Re: Big Block Build is what I'm calling mine. New pics inside
Today I put a new battery in my truck. Summit said i bought the other battery in Oct 2013. Without jumping through hoops they sent me a new battery becuase I said it wasn't holding a charge. Battery wasn't strong enough to start the truck after 3 days and that was with a battery cut off switch.
Not to mention I called on Monday and the battery was here Tuesday. I wanted my money back but they can't do that so I am stuck with the Optima Battery for now. We will see how long this one lasts.

Re: Big Block Build is what I'm calling mine. New pics inside
I just looked through my thread. I notice I never said thanks for the compliments. I feel like a dork right now so I am saying thanks now.
Better late then never I guess. The truck is running really good right now. I noticed the more I drive it the better it gets. Thanks again.

Put my new tires and wheels on today. 255/60/15 up front and 275/60/15 on the rear mounted on 8" rims. I need to take one when the sun is in the right place.

Re: Big Block Build is what I'm calling mine. New pics inside
Thanks. I ended up painting it black. I might be at the Stockton swap meet July 12th. Still up in the air about that one.

Re: Big Block Build is what I'm calling mine. New pics inside
Can't believe I drove to LA and back with this dist cap and didn't break down. I swapped out the dist and fine tuned the carb and now it has better response then before and I can tell the difference in the giddy up and go.

Re: Big Block Build is what I'm calling mine. New pics inside
I had to redo the brackets for the 4 row. For the 3 row I just had to find thinner rubber to fit the tanks.

I got the frame mounts at www.truckandcarshop.com I think they are $139 now. http://www.truckandcarshop.com/trucks60_72/t60_121.html Bottom of the page $129. You do have to trim the upper frame about 1/2",

I bought a die-cast that looks a lot like your truck today at Wallyworld.

Re: Big Block Build is what I'm calling mine. New pics inside
I gotta get over to walmart for one of those diecast C10's.
Your truck looks tuff with the hubcaps and white letter tires.

Re: Big Block Build is what I'm calling mine. New pics inside
I picked up this 327 a few months ago. Upon further review, we found fuel injection pistons which are 11:1. Don't think I should be using this in a street truck.

Re: Big Block Build is what I'm calling mine. New pics inside
What casting number heads were on it? If you run a 70-76cc chamber head it should run fine on pump gas. The cam choice is a factor as well on cylinder pressure and ignition is important as to what fuel can be burned

Re: Big Block Build is what I'm calling mine. New pics inside
Not sure about the CC's on the heads. I know they are 2.02 intake Double hump heads. The cam has a 454 lift and If I remember right a 268 Duration.

Re: Big Block Build is what I'm calling mine. New pics inside
The 461, 462 and 290 casting 'double hump' heads have 62-64cc chambers. Those along with that small cam, I doubt you could run straight 91/92 pump gas.
