Took Ol'Blue down to get the exhaust hooked up tonight. I'll sure be glad when she is done. Here is some pics

Nice looking engine - I'm sure you'll be pretty happy to get it on the road again.

**BAD4X4** · 10-28-2008, 11:02 PM

Drove it down to my buddy's exhaust shop. NO HOOD! OPEN HEADERS! AND MY BIG FOOT! Wow that was fun. It turns those 37's like they are stock tires.

drivethechevy · 10-28-2008, 11:27 PM

looks like all blue needs is a paint job and a hood to be all brandnew again! i wish my truck was at the exhaust point right now

jrdv · 10-29-2008, 12:10 AM

Lookin good---especially that Big Block.

I drove my 71 SWB with open headers too. It was fun for a while--good thing the cops weren't around.

Ol`Blue!Where ya been?That truck doesn`t need a paint job.Can`t there be 4wd patina rods?

72BlckButy · 10-29-2008, 08:17 AM

Ol' Blue is looking pretty good. I bet that thing sounded mean with open headers...

On the road again.
I just can't wait,
to get on the road again.
Seeing places that I'll never see again,
I can't wait to get on the road again.

Sorry, that song immediately popped in my head when I read the title for some reason.

New engine: $3000.00
New headers: $225.00
New exhaust: $300.00
Driving to the muffler shop with open headers, no hood, and a grin the size of Texas while neighbors and all onlookers get annoyed:
$PRICELESS$

I wish the motor only cost me that much! The cowl hood is at home awaiting it's time to become one with Ol"Blue. I would love to paint her, nothing awesome. Just a good shinny paint job. But crap everyone around here wants 5k to paint her!

Nice Truck So is that the 502 build? That is one sweet truck!!

**BAD4X4** · 10-29-2008, 11:12 PM

No that one is on the back burner.

mtm_seven · 10-29-2008, 11:28 PM

*****in!!! I like the color and Patina. - Reminds me of a truck version of my Blazer. Damn, I'm ready for 'Poppa Smurf' to ride again. :/

Thanks for making me sad that my toy is down. grrrrrrrrr

*chevy29267truck* · 10-30-2008, 01:46 AM

**BAD4X4** · 10-31-2008, 08:46 AM
