nice truck

CoreyLeo223 · 08-26-2010, 08:41 AM

That is one of the sweetest trucks ive seen. I like how simple the look is while still being bad a**. Its kinda the look im going for with the same engine/tranny combo. Good info and again sweet truck.

Where did you get your cowl hood from? I like the smaller cowls, but most aftermarket ones I've found have bigger cowls. Thanks for helping out though.

Cherub,

I totally Love your truck man!
What's your average mileage like since the 6.0 transplant?

I'm thinking of doing an LS swap on my '86 with fuel economy in mind as regular gas is about 3 times as expensive here as it is the US.
I Will probably end up with a 5.3 / 4L60E combo.

Hope you don´t mind me thinking about gettting a set of those 225....
I love them.

Btw I wonder how far my truck´s color is off from yours as it looks pretty similar.

Yea they sure do look close. if you were down my way we would have to see.

Cherub · 01-08-2011, 11:54 AM

little photo shoot i did. havent done much just stripped the paint on the headlight bezels.

joe231 · 01-08-2011, 01:01 PM

very nice!!

erikgto · 01-08-2011, 03:26 PM

Awesome photos!!!

btw what backspace are you running on those 225's?
And what's the curb weight on yours?!?

I still have to check if they fit cause mine has HD brakes..

68GMCCustom · 01-08-2011, 04:04 PM

well i just got my income tax check in and now im ready to replicate your truck lol.....im looking to get my 350 Rebuilt anyone in town you suggest? or would it be cheaper to just get a crate from local folks.

silvereagle07 · 01-13-2011, 12:56 PM

Sweet pics Cherub!

Puglia10 · 02-08-2011, 01:26 PM

wow this truck is unreal, love everything about it. hopefully ill get there someday!

Can't kech me · 06-23-2012, 10:32 PM

Beautiful, that's the stance i'm goin for on my truck, and the same wheel/tire combo, and mines an 82 (coincidence?) mine wont be identical though, ill have a few more things shaved, and it will be red. but your truck really is an inspiration and motivation for me to finish mine.

i know i'm picky, but can you by any chance fix the bent fin in the grill? it would be 100% perfect

Cherub · 06-25-2012, 09:51 PM

Naw i wont be fixing that grill Im going a different route. good luck on your project.

primrrd · 07-05-2012, 12:58 AM

Cherub · 11-11-2012, 02:27 PM

Well after having the truck sitting for about a year i got off my butt. Had Sxt performance tune and fix some gremlins that had been haunting me. Man this thing moves. Finished off the 91 suburban front end and the dodge 20" spares.... washed it off for a quick pic

now it needs a new 3.73 rear end and posi......

Cherub · 11-11-2012, 02:34 PM

lnwlfbsktbll · 11-12-2012, 04:04 AM

you are correct they dont make a 5x5 dodge wheel. They are 5x5.5 and you have to use adapters to mount them.

lnwlfbsktbll · 11-12-2012, 02:56 PM

Ahh ok cool thanks.
