Great lookin build man, gonna have a whole hell of a lot of giddy-up with a power plant like that! Tires are cheaper in bulk, right?

What a great looking chasis. I think I enjoy looking at a clean chasis more then a completed truck.

Thanks guys for the nice comments, I got my valve covers and I was really nervous cause I've never done anything but chrome. But I like the way it turned out!

Not much progress this week, i've got my drive shaft but not installed. I spent my day building a stand so I can bring my cab home from paint. Having a hard time finding an air cleaner that will fit my dominator. Still have to research what distributor and starter I need. Heres a pic of what i'm working on, don't laugh first time I've welded anything.

Re: project teacher
 

Cool project, looks great! Where did you get those valve covers? I like those a lot. 540 will be some serious ground thumping power!

Re: project teacher
 

Thanks RustBuket

The valve covers came from Billet Specialities. The only problem is they don't make an air cleaner to fit my dominator carburetor.

Re: project teacher
 

hope you have and extra set of rear tires... your gonna need them..

Re: project teacher
 

Thats going to be unreal. Great attention to detail man.

Re: project teacher

Kyle,

From the last time we talked I was getting the vibe that you would prefer reproduction. I really don't know the difference between 67 and 68, but since the cab is 68 i thought i would use that year. Im game for whatever you want to use?

Thanks
Gary

Spent about a half day this morning finishing up the table i'm using to move my cab. When I finished I went back and work the lash out on my rockers. After i got that done I installed my distributor. Tomorrow i should have pics of my driveshaft.

Thanks for looking
Gary
