Im doin some work to my Knox bed, does anyone know if someone still makes this tread plate or something similar? [IMG]

Good looking engines IMO, but having worked at a Euro repair shop I had the displeasure of working on them quite a bit. They have their own qwerks...
I like your valve cover wall. very cool
This is very cool. This is how all my builds have to be too, a frankenstein. since Im not good at saving enough money to purchase a good starter...
Final assembly...... all the dirty work is done, fab, paint, etc. I like to really take my time with final assembly, making sure everything is...
Great job, you got the stance nailed
Im gonna go against the grain and say gloss. It will match the sheen of the engine. If you used enamel on the engine the shine should last a long...
For the sake of simplicity I would relocate the original dist and do the belt drive. That way you dont have to worry about advance curves,...
I like to bring #1 to about 8-10 degrees BTDC (maybe more depending on your cam) and set the distributor rotor right to #1. Make sure its on the...
108" and 117" I think
Im doing a similar build with an S10 chassis. Do you know if your chassis is from a short or long bed truck?
Ive done some casting, I can appreciate that job. it looks great.
Great fab work on the frame. You should have it chromed, make all those rivets pop.
Yes I would try the CLR treatment, your truck has a great look IMO. It took a long time for nature to do that.
I KNOW, its a muscle car but it was my first car and I think the black steels really set it off. They are the only way to go. [IMG]
Thanks, I need to get on that. Its a real disapointment to drive right now.
You must own a Drill Dr. lol. Good job with the metal work.

That makes sense I have to really ride the clutch to get it going, either that or dump it and peel out. So I guess I need to look for a new trans...
I hear ya but it will be a full fendered truck. If I were going fenderless there is no way I be running a late model IFS, but I think I will run...
So I got the floor all cut out and am in the middle of the channeling. I think I need to go down a little more. Im not planning on a chop so I...
Ive got a ST10, I think its around a '78 model aluminum case behind a 350 and a 3:42 rear gear. I am really displeased about the take off in 1st...
Thanks thats perfect.
Can someone measure from the back of the front fender to the center of the wheel opening? Thanks alot [IMG]
Im pretty sure you can get a tailhousing from an earlier t5 with a mechanical speedo and it will bolt up to your trans case.
Im diggin it
I plan on shortening the bed and the hood.
Hey guys, Im starting a new build and Im pretty excited about it. I just picked up this 49 White MoCo cab and hood. It came with a clean title so...
