Got the motor and tranny dropped in and tuned. It came out looking better than I thought it would. I also went ahead and took the old heater box and out and made some temporary panels at work to cover the holes.

I cleaned up under the hood also with a wire wheel and primed and painted it with a satin black to give it a cleaner look

I figured the wheels needed a little change up so I got some wider white walls and painted the wheels black but I could decide whether or not to use the center caps or not so I just left them off for now.

The truck is running really good right now. I drove it to a show in Victoria, Texas which was around 200 miles round trip and it performed flawlessly. The overdrive is really worth it I went from running at around 3600 rpm to 2300 at 70mph. The highest my engine temp was 170f and my transmission was running at 175f so I'm pretty satisfied with the conversion. I'm still planning on installing an Aux cooler for the transmission just to get the temp down a little more.

Re: '70 Stepside Build
Wow, you've done a lot to it since I've seen you last. I bet that 700R4 is awesome. Wish I could have made it to Victoria.

Re: '70 Stepside Build
Your truck looks and sits good Mike. It reminds me of my 69 step when i bought it. I wish I had left the old green paint instead rushing to get in primer.

Re: '70 Stepside Build
Nice looking truck. Smart decision to let the truck start making some smiles and memories before it's ripped apart for more drastic work. :metal:

Took the truck out for a drive the other night and also got another air breather off craigslist.

I also made a temporary radio template for the glove box. I have the original AM radio that I wired to accept an iPod but it just wasn't cutting it. I had another receiver laying around and decided to use it. I have access to a metal break at work so bending and cutting the sheet metal was a breeze. I bought a Bluetooth receiver off eBay that will pick up my phone signal so I can keep the glove box closed. I'm going to just paint it with some textured black paint.

Re: '70 Stepside Build
Nice work. That air cleaner looks great on that beautiful engine too.

Its been a while but no real updates other than I added some new caps and lowered the rear 2" with blocks. I'm happier with the stance but I still want to bag it. Oh and I also bought another project ..... the blue turd next to it.
