took it on a maiden voyage yesterday to bremerton wa. to the drags.only problems i found in the shake down were a leaky poly tank and a plugged fuel filter. the best 1/4 mile time i had was a 14.41 at 92.73 miles per hour.

Johns70,
Very SWEET truck!! Best way I found to fix those leaky poly tanks is to send them back to where you bought it and buy a steel one!! Truck looks real good.

Nice truck,what brand of steering wheel is that? I like it. Thanks John

Johns70 · 08-17-2003, 07:09 PM

i have know clue how much hp i'm getting out of it, but i can say its not enough. i wanted in the 13's so bad with what i had, maybe next time.

the steering wheel is a grant, i don't remember the number though.maybe 1150 but not sure.

Bigdog257 · 08-17-2003, 07:53 PM

Truck looks great. Ho0w about some bed pictures. Do you have the filler in the bed?

mooneyes · 08-17-2003, 08:23 PM

sweet truck....love the rodlites....

Johns70 · 08-17-2003, 09:07 PM

no pics of the bed yet. i don't like how my fuel filler turned out, i don't want to show how i have it buggered up. i'll post so when i have it finished.
thank you for all the compliments.
about time i got the painting figured out ,if i could paint like randy it would have been done at the beginning of summer. thank you again for the compliments guys. now the wife will ride around in it and be more willing to let me buy stuff for it.

GMCrazy · 08-17-2003, 10:31 PM

that's a mighty purdy truck! good job man.

kickboxr3 · 08-17-2003, 10:59 PM

You've a good looking truck there.(sigh)
Makes me wish mine was already done.
Enjoy she looks great!

70c10 · 08-17-2003, 11:15 PM

Nice job John, I like the stance and I just noticed you didn't install the hood Bowtie. Turned out great!

Johns70 · 08-17-2003, 11:40 PM

thanks again

yeah no emblems i smoothed it over a little, no stake pockets, fuel fill, side emblems, and of the hood emblem.
the only thing still original is the hood and glove box door,frame and rear axle, but all the panels are factory panels the only new sheet metal is repro rockers, 30 yr old take off tailgate and a nos front bed panel,every thing else was donated from other trucks.

i'd like to do some ghost flames one of these days and maybe some engine emblems air brushed on the side of the fenders.

jakobs71chevy · 08-18-2003, 11:30 AM

do you have headers? uncap the exhaust is a good way to shave some time. plus some slicks or real soft tires but those soft tires really get chewed up.

krue · 08-18-2003, 03:35 PM

Great looking truck man!
