What a cool looking truck.
That color is damn pretty with a little patina....and I learned something new today!
Linseed oil. Guess what I'm gonna do to my patina'd truck.
Keep making it more bad ass!
And keep the pics coming.

Hedman hedders are installed! They had to come on and off a total of three times - so i definitely got the hang of it. It was really an easy fit with those hedders. Didn't have to remove the starter or loosen a motor mount. The only thing I had to change out was the spark plugs as the normal length NGK's i was running were too long once the heddres were installed - so off they came again and I installed Accel's header plugs, which were quite a bit shorter and fit perfectly. Once i did that - my old ignition wires were too loose so i bought a custom cut kit and installed some 8mm Accel wires all cut to custom lengths. Truck runs and sounds great - it goes to the local exhaust shop tomorrow to have the Flowmaster C10 kit installed! I am so stoked to finally get this truck sounding right as i've been running on a rusty exhaust with stock manifolds since i got it - and straight open header for a week now
I'll upload a video once I get the flowmasters installed incase anyone is contemplating this same hedman/flowmaster set up on their SBC.

Side note: the original engine tie downs that i was questioning earlier did not fit after the header installation. Really hoping I don't start breaking motor mounts left and right...
