  1. man just a beautiful truck! you probably got to watch that thing like a hawk and keep it locked up at all times down there ? only thing i would do different is tuck the exhaust and roll pan it but i know you clone guys love the stock bumpers.

    thanks everyone for the comments and yeah I don't really drive it since I'm always working and when I do i hardly get off and it had a roll pan a few years back but think it would look weird from the back with the way the claddings are just my .02 and on the exhaust I need to do something about that replacing a 180 dollar tip every other time I take it out isn't in the plans hits pretty bad also just ordered the clear headlights and fogs w/o the orange and led tail lights and might pull the trigger on the red leather interior just can't decide if to go all red or red/white center/white stiching or all red w/just white stiching
  2. No mine doesn't have drop spindles it has drop springs and drop arms and relocated lower control arms so they could align it and so the tires could be straight and yeah if someone could help me out on the rear set up I would really appreciate it thanks

  3. I have a few questions in reference to this kit you think it will work on my 06 silverado 1500 crew cab if I'm not mistaken they come with 12in. Rotors in front and on the rear it has drum brakes would this kit work or what would I need but my rearend is narrowed about 3 1/2in. Per side moreless for the intro wheels and Idk if it matters but my truck is on 22x10/24x10 intros any help would be appreciated ever since I put these wheels cant stand the way the brakes look to small behind the wheels heres a pik these are the only piks I could find working out of town thanks in advance

  6. On the claddings i used the rear doors and extended them,as far as, my truck goes its at the tranny shop right now getting fixed something felt like it was giving out so its getting checked right now as far as the system goes i bought (2)15" kickers L7s now i just got to get the box made so i can install them hopefully it'll be out by the hpt shootout in baytown,tx so i can take her out there will post piks as she makes progress.

    Thanks for all the comment glad you'll like the way its turning out

  7. Thanks and I got most of the claddings here locally from a guy parting out his ss and some in houston on cl and yes your going to have to modify them your going to have to make the rear door longer and rocker and make the bed piece in front of the tire shorter I think theyres some piks of when I was building mine so you can get an idea.

  12. I don't have any links for headers but here's the motor mounts: http://www.ebay.com/...=item3f0d1045e2

     

    Yeah the guys on 6772chevytrucks know a ton about these swaps, when I first did mine it seemed like there wasn't half as much information available on there as there is now. Sounds like you've got the headers figured out the the fbody ones.

     

    Thanks,Matt you didn't have any problems with those mounting your engine since I see they dont have any adjustment, let me know so I can go ahead and order them thanks once again.

  13. I'm running a mid length type for LS1 swaps into s10s and they fit nice, but if I were to do it again I think doug thortly makes some specific for LS swaps into 67-72's that are long tubes. I know there's a guy running gen 2 camaro ls swap headers from speedway motors that are 1 7/8 and they fit fine I guess from what he said. Motor mounts are stock SBC replacements with adapter plates from ebay which are very nice and about $40 bucks which you can't beat since the LS motor bolts right in stock oil pan and all! thumb.gif

     

    You dont have a link or wat do you type on ebay Matt yeah I saw those Doug thortly but they're like 600 i think and the f body stainless r like 200shipped on ebay and they're 1 3/4 I saw that they fit on 67-72chevytrucks.com but u have to modify them alittle where the lower a arm goes on the drivers side and I think the first tube on the pass. side hits depends on wat engine mounts you use.
