Check out my progress - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

chuck1960 · 11-15-2005, 11:30 PM

I've been working on this for about 6 or 7 years and am getting close to installing the drive train. I know it looks like "copperhead" but this is a factory GM color. I am kinda proud, it is finally coming together. I am not very good at the computer thing my secretary (wife) is helping. She says she will teach me soon !!!! What do you think?

TPI is better on gas!! 406 is alot of power though!! Base it on how much you will drive it. OH the 406 it is??

Super Truck. Congratulations on nearing completion. You did a sweet job. It must feel good after 6 or 7 years to see what your truck has transformed into.
Isn't it great to have such a vision and a dream and see it come to reality.
Good Luck. Keep the pics comming.

I have never seen white letter 17" tires before. Is this something new or am I living a sheltered life lately. Looks cool tho

Deuce · 11-16-2005, 12:57 PM

If you have any question about the TPI feel free to ask question as I just finished a TPI 383 in my 67.
