Re: Post Your 60-63 Body Style Chevy/GMC Trucks

Well its got:

347ci LS1
Forged roatating assembley
Ported factory heads
243/250 @ .050 cam
Thise passes had an LS6 intake with a factory smoothed and ported TB
Had a factory mechanical water pump
Underdrive crank pulley
Manual steering box
Power brakes

4L80E trans
4,900rpm converter
3.73
30" x 14.50 ET Street (going through the traps in second gear with the converter locked aprox 7,100rpm)

Being all steel, the truck weighed in a 3,840 with me in the seat and 1/2 tank of gas.

The front suspension is stock minus the springs and shocks. According to Moroso, I was running a spring that would not work for the weight of my truck. But, according to the leverage ratio and my unsprung weight, I found it to be ummm, perfect Shocks were a Comp Engineering 3-way, but even on the 70/30 setting, there was still a little too much stored energy in the front. I have switched to a Rancho 9,000x.

The rear again is stock other than an adjustable lower control arm braket I made that allows you to move the mounting location, I think there are 5 holes. Also a Classic performance lowering spring, blocks and again a Comp 3-way shock.

Since that outing I have:

Switched to a single plain with a dominator throttle body
Removed the factory bench seat for a set of light weight buckets (50lbs)
Build a new front crossmember that retains the factory control arms (25lbs, but the intake/N20 plate and TB made up the difference)
Cutting off the 30-40lb tow hith I once welded on it
Putting a factory weight tailgate on it (had an extrat junk gate so I added about 100lbs to it)
Just received a 1 piece glass front end (75 lbs vs te 240 the factory stuff weighs)
Put a 4.56 gear in it
Put an electric water pump on it
Pray every night it goes 11.40-11.50 NA in the 1/4 and low 10's on the jug...

The problem I have with that is you are not garuanteed the coin. I have a lot of money in my junk even though it still looks like junk, I'd hate to have to buy things a second time around. Cool to watch though..
