Well, the Trailblazer SS headers from Kooks "fit" I guess you could say... Keven had to take a little of the driver side motor motor mount (which he'll strengthen back up during tear-down) & he'll have to take a little off a piece of the block that sticks out on the passenger side, but they should work out.
They do look really nice on there though!!! :metal: |

Hard to see kinda, but here's the cross-over set-up Keven fab'd up between the fuel rails behind the intake.

Here's a shot of the F.A.S.T. injector pigtails Keven had to wire into my Mast harness for the EV1 style injectors. You can see he had to cut away the insulation wrap - he'll re-do all that & has some high speed billet clamps for all the wiring & stuff to dress it up during final assembly.

A little off topic from my build for just a sec....
I had attempted to buy my Daughter a truck once before, but it was a little more rusty than I wanted & of course the wife objected... I finally found one locally & it's now sitting comfortably in my garage!!! :bann: It's a '79 SWB :gmc2: - currently no motor or trans in it, but that's Ok - already had plans for that!!! Bodies in decent shape & it already has the style of mirrors I wanted. It's an A/C truck, so I'll re-do that & get it working for her eventually. She'll be 13 in February, so I've got 3 years to build it with her so she has it for her first car!!! Once I get home in May for vacation we'll do some work on it & I'll post a new thread just for it. Planning on doing a small static drop with 16" Wheel Vintiques Series 66 wheels - she wants them powder coated red - and then maybe go flat black with the body or something. |

Re: 1977 Chevy K30 Crew Cab Build

Re: 1977 Chevy K30 Crew Cab Build
Well if you make her truck as nice as your crew cab then it will probably be her first and last vehicle! http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/i...lies/metal.gif

Re: 1977 Chevy K30 Crew Cab Build
Fuel tank is back at Mario's shop from the media blaster so he'll be painting it this week - that is if he can get the heavy thing into the paint booth... Hopefully he'll send along some pics so I can get 'em posted!

Re: 1977 Chevy K30 Crew Cab Build
Glad you got it 3 years in advance. I got mine on the last day I was 14 and it was still not enough time. :lol: 16 and licensed and it's not ready yet :waah:

Re: 1977 Chevy K30 Crew Cab Build
A very Merry Christmas to all my thread fans out there!
No pics this week as Keven was on other projects... Mario's working on the tank, but nothing from him yet as far as pictures go. Hopefully the New Year will bring more fun & excitement!!! |
Re: 1977 Chevy K30 Crew Cab Build

Fuel tank is in the booth!!! Here it is in acid etch primer & he's working on the sealer as I type this. Feel sorry for him having to move that hurking thing around in the shop - look at the chains holding it up....

Re: 1977 Chevy K30 Crew Cab Build

Re: 1977 Chevy K30 Crew Cab Build
this is nice build...78 was my first rig as well
|
Re: 1977 Chevy K30 Crew Cab Build
That tank is pretty nice!
|
Re: 1977 Chevy K30 Crew Cab Build
Thanks - that tank is actually the second one they built - first was much plainer & didn't have the kick-out over the rear axle so it was less volume. I've lightened the front end considerably & with this extra weight out back it should aid the weight distribution & traction.
I am really trying to having done the right way in the beginning as I only want to do this process once!!! Appreciate all the comments - keep checking back - hoping to have more pics this week! |
Re: 1977 Chevy K30 Crew Cab Build
I know its a little late in the game... and not sure if this was brought up before..... and I'm not spending my money.... ;)
CLICK HERE and check out the links and video... LED headlights with a blacked out look from Harley Davidson... http://img11.shop-pro.jp/PA01146/851...23.jpg?2011120 Light Output Diagram |
Re: 1977 Chevy K30 Crew Cab Build
No, I already have the LED headlights from Truck Lite & they match the front LED light bar & rear bumper LED lights exactly. That is a different look though!!!

Well, here's the fuel tank finally in black!!! :metal:
It's still wet in this pic & Mario says that it'll flatten out nicely in about 8 hrs. of drying time. :smoke: Should match my frame & other parts really well! This is the same color he'll end up doing my hood stripes & engine bay in too. :chevy: |
