Sweet man i got a skateboard tooo. its a krooked with some independents on it and some big wheels! its sick fun to cuise at that concret park in my some of my older pics..

I got a job finally gonna be working at a bike shop so i'll for sure be putting money into the truck again! cant wait to start working and thinking about future PARTS!!!

Im also thinking of cutting my front springs again to drop it anothre couple inches. can you fix the camber by adding washers or something to the upper control arm>? we have an alingment tool here at school.

[oldblue1968chevy]

Its a cheap blank board with, venture or independant trucks, ritca? wheels and some abec 7 bearings? sorry about the names its been about 7 years since i really was into skateboards LOL

[67chevy1series]

Coon!


next to my buds caddy


Gettin it muddy up north (new wheels and tires)

[oldblue1968chevy]

Ive been offroading too before..lol

what wheels are those?...

Good to know your still kickin'

[threeonthetree]

haha ive been mudding before..

5x7 steel rims stockers with free tires i picked up

[oldblue1968chevy]

gonna leave em black or what?...

I think they need a wild color and some caps baby moons.

[threeonthetree]

Gonna leave them black. or i was thinking red. or lime green
but i think it looks real good black on black. tires look good.
there smaller up front and bigger out back.
i want to drop the front end down more. but fear that with a coil spring drop ill have to screw with the camber..

[oldblue1968chevy]

lime green would be pretty sick on the black!

yeah save for drop spindles? I want some too

[threeonthetree]

Got a 350 short block and heads for the turck gonna get a gasket kit and put it back together. Need to know what gen block it is. will have numbers up. could use a little help with picking out a cheap but quailty set. get paid today figure im gonna buy it this week.

then im going to pull my dads trucks trans 3speed on the tree and bellhousing. put the motor together. mate the trans and swap the 250 out in one easy change.

[R&K's71]

Just read through your thread nice truck man. Keep up the good work.

[oldblue1968chevy]

sweet!

FELPRO GASKETS! AND USE A 1 PIECE OIL PAN GASKET TAKE YOUR TIME DONT BE LIKE ME AND HAVE LEAKS EVERYWHERE!

[threeonthetree]

there it is in my bed.

the cast number on the block is 10054727

i think there vortech heads. there center bolt valve covers

does that mean i can only run a certain kind of intake

[oldblue1968chevy]

long time no updates

whats the numbers on the heads not all ceterbolt heads are vortecs btw

[threeonthetree]

they arnt vortecs they are 87 heads they need special intake that has different center bolts. the four center bolts out of the eight have elongated holes.

just gonna keep running the six till it dies. although the 350 motor is built besides for the intake.still have to buy it... and the cast on that block does not allow you to run a mechanical fuel pump....... electric units are $$$
working on getting brand new rims and tires for this summer.
trucks been in storage all winter i got a 85 chev 4x4 beater with a heater that has been takin all the salt. been working alot. and saving up money. trying to find a new seat for the c10 tooo.

[threeonthetree]

the beater

the summer cruiser


and them getting cozzie

[oldblue1968chevy]

any updates?

did u get a # off the heads?

if the blocks an 87 make sure u stab a roller cam in there instead of a flat tappet!

maybe the gm hotcam?

[threeonthetree]

yeah well the valve train is good on it. i got it mostly together i just need a intake. Also needs a Electric fuel pump because after 87 mechanical pump wasn't in the cast.
The heads are truck heads and have 90 degree center intake bolts to make it easier to install for fuel injection, on the assembly line.

We got some snow today had to get the truck moved out of the garage its been in for most of this winter. Got new tires on her.

heres a few up to date pics.
nice place to park it this winter.


takin off the front rims to change the tires had to buy new rear rims


snow storm night after i get it home...



fresh set of tires. 205/75/15 all the way around


blue truck aka winter beater..



putting the truck to work this summer in its prime.

[oldblue1968chevy]

Looks good with the caps. Need drop $pindles lol.

Like the sig.

[threeonthetree]

need to upgrade to disc. kits run 550 on up. can you run disc with the rims im running?

thinking about going to the junk yard and finding some 1971 front spindles, disc's, calipers, booster and p valve. and buy drop spindles for them. but can i run my rims?

it be half what a new kit cost's and i can get the disc's machined for free. as long as the calipers looked decent.

what else will i need?


Has anyone come along and made spindles for drums?

[oldblue1968chevy]

I think id use the 73-87 frontend parts cheaper and easier to get.

I used the 71 stuff. Are u gonna run 6 lug rotors or GM 5 lug (6 lug rotors are aftermarket)

[threeonthetree]

6 lug is the way to go. im not swapping out my tires and rear end for 5 lugs

[threeonthetree]

Worked on the truck this weekend got a new bumper on the back end looks dope.

trying to figure out how to get the front end lower still i want it to have a rake. maybe even put some blocks out back get it reallly low. pics soon any ideas..

im kinda thinking air bags up front : ))))))))

[BuiltwithIvy]

I ended up with front and rear disc brakes for right around 800, did need to swap wheels though
