Just wanted to say thanks to all.....
 

I am a new member here and wanted to thank everyone here who has been helping me with my new truck. I found this truck on ebay....had it shipped across the country to me (was damaged during transit in drivers fender)
I did not know much at all about these trucks untill I found this web site (thank you lord) I have gained very much knowlege over the past month from all of you guys here...and would not have been able to start working on this project without you all....SO THANK YOU.

Let me give some details of work completed in the month that
I have had this truck. 1970 CST-10 402 big block

I just installed Air Ride tech cool ride kit w/ digital controller.
CCP full disc brake 5 lug conv (was 6 lug) cross drilled and slotted...replaced
brake booster and master cylinder...
Installed new Foose Nitrous 18" front and 20" rear wheels

Engine work: Lunati Cam and lifters, Edelbrock pro performed manifold, full roller rockers, pete jackson gear drive, and I have some ceramic hooker headers to install after the cam is broken in. So far it sounds good..cant wait to install the headers and reroute the exhaust.

I plan to poss install a wood bed or show deck...still trying to make up my mind. I hope everyone likes the truck so far...Please give feedback on what you guys think....after all this truck would not be where it is at without you! :metal:

Re: Just wanted to say thanks to all.....
 

that's a bad ass lookin ride.
What do you think about the 402?

Re: Just wanted to say thanks to all.....
 

Ya know, I'm not really a big fan of long beds but Dang! I like yours. Color combo and stance is great and you're tweakin the big block too. It's kewl..:metal:

Re: Just wanted to say thanks to all.....
 

Great looking truck!:D

Re: Just wanted to say thanks to all.....
 

The 402...I will have to let you know after the headers are on. I have not pushed it yet. After the carb is tuned Ill post up how its running. I like that everyone at the local shows talk to me about the engine. I am learning alot about these chevy trucks...I love the look of them, really like the SWB trucks. I want to have one of the best LWB trucks when I get finished with it if poss. I am going to try anyways!:but:

Re: Just wanted to say thanks to all.....
 

That should put some of the long box haters in their place. You have a perfect combo there. All the stock trim and paint, nice stance with your air ride and I will begrudgingly say...I even like the wheel tire combo. (slowly coming around to liking the larger size wheels) :)

Re: Just wanted to say thanks to all.....
 

Looking real nice!!!:metal:
Did you use the voodoo series Lunati? What specs?
s/t

Re: Just wanted to say thanks to all.....
 

Me likey

Re: Just wanted to say thanks to all.....
 

That has got to be one of the baddest long beds on the board...How in the heck did they damage that truck? I know they fixed you up afterwards???

Re: Just wanted to say thanks to all.....
 

Lunati-Voodoo is correct.

268 int./276 exh.
Valve Lift with Factory Rocker Arm Ratio: 0.542 int./0.554 exh. lift

Also the roller rockers are 1.7's (full rollers)


Do you think that was a good one to get?? :dum:

Re: Just wanted to say thanks to all.....
 

The truck is beautiful man! I love the additions that you've made especially to the engine. The air suspension really set the attitude for your truck, and the wheels finished off the deal!

Good luck on any other mods you decide to do. This site is great, and there are a lot of great members on the board. Just one big happy family!

Re: Just wanted to say thanks to all.....
 

Beautiful truck!

Re: Just wanted to say thanks to all.....
 

Absolutely awesome! You've done more in a month than I have in the last couple years. :lol:

Re: Just wanted to say thanks to all.....
 

Another 18 wheeler hit the transport carrier...I just finished fighting with the transport CO. about the repair. That is going to get repaired next. I need to find someone who knows what they are doing...I want it done right!

Re: Just wanted to say thanks to all.....
 

Man i would be sick...yep find somebody that'll treat her like their own.

Again, that' one bad truck!

Re: Just wanted to say thanks to all.....
 

I like the air ride system....but now that I know how to install it, I would prob
buy everything in pieces to make it cheaper. Air Ride tech makes a good kit...but its pricey $$. You can make a kit for cheaper through sucide doors.
Other than that, I love that you can slam it when parked. Also rides good down the road with the bigger tires. :)

Re: Just wanted to say thanks to all.....
 

Very nice LWB!!!!

Re: Just wanted to say thanks to all.....
 

NIce truck!!!! one of the best LWBs I've seen!
I also agree!!! THIS SITE ROCKS!! Best money I've spent..glad I found it.

Re: Just wanted to say thanks to all.....
 

Very nice. I wish either one of mine looked that good. What did it cost before mods?

Re: Just wanted to say thanks to all.....
 

$8750.00 for the truck. $1200 to ship from WA state. I think It was a good deal?

I sold my race bike to fund all the stuff installed this past month.

Re: Just wanted to say thanks to all.....
 

truck looks great, sucks about the fender.. did they take responsibility for it?

Re: Just wanted to say thanks to all.....
 

Yes...They are sending me a check shortly

HUGE problem getting them to pay
