Thanks dfwright, here are a couple pics of the cab before paint. Pick up the new Truckin' Magazine January 8th for our bare metal feature of Project Snakebit!

What header did you use on this engine? I picked up some C5 corvette manifolds and there just is not much clearance between the frame rails. Could you post some pictures of the engine mounts? Grear build wish mine would turn out that good! Keep it up!
Thanks
Grant

Yes it is!

**Dieselwrencher** · 01-09-2013, 09:59 PM

Awesome work as usual!

MoreLoveThanMoney · 01-09-2013, 10:25 PM

Following this build and it's inspiring. I've got a 50 that's going to be in the shop soon. I saw you were running a 9" rear but did you consider any other options? I've read a lot about using Camaro and Explorer rears. Just wondering what your opinion would be.

I used 98 c5 manifolds on mine, they worked good. LATER C5'S will not work.

I stay away from the Camaro and Explorer rears. Thats kind of the cheap way out and I don't like the looks of either. We have been running 9" Floater housings and Love them! I'll post a pic of the housing we're running in Project Snakebit. Thanks

Thanks! Be on the look out for much more! Here are a couple pics of the cab after the first round of clear. The last pic is for Morelovethanmoney

Your truck looks great. The panel matching seems perfect. I have one question: I'm sure there is a real good reason for it but I personally don't know the answer. Wyn did you reverse the "C" notches?

Not sure what you mean?

**lolife99** · 01-13-2013, 12:14 PM

Is the last picture from a different truck?

Oops......spelling. Why did you reverse the "C" notches. They look like they are reversed to each other (high end at front on right/ at rear on left). Do I need new glasses? I'm not well versed on notching, so just wondering why.

Thanks Chevette! Maybe these pics will help.

Chevette · 01-13-2013, 08:28 PM

Now it all make sense. It was a combination of camera angle and my bad eye sight.

Lookin good!

MoreLoveThanMoney · 01-23-2013, 12:15 PM

Looks like you have done a fewe of these trucks. Any chance you have a black patina or rust colored drivers fender? Need one for my 50 model
