I have everything to get it up and running...and it doesn't need alot. The main thing is getting the fuel cell mounted and plumbed and the air management system installed. Its all about getting the time to do it, but i 'm shooting for June if everything works out..it should be driveable!

jdurant · 04-19-2009, 08:50 PM

Oh well, I'll let you know anyway...just in case. Maybe we could get together anyway. I don't even know if I'll have time to go. I occasionally have to go as far as Baton Rouge for business--so possibly another time.

crawdadfox · 04-19-2009, 09:04 PM

Let me know...i'm up to drink a beer or twelve about any time!

**Captkaos** · 04-21-2009, 04:23 PM

Did not notice this thread, the windows look great on there.

jchav62 · 04-21-2009, 05:55 PM

Looking good! I really dig the one piece windows! The front end looks b!tchin too... Very nice work...

70k52wd · 04-21-2009, 07:22 PM

man i think thats what i miss the most, the people up here just don't know what good eats is. last time i was down i stopped in central before heading out and got some muffalettas for some friends and they said they didn't like it because it didn't taste like McAllisters(local deli). i coudn't believe it. sorry about the rant i just really miss the food.

silvrbreez · 05-02-2009, 06:24 PM

Great ride! Nice food too.

Yep, NOLA to TX transplant here. Folks in TX put the seasoning on the outside....wrong, just plain wrong.

Nice truck keep up the good work

crawdadfox · 05-07-2009, 10:04 PM

Well i installed the GM accessory set up today. Not a bad install, it took less than two hours! $800 bucks from my local Chevy dealer, and gives you every thing you need.

silvrbreez · 05-08-2009, 08:24 AM

When you say "everything you need", you mean all the pulleys, A/C compressor, alternator, belt, tensior, etc.? Nice deal. And it all just bolts up to the front of that 350?

crawdadfox · 05-08-2009, 08:45 AM

Yep..bolts right up. New water pump, a/c comp., alt., power steering pump, pulleys, all the brackets, hardware kit and the belt.

That's a good deal.....

crawdadfox · 05-08-2009, 09:23 AM

Yeah i think its a good bang for buck set up. I wanted to go with another Tru trac set up like you have on the "poop" colored motor

... but i didn't want spend all of my beer money!

dieselarmy13 · 05-08-2009, 09:57 AM

Damn, that is a good deal. I wish I wouldn't have just bought a new aluminum waterpump and all new aluminum pulleys for mine

They're an even better deal @ the local wrecking yard if you have a little time.

tvblazer78 · 05-08-2009, 10:29 AM

Nice set up man! Is that list price? I worked at a chevy dealer back in high school and they have me down to get 20% off of list to this day.

No that was a "i know the parts guy really good" price! I know Summit and Jegs sell the kit right at $800 ...i'm trying to stimulate the local economy a little!

Looks good!
