Thanks Marcus, Ha, ordered these plates like 10 months early just to make sure we got em… Thanks, more and more work for Ray as time goes on. It’s a real gas to drive him around town! Quote:

Thanks Mike, looking forward to see how your tunes upgrade turns out. Here’s some more pics we’ll share that Dee J took as he was finishing up the install. Can’t say enough about the fantastic customer service and skill set of the people at Semi Service, excellent! Really appreciate everyone’s comments, with just a little over 300 miles on the clock and a short list of to do’s that will wait until spring, put El-Ray away and I’m back in Blue for the rest of winter. Having a real good time teasing my wife that I’m letting my mullet grow while we work on the Camaro!

Re: 72 K30 Build
Looks fantastic Brett! I'm sure your list of to-do's will get whittled down quick come spring time. What sort of things do you have left?

Re: 72 K30 Build
Thanks Rick, how's your truck going? Ours still needs these tweaks in no particular order.
Finish messing with the electric auto choke, works well but stays on a bit too long. Wire up the electric fuel pump correctly (relay, etc.), currently hooked direct with a circuit breaker and rocker switch. Cluster work, not happy with the aftermarket temp gauge doesn’t read correctly (reads colder). Tried 2 known good senders and I do get movement but going to try a factory gauge (resistor?) next. Odometer also has a lazy digit (100th) that needs to be corrected. Remove all the stickers from the bed & tool boxes and detail. 500-mile service on drive train (& check everything) then tow something! Still watching that front timing chain cover seal and have the high heat one if necessary. Everything else is working perfecto' and I can’t wait until spring.

Re: 72 K30 Build
For rgreathouse...
Here’s some ugly pics of a cool Longhorn Highlander 4x conversion w/14b and a sweet sway bar setup that was for sale a few years ago. Really, really liked this truck and tried to buy it at that time. It’s setup to haul a big camper level, check out those u-bolts. Knew we weren't going to run overloads and didn't want the truck to squat with load, so the later setup seemed right for us.

Re: 72 K30 Build
They sure wanted a lot for that orange truck. I had thought real hard about trying to get it. I'm pretty sure that sway bar is from a P-30 chassis camper. I have a 10 bolt D70HD from one with the same type of sway bar.

Re: 72 K30 Build
Been awhile since I've posted so here goes. Here's Ray doing truck stuff, first time towing did great, no problemo! Took our neglected C10 project up north to a friends body shop for a gap & sealer treatment. Last shot I stole from one of his posts.

Re: 72 K30 Build
Thanks Mike! I'm digging it also...
Thank you Mike, how's that new truck treating you? Thanks Scott! A few years back I fell pretty hard for a fellow members truck. Here's a link and pics of Justin's truck (1972 Black Cheyenne Super Big Block - JWall http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...486244&page=14), it's sold now but is still a big inspiration for our C10.

Re: 72 K30 Build
Truck looks great Brett! You could always run the c/k30 sway bar on this as well. It is made to fit a 14bolt or Dana 70.

Re: 72 K30 Build
Ray looks sweet with a trailer behind him! That grill on what looks to be a model A is sweet. I really love that pic. A Daytona or superbird, and a 54ish corvette gasser? So much awesome there. The C10 will be awesome. Is the Camaro done already?

Re: 72 K30 Build
Thanks Ryan, no on the Camaro not done yet, but big Camaro updates are coming! That grill belongs to a 29 Dodge with a hemi (customers car). The 54 Vette gasser and soon to be a Daytona belong to Chad, it’s his shop. I’ll tell yah Chad is quite the builder, here’s the original FB post with his 57 Chevy assault vehicle!
