Thank you sir! You're both a gentleman and a scholar!

By the way, that truck is lookin DAMN good!

I finally sent a box your way my friend. it should be in in IA by mid week. i tossed in a few 1/2"-20 60* lug nuts as well. you'll have to scrounge up some studs, i mangled mine when i took them out.

Thank you sir, you as well have one heading your way!

**Dieselwrencher** · 12-10-2012, 06:03 PM

No progress has been made, but I did get a big dollar part purchased for it. Now I won't be as scared when I mash the skinny pedal!

Let me know before you buy any of it and I can get you a price.

Vintage Windmills · 12-10-2012, 11:56 PM

Wait, I thought you had your engine all done, you have to tear it back down to install those ARP's? Head bolts?

6lcummins · 12-11-2012, 02:09 AM

We can swap out one at a time, I did that on my truck and it holds 50+psi and we are unsure of the miles on my engine.

Chevymaniac · 12-11-2012, 02:29 AM

Truck looks great. What color of orange did you go with? How soon until you drive it? Need to post a video so we can hear that cummins purr and the turbos kicking in.

**rgreathouse** · 12-11-2012, 12:26 PM

This things coming along great! nice to see the studs... Ive been contemplaiting twins, what is your setup? do you have any pics of you downpipe and hotpipe?

1985-GMC · 12-25-2012, 12:41 PM

Hey Ryan, even thought I've already had plans on doing this for a long time now I have to say that you are a bad influence!

Merry Christmas!

woodwright · 12-25-2012, 01:01 PM

Ryan, do you have any used 12V turbo's? I forget what number they are. Maybe even one that needs rebuilt.

jbclassix · 12-25-2012, 01:14 PM

Awe man! Someone smashed the blue bows on your Christmas present!

It's hugger orange, I have no idea how soon I'll drive it. It's kind of snowed in at the moment.

I'll post a vid when it's time.

The turbos are a HT60 (76mm) over a Super HX40 (60mm). I do have some pics I'll have to post back up.

Yes I do. They are either H1C's on early engines or HX35w's on later until CR's. I have a good used one and some that have some play but are still usable.

I can't wait to hear and see it in action. Have you thought any more on lettering your truck?

Not right now, but I know a guy that may have a pair. I'll call him and see what he'll want for them.

Honestly Bud, no I haven't. Since it's been outside, I have kind of not thought much about it. I'll think on it this weekend and get a hold of you.
