Re: '72 c-20 rat build

That looks awesome! Love the look. The red seatbelts are a nice complimenting touch too!

Re: '72 c-20 rat build

Nice work on the powder and I really like the way you painted up the tailgate band. Nice touch!

Re: '72 c-20 rat build

Have you checked your mileage with the big block. Is it a 454?

its a 400... and i only get about 8mpg towing the enclosed trailer pictured. i'm going to swap carbs to an edelbrock carb i have and see if that improves any.

i have a rear main seal leak, and a friend of mine has a 454 he offered me for cheap, so i'm looking at probably buying that motor from him and swapping it in... if i can find a 5 speed at that time i may do that as well.
