RCbowtie69 · 01-18-2011, 09:56 PM

any progress,i'm like seeing the hard work & pictures of the build ,keep on truckin''

the wheels looks great also

grayharville · 01-19-2011, 12:59 AM

thanks alot, and no I havent done much with this thing lately, I have an 84 k-5 blazer with an 8 inch lift and 38s, that i am currently building a motor for.

I kinda like to mix my projects up, Ill work on the 70 until I lose interest, then work on my K-5 or my SWB, then come back to the 70, and the process repeats. It stays more interesting that way.

RCbowtie69 · 01-19-2011, 09:33 PM

don't blame u there,sometimes it's good 2 mix things up,keep on truckin''

maxxxy · 01-19-2011, 10:51 PM

This is cool truck. I like what you've done with it. Who says us young people can't do this kinda work? Lol. I think you need more pics. Lol

yes it does, but I havent made much progress on the truck lately. Im taking a break from it. Im about to update my k-5 build thread, im currently building up a corvette 350 to drop in it, and it looks pretty!

grayharville · 01-20-2011, 07:06 PM

Heres a few shots that I had taken with the truck for my senior pictures. I know the photo quality sucks, as I took a picture of a picture. When i have access to a disc drive ill show the real ones.

67chevylongbed · 01-20-2011, 10:38 PM

Cool pics, the truck looks great.

grayharville · 02-01-2011, 05:02 PM

grayharville · 02-01-2011, 07:28 PM

Thanks alot for the comments, The AC compressor is locked up, owell... I also took the subwoofer out of the truck when I painted the thing satin black, I plan on building a center console to hold my Jensen flip out touchscreen I acquired the other day... Hmmmm

np man. haha owell no a/c
ive been meaning to build a center console for my truck too i got a 12" sub for free. someone already hacked up my dash but o well.

cant wait to see that touchscreen in there man haha.

grayharville · 02-01-2011, 11:52 PM

As soon as I can think of a way to make it flow well with the dash, and hold my water temp gauge, Ill build it. I would love to put a nice sub in here too, what kind did you get for free? I currently have a memphis M class 12 in a probox superbass box in my 2010.. Itll make the dash flex..

grayharville · 02-07-2011, 12:05 AM

Today I fixed my suspension problem. I had a DUHH! moment and realized why my dropped front suspension was bottoming out, it was hitting the bumpstops! so I jacked the truck up, took the front tires off, busted out my favorite tool (cutting torch) and cut off the damned bumpstops. Now my truck rides so much better, almost as though it were stock.

I have a swaybar that i can get for free, will it make much of a difference on my truck? I mean, Is it worth doing?

67chevy1series · 02-07-2011, 12:17 AM

wow your tail gate is alot worse then mine! its bigger and theres a huge dent by the letters.......

grayharville · 02-07-2011, 12:19 AM

Haha yessirr. My great grandpa really didnt like looking behind him while backing up lol

67chevy1series · 02-07-2011, 12:21 AM

grayharville · 02-07-2011, 12:39 AM

All these new cars have fancy backup sensors, in 1970 they didnt give a sh** if you backed over somethin, they were too busy makin badass trucks

67chevy1series · 02-07-2011, 12:52 AM

yes true the less electircs the better!

grayharville · 02-07-2011, 01:08 AM

less weight = more speed

i cleaned all the junk out of the 70 today, i bet itll go 145 mph now. 130-140 mph was about all it had before. bahaha

Cdaddy731 · 02-09-2011, 01:58 PM

nice truck man. If you're in Murchison, im in LaRue/New York area. MAYBE 10 minutes down the road. Keep up the good work

grayharville · 02-09-2011, 02:29 PM
