LS1 into a 73 cheyenne - Page 8 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

This is my fuel line set up. I decided to go with a single line filter regulator. I used Jegs braided 6 AN female 2ft. ready made hose. 3/8 and 5/16 tubing with Swagelock compression fittings 2- 3/8 to 6AN males and 2- 5/16 to 6 AN males. At the regulator I used 1- 3/8 and 1- 5/16 Swagelock compresion to compresion fittings and a GM O-ring X 6AN.

No progress on my truck since I been busy finishing off my uncles truck. Cab fire wall and chassi have been painted. We used PPG Atomic Orange (code 83), and PPG 2021 clear. A high gloss on the chassi. We were goin to drop in an LS1 this Sunday but the paint was still sticky, will try again this week end.

Looking good. That color looks cool.

glock35ipsc · 02-15-2010, 02:51 PM

I love that color! This is what I was going to paint my 68. I even had a little design figured out that I was going to have airbrushed on a lower corner of the tailgate...... an orange that was split open at the top, with a mushroom cloud coming out of it.

Its Ellis Hy-Lux one stage,with wet look hardner added. It sprays really thick eaven when reduced a bit extra, so it will go along ways ended up using about 1/3 of 1 gallon. Sorry for the low- res picture it was taken with my phone.

BlueMagicSS · 07-28-2010, 07:01 PM

Nice build!!! I can't wait to get the LS1 into my K5. The Jetstream blue is an Awesome color and will look great on your Cheyenne!!! I'm kinda partial to that color since my Camaro SS is close to the same color

mcbassin · 07-28-2010, 11:29 PM

Nice score on the buckets! I would love to find a set like that.

silvereagle07 · 02-17-2010, 05:25 PM

Update, I started to gather some of the paint supplys I got the clear 2 gallons of Dupont Imron, yes the stuff that got outlawed in Cali. Game plan I will start by removing the front clip to get to the old 350 pulling it out, strip interior, remove cab and bed, clean the frame, paint the frame, then work on the exterior body bringing it down to bare metal, tubbing the rear drop in a Ford 9", install 4 link, paint exterior, then finally drop the LS, wire the new set up, run new wet lines, list goes on and on...This swap has been past due as I was suppose to move on Feb, but escrow got delayed, so i will start the swap after i move hopefully by the end of this month.

justpball · 03-10-2010, 02:17 PM

I had a supra back in the day that i painted that color...very nice color!
