The truck's almost done!
 

Here ya go! Man, now that I know how to upload pics, I'm on fire :devil: Here's what I have been up to for the last six years. You can tell by my handle that I used to have a 56, it was stock and I was sick of being passed by VW's... Not anymore!

Welcome, really nice truck. I like the color and it a big back window.:metal:

Nice looking truck. Clean under the hood. Got anymore pictures?

Nice truck!

What instrument cluster is that?

Re: The truck's almost done!
 

How well does it run? I have a simular set up in my 48. I'm nearing completion so I have not driven it with the LT1 yet.
What spart plug wire looms did you use? They look very simple and clean.

Here is a pic of my (dusty and incomplete) engine comparment.


Thanks

I made up the instrument cluster myself. I made it out of 1/4" baltic birch plywood and made sure it fit and then traced the shape onto a sheet of 1/4" aluminum and cut it out. I sanded it with 220 on a random orbit sander and then cleared it. The LT1 runs like a dream. I went with a high pressuure Arromotive (Sp?)fuel regulator so I haven't had any troubles with fuel. The looms are from Street and Performance. The old boy gets sideways really easy and then straightens himself out and is GONE! How much better can that get!

Aeromotive, the right spelling. Here's the webpage:

Sweet truck! Any details about the rest of the drivetrain? Nice clean engine compartment.
