Thanks green and i will man
getting ready to clean & repaint the motor as i do with all my motors...

Just a fun and cheap way to make it look good and show up any new leaks ya may not now about...Will post up pics before & after.

816allen · 04-04-2010, 11:33 AM

motor is just about done today about to post up pics and i took my stock heavy duty springs cut a coil off the backs and a coil & a half off the front so now she sits like a stock truck about a fist full of space from tire to fender and about two fist out back sorry didnt get out the tape measure lol

816allen · 04-04-2010, 01:35 PM

Its still in a raw stage i have a lil touch up to do here and there and clean fire wall also....
I still need to paint some brackets here and there but i wanted to post some pics....

816allen · 04-04-2010, 01:37 PM

It looks a lil red but its a Chevy orange ill take more pics when im done...
Soon will get rid of that big spacer and hose to valve cover and have a big k&n filter and lil filter on valve cover as well...

KcLevi · 04-05-2010, 09:15 AM

Wow looks new!!

ShredSled · 04-05-2010, 10:55 AM

nice work, did you just paint the brake booster and MC? or new?

816allen · 04-06-2010, 12:00 AM

just painted it except the bottom still have the alt and bracket and a lil touch up but man its crazy what a lil cleaning and paint will do!
Thinking of doin all the body work to it strip off all the windows,symbols & lights and taking it to maco with some satin red paint and tell them to go nuts

VA72C10 · 04-06-2010, 12:24 AM

Depends on who works there. We had one Maaco in my area that had a great painter. Putting out 300-500 jobs that looked better than some 3000-5000 jobs I'd seen....as long as the prep work was done well and everything possible taken off that can be a good option...just get some referrals and check out their work in person and get a firm estimate based on what state you will bring the truck in.

816allen · 04-06-2010, 12:30 AM

Thanks for the tips man thats some good ideas i have heard there was a good painter north of me ill find out...

816allen · 04-16-2010, 08:00 AM

Got bored put some white walls i had on the spare wheels that came with the truck.
I didnt have any paint to paint them but i threw them on any ways, cut the stock springs a few times untill i got it where i wanted it and now she sits good and rides nice for a daily driver...

VA72C10 · 04-16-2010, 08:43 AM

Looking good!

KcLevi · 04-18-2010, 07:23 PM

Dam man I didnt think the whites would look good on there...but they look great. I kinda like the white truck white wheels and white walls.

**72 Super** · 04-18-2010, 07:38 PM

As long as you are having fun, that's the way see it. I have owned a lot of classic/custom cars, harley's, trucks, burbs etc, I miss some of them, but its always fun to have something new to work on.

Pics of the new ride?

**FRENCHBLUE72** · 04-21-2010, 10:55 PM

Nice score... Lets see the new ride..

816allen · 04-23-2010, 12:10 AM
