    Paul's 1972 Truck...

    So we crawl all over the truck out in NE Portland at 7:30pm. Kinda sketchy, but Jesus has a pretty nice house so it wasn't that bad. This truck lived in Washington at the coast from the last registered owners address. Somebody loved this one as well, just look at the bed. The bench seat shows...

    Paul's 1972 Truck...

    Don't get me wrong, it's a decent enough truck. Just not for what he wants and what I am willing to pay. Not my fault he over paid for it.

    Paul's 1972 Truck...

    So in the next week we inquire on a couple of trucks that would be great. Often meeting with no response to the questions.... Then we see this ad for a 1972 truck for $6,500. So Paul contacts Jesus Claudio and they set up a time for us to come and see it. Paul comes to my house so we can...

    Paul's 1972 Truck...

    So my older brother wanted a truck and finally started looking in the usual places. His budget is big enough that it could have been a totally cleaned up and resto modded cruiser if thats what we had found. But those often don't need much done to them and that isn't always the most fun. So our...

    Maxwellvis. A 20 year old with a 1949 Chevrolet truck.

    Not much has gone on with the truck. Well, he put the rest of the exhaust on it as it was overpowering inside the bare cab. We had to wear earplugs as it would resonate horribly. He still needs to put a crossover into the exhaust. But he loves it. For a simple 307, it rips and pulls hard past...

    lowered c30 454 what headers to use

    I will also note that I have a late model mini starter from a 1997 V-8 on the engine. I am not sure if that helps with how easy they went in. We run those starters on all the Chevys in the driveway now.

    lowered c30 454 what headers to use

    Here I am. Yes, I have a set of 1968-1972 Nova headers on my 454 and they fit like champs. I have the SM465 manual transmission and they clear the Z-bar linkage with room. Here is a photo of my dirty gifted to me set of headers from a buddys big block Nova. They went right in from below and...

    1985 K5 keeps breaking starters, help!

    Are you still using the factory big size for the age starter? Or have you stepped up to the mini starter from the mid 90's? We run the mini starters on everything now. From a 250 straight six, small blocks, and our big block.

    Ya know, I don't know what gen they were for as we planned on cutting them into pieces and making them fit the boys truck.

    1988 IROC-Z

    I ran over something in the middle of the freeway in my '73 VW. I fought them on it and didn't accept the lowball stuff. I sent the adjuster 43 different comparable vehicles for sale. They ended up sending me a check for $4,200 after I bought the car back.

    1988 IROC-Z

    Don't do anything with that check. If you cash it, that will be the end of it. Good call on the lawer.

    More help please on CS TO SI

    Some where in my truck's thread we did this as well. I don't remember what pig tail we used, but it charges like a champ now.

    TH400 Information Thread

    I would love a 4L80 version of this list as I am planning to one day put one into my truck behind the 454. Awesome write up and information share. That is a great way to earn customers.

    rear bumper

    We sport bumpered our truck for a while as we found one in the junkyard in great shape. No idea why it was spray painted black though, the chrome under is just fine. Mine is a '79 though, not an '82. We did have to buy the different brackets for it. Now we have a stock truck chrome bumper as it...

    Centerline *Style* Wherls 15x8-1/2 and 5 X 5 bolt pattern

    I picked these four wheels up in a package last year. I don't have a vehicle with this bolt pattern on them and want them to go away. Tires are doo doo and should be changed out. The wheels I believe are American Racing and are 15" x 8.5" wide. One wheel has a boogerie hole where it looks like...

    HELP WITH WHEEL AND TIRE SET UP

    I wanted to lower my 3/4 ton, but my wife asked if I would rather put that money into another vehicles rebuild. My truck looks just fine at stock ride height for me now. :happy107: :happy107: :happy107: :happy107: :happy107:

    Thoughts on going down to 37s?

    My buddies truck runs around on a set of BFG 37's and it still retains the mini monster truck feel. He is 6'2" and you can just see his head over the hood. Here it is next to my stock height 3/4 ton making it look like a mini truck. If I were you, I would get away from the defunct 16.5 inch...

    Help me decide, paint the camper shell light blue or dark blue

    I like the dark top. With perhaps a light blue pinstripe just above the bottom of the canopy to tie it further into the trucks paint. Like 1 or 2 inches up on the canopy a set of pinstripes similar to what outlines the two tone paint on the side of the truck.

    IS 350 TBI compatible with E10?

    Our 1995 Sub and its TBI have ingested 1,000's of gallons of the E10. Seafoam is a good thing for them every once in a while and it will let you know when you need it too.

    Thank you post to y'all.

    Good looking truck you have there. Nice work making the problems go away and then making it pass the sniffer test. We are working on making our truck pass as well and like you have a bad balancer. The new one is here and we just need to get it put on and then like you fiddle with the tune to get...

    Worth getting MSD?

    I have run a full MSD set up on my VW Bug. Long ago I read that the pro's say that there is never too much ignition for an engine. I had the set up on a stock 1600cc engine. It ran like a champ for the years that I had it on the engine. Now there is an MSD distributor in my sons truck, he will...

    Maxwellvis. A 20 year old with a 1949 Chevrolet truck.

    I made him get that. He pulled away from the house one night and the truck all but disappeared. The stock lights are bright, just not enough to see that they are attached to a vehicle. The paint simply absorbs all the light around it, so perfect camo for a old timey booze runner. Not so good for...
