sams60gmc · 09-15-2010, 12:31 AM

haha thats cool
is it drilled and tapped already?

Delmo · 09-15-2010, 12:40 AM

Whoa, awesome.

Delmo · 09-15-2010, 12:43 AM

Oh ya, I checked my rear bumper with the new brackets and it's about 3/8 off the box.

creep · 09-15-2010, 10:57 AM

Yeah it's an actual shiftknob, not something I'm making into one. it comes drilled out and a threaded insert pressed in. It also comes with a adapter of your choice. I got it here. hotrodshiftknob.com. Check out the link to House O' Speed while you're there. Thier logo has a 64-66 Suburban on it.

Thanks for the measurement Delmo! I really appreciate it.

Pretty close huh? I got mine at a swap meet for about $175 brand new. Summit sells the exact same thing for $275. I plan on getting some Cal Customs valve covers to match the finned top.

By the way your truck is completely BAD@$$!

ruffrida2005 · 09-15-2010, 07:58 PM

The camel spider is pretty cool, we used to make them and scorpians fight in Iraq. That's a small one, and those things could run like the wind.

I guess this one couldn't run fast enough

creep · 09-26-2010, 11:21 AM

My seat is just about ready to go in, just need to tidy up the inside a little. We got the motor fired for the first time also and it sounds really good, little bit of lope to the cam. Tomorrow I'm taking the driveshaft to get shortened. It's getting really close now. Hopefully I will be able to drive it to the last show of the year in 2 weeks.

creep · 09-26-2010, 11:24 AM

The seat and motor

**FRENCHBLUE72** · 09-26-2010, 01:40 PM

Truck looks sweet love the icebox mod for the battery.. If thats thermo tec header wrap on your headers it will rust the header tubes away or at least it did on my truck..

firenuttz · 09-26-2010, 03:14 PM

im sure u mentioned this before but where did u get all of ur suspension stuff, it looks sick and im looking at all possible options for bagging my truck
nice bulid too, i like when people lay the longbeds in the weeds

creep · 09-26-2010, 04:31 PM

Thanks guys.

The header wrap is DEI Titanium. Don't know how good it is but it looks cool and doesn't need sprayed or coated at all.

The air ride is a P-51 crossmember kit for the front and a Superlift wishbone kit for the rear, both made by *****************.

**Captainfab** · 09-27-2010, 12:00 AM

Looking good

What alternator bracket is that? I'm curious since it is a passenger side with a short water pump. Speaking of alternator, it is me or is there something wierd in this pic?

I'm seeing 2 belts on the alternator, but only one makes it to the water pump and crank pulley

i think that u are seeing the reflection of the belt on the chrome

**Captainfab** · 09-27-2010, 12:42 AM

Ahhh now I see. I didn't realize that the alternator pulley was chrome on the front side

Thanks firenuttz

bAD ASS RIDE MAN TO BAD SHE HAS TO GO AWAY FOR THE WINTER..

creep · 11-18-2010, 01:09 PM

Thanks man! I'm sure putting it away will make me appreciate it even more when I get to cruise it again in the spring.

ruffrida2005 · 11-18-2010, 01:46 PM

Just send it to me man. I'll keep it down here. Fill the tires with Nitro it will help them from rotting.

creep · 11-21-2010, 09:44 AM

OK Paul, it is on it's way down to you. I also have some ocean front property in Iowa I'd sell you really cheap.

ruffrida2005 · 11-21-2010, 01:22 PM

dude I bet you can get a pretty penny for that ocean front property. And for real Nitro will help the tires, if you dont put it up on jacks.

creep · 11-21-2010, 03:40 PM

I'm going to put some 4x4s under the frame to reduce the pressure on the tires and bags, I think that should help.

packrat42 · 01-06-2011, 01:53 AM

Good looking truck.
