Re: Project: B.A.D. 1976 K30 CCLB
I've been compiling a list of parts for this truck so I can try to get it going before the new year. I did get a 73-80 front clip for it, so the newer one is off of it. We happened to get a rebuilt diesel 47rh, so now I have to get my triple disc billet TC re stalled for this truck. I've been talking with the wife and the sun visor is coming off, and the truck will be a magenta color with upper and lower mouldings. The interior is going to be black now. Since this is her truck, she's getting to make some calls. (I hope the color doesn't bite me in the...)

Re: Project: B.A.D. 1976 K30 CCLB
For a while i was wondering if this was going to get sacrificed for your 67-72 crew build

Re: Project: B.A.D. 1976 K30 CCLB
when this truck was lifted the 22inch?(ithink thats what you said) was it drivable? as far as steering and stoping? im thinking about doing this to a truck/suburban and i need to get a parts list. Did you ever have shocks on it? what all did you have to use to correct the steering? as far as drop pitman arm, steering block? what all did you have to use for that? Thanks and awesome truck

I speak 100% from experience ha, i built my truck with big gawdy 25" leaf springs and 54" boggers and it ran like crap really stiff, very unstable and sucked driving anywhere. So i pulled it apart built a tube frame chassis, running a double triangluated 4 link setup a blown alcohol injected 572 big block boggers and race blown nitrogen shocks. http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=510400 If you have any questions at all please just ask and ill do my best to help as much as i can, hope this helps ya out a bit... sorry ryan for hacking your build thread its pretty schweet! |

Very cool project Ryan. I didn't realize you had so many irons in the fire....subscribed

Re: Project: B.A.D. 1976 K30 CCLB
Mike, this truck is really on the back burner now. :lol: It's storage and a yard ornament until further notice. Haha

Re: Project: B.A.D. 1976 K30 CCLB
Do you have enough burners?

Re: Project: B.A.D. 1976 K30 CCLB
No, that's why they're all not done. :lol:

this is an awesome project ryan! im kinda new to here but ive read this forum and ive decided to switch my plans! i got a question for ya though. ((on the bottom picture)). I love the stance of your truck, at that stage. could you tell me the size of lift you were running body and suspension? and also what size tire rim combo were you runnin? this is an awesome truck man are you still wrenching on it?? |
Re: Project: B.A.D. 1976 K30 CCLB
i think it will look great as the 76 it is... although im partial to the round headlights. and high hood. i have only owned 2 short beds.. and wasnt too fond of them as I tend to use my trucks as trucks.. that thing will be cool as hell but not sure about Magenta... but I guess that will discourage you from using it....lol

Re: Project: B.A.D. 1976 K30 CCLB
There may be hope for this truck yet. :lol: I sold the front doors off it and my friend who baught them put the GM doors I had laying around back on it. I'm picking up a different bed this weekend for it, and have plans to put a 12v p-pump engine in it with a NV4500 and maybe a 241c tcase in it. This will happen after I can actually drive the Longhorn. I want to put this link on here for the GM hinges so I don't forget to buy these for it as well.

Re: Project: B.A.D. 1976 K30 CCLB
Here are some pics of the different doors on it. Poor truck. :lol:
http://i181.photobucket.com/albums/x...702_111442.jpg http://i181.photobucket.com/albums/x...702_111422.jpg I will be going with the newer type of mirror that is on the LH front door. I have a pair of NOS mirrors I picked up a while ago for it. Plan is a cowl hood and a dark green metallic paint job with maybe a pewter center and new trim. We'll see if I can swing all of that. |
Re: Project: B.A.D. 1976 K30 CCLB
Glad to see some progress. Keep it up. :metal:

Re: Project: B.A.D. 1976 K30 CCLB
Good progress Ryan. Love to see GM parts staying on the road:)

Thanks to my brother Nick and friend Adam, we went and picked up another short bed for this today. I plan to use the bed sides from this bed on my old floor. This bed came with an access toneau cover, a rust free tail gate, and an aluminum fuel cell. Not a bad deal imo. |
Re: Project: B.A.D. 1976 K30 CCLB
Ryan your going to have to change the title name to CCSB. :lol:
|
Re: Project: B.A.D. 1976 K30 CCLB
That's a good idea. :lol:

Re: Project: Little Truck 1976 K30 CCSB
Just think if I would have bought this thing before I bought my '97 someone would be driving it!
