sweet wheel, looks just like the one I got done restoring for my Super.

Down south truckin · 05-12-2008, 09:18 AM

Yeah!!!

I got my project running and driving! It runs pretty good and stops pretty good It's got rear discs and I was/am skeptical about stuff like that.Now one day this week I can take it and get my 2 flowmasters and some exhaust ran so it won't sound like a "pulpwood truck" anymore.and I can get after it with some rubbing compound and wax.Thanks Mike

Great job. Turned out real nice.

Real sweet Mike... Are you going to go with mouldings on this one?

I've got a set of the reproduction wood grain mouldings that I bought for a previous project that got traded off.After I get it rubbed back to a shine I'll put the new mouldings on it.Thanks Mike

Down south truckin · 05-18-2008, 06:21 AM

I got the exhaust ran on it this week the gentleman who did it did me a great job ran it above the crossmember so you can't even see it from the side.He also installed a crossover pipe and some turn downs just past the rear axle.The two chamber flowmasters sound good even though it is kinda quiet.I also got the seat cover from Frank (PICKMUP) Now I just need to find a good seat to cover,and get the elbow grease out and polish the paint

msgross · 05-18-2008, 06:35 AM

looks good, I like the stock look

you could always put in an add-a-leaf or xero rate spring in the back to raise it an inch or two....

og350 · 05-18-2008, 08:34 AM

hey can you take some pictures of the exhaust? i just got done putting headers on my truck and want to figuure out the pest path to run the pipes! thanks and great looking truck!! oh and mine sits lower in back and i have a 4 inch skyjacker kit.

Down south truckin · 05-22-2008, 05:42 AM

WHOO-HOO I got my seat covered today as well as 2 coats of rubbing/polishing compound then followed by a coat of turtle wax and it cleaned up pretty good now I got to get the moulding on and the seat in.This is the only good thing about being slow at work.Thanks,DST

Down south truckin · 05-22-2008, 05:44 AM

Here are a few pictures of the exhaust...DST

og350 · 05-28-2008, 05:35 AM

http://minneapolis.craigslist.org/pts/696193505.html

dst what are you running for a t case and shifter? i have a 79 np203 that i put in my 71 k20 but and having a problem with the sifter hiting the trans hump so i will have to do some altering to the shifter.

msgross · 05-31-2008, 04:22 PM

any video of how that exhaust sounds?

Down south truckin · 06-02-2008, 09:51 PM

msgross, That's a good idea my camera does video but I've never tried to attach them to a forumn.Any body have any tips on the easiest way to do it? Here are some shots of the Bronze and white truck this weekend at super chevy

Down south truckin · 06-02-2008, 10:13 PM

These pics are after adding 1" lift blocks on the rear and adding all the woodgrain mouldings.I have never really been a big fan of the bronze color but to me this truck just clicks and looks great!

og350 · 06-02-2008, 10:47 PM

hey dst what did you use for the block? i was looking at the ord and like the idea of shifting the wheels back. the truck looks great and the color fits it well!!

A friend of mine had some 1" lift blocks laying around.we tried some 1/2 thick ones but you couldn't hardly tell.Knowing him he made them himself....DST

love those 5 slots! I need to find something like that for when my 33x12.50x15s wear out, and go with a narrower tire/wheel combo.

468BIGBLOCK · 08-26-2008, 09:21 PM

any progress lately,looks great!!

Down south truckin · 08-26-2008, 09:33 PM

No progress just sitting around waiting on cooler weather and hunting season maybe it will get some miles put on it once it cools down.

**HOTFUN** · 08-26-2008, 09:40 PM

Mike
Good time then to be looking over the data books so maybe I can be pouring over them someday.... Still would like to get one. I really like the bronze color and it looks great on that K20. Mark
