    Donor truck price???

    Alrighty I’ll see what happens. They also have a 1974 c20 454 camper special that is original and also a 1974-3 ish c10 454 all original. None of them run and haven’t for years.

    Donor truck price???

    There is a farmer I used to work for back in the late 80’s and he had an 85 c20. It was his daily driven truck up until about 25 years ago. He started driving a dodge Cummins and the 85 turned into the farm truck. A hired hand didn’t set the brakes on a bobtail grain truck and it rolled back...

    14 bolt 9.5?

    Yeah you would change the pistons and the cam but you would still have 500hp or better.

    14 bolt 9.5?

    I have a buddy of mine that has a 406 with vortec heads in a Chevy luv. On nitrous it ran a 5.60 something 1/8 mile. That complete engine is now for sale carb to pan. MSD distributer and all. It dynoed 610 on motor I think, solid flat tappet cam.

    305 vs 350

    I wish I could invent a time machine and go back to the day that GM decided to put the 305 in trucks. The engineer would get slapped in the back of the head and then get a severe cussing!! Trucks deserve V8 power not this quagmire of an engine. Ford did the same thing with the eco boost. I...

    14 bolt 9.5?

    Oh no this thing was knocking, chirping, squeaking, ticking, it was awesome. I took a video of it but I can’t post it. If the 468 doesn’t work out I’ll do a 383 unless I can find a 400. All I’ve done in the last 20 years was race engines so a street engine will be new. I’m thinking afr...

    14 bolt 9.5?

    The guy I bought the truck from said it was a 305 but I have not ran the numbers yet. Doesn’t matter. I swear this thing made noises I’ve never heard from an engine that still ran. Which means short block is junk plus I refuse to run factory heads. Bolt on after markets are too easy to bolt...

    Replacement-Bedsides for 82, Long bed, with dual square fuel doors

    I’m looking for the same advice. I have an 84 that needs the passenger side. I’ve looked at brothers trucks and LMC. They appear to be complete bed sides which on mine bolt on with exception to the wheel opening which is pinch welded.

    14 bolt 9.5?

    When I bought the truck there was a receipt under the seat from a repair place in Wichita Falls stating the rear differential was replaced. $900 or so. Best I can tell it was a wrecking yard unit. Dirty and oily. The 468 that was for it may not come my way after all. It’s in my dads elco...

    14 bolt 9.5?

    If it already has a locker that might sway the decision to keep it unless I can find a 10.5 with a posi. I don’t care about the ratio so what ever it has is fine. As far as the trans goes my best buddy owns Freak Show performance trans and converters so I get a smoking deal on trans stuff...

    The new guy!

    No worries here. Lol. There were handles on both sides of the cab and 2 more on the damn tailgate. They were the first thing to get removed. I got it stripped down and ready for paint now. I have a video of the engine idling and it knocks, squeaks, rattles and makes noises I’ve never...

    Cylinder Head Decision?

    There are companies like Edelbrock that make top end kits that the heads, cam and intake are matched together. Makes for easy buying. The cam you have is tiny so low end torque is what you will get. I’ve never bought anything from blueprint engines so I have no idea the quality and I’m...
