SWB.
