Re: Long Project: Orange Julius
I'd like to stop by and see this thing. I'll bring the prom queen if it's not raining. PM me, I'm on holiday for the next few weeks.

Re: Long Project: Orange Julius
So, in my quest to find an engine machine shop, my father in law found a fully assembled LQ9 from a 2005 Denali with 80,000k on it. Came with the GM performance manifold and another one. I think it might be the original truck manifold. Not a bad buy for $900!
![]() ![]() After looking at it, I think I might keep that manifold on it rather than the LS2 mani I have in the garage... A little retro look would be pretty neat, I think! |

Re: Long Project: Orange Julius
Love it. I want to do the drop member so bad.
What are you doing about the bed floor now? Raising it or cutting it out? What base do you work at? I was stationed in SD |

Im actually going to keep the bed floor like it is. I didnt buy the rear dropmember, so all it really is, is the PB trailing arms and crossmember. Maybe later in the future i might raise it, but its not in my immediate plans I am not actually in the military, Im actually just a civilian contractor. However, I have an uncle that used to be stationed in SD. |

Does the diff hit the bed floor when its bagged out? I read where you said you were a contractor, but most of them are on bases somewhere. That's why i asked. I'm trying to get on with Lockheed once I finish my masters. oh yea, you're going to LOVE the LS swap |

Yes, the diff does hit the bed floor when its aired out, but thats it. I mean it barely love taps it... Im not based out of any base back home except my employers' facility. I am overseas right now, but cant exactly say where :/ Good luck with lockheed! I almost snagged a job with them at SkunkWorks but I decided to go where Im at right now |

Re: Long Project: Orange Julius
So, during a random search for C10s with flames on google images and I ran across this... Gotta say this puts a pretty big smile on my face! Maybe I might be going somewhere with this build. LOL

Re: Long Project: Orange Julius
I know you probably said it earlier in your thread but I didn't see it. But what kind of push button setup are you using and how do you like it? I was thinking about putting one on my 69
