Re: original-71 update pics after new shoes and drop
Truck looks great! Did you find the power you were looking for? Also from North Houston. Nice to see this truck so close to home.

Re: original-71 update pics after new shoes and drop
thank you appreciate that
thank you brother thank you brother thank you for the compliment. yes I did get the power i was looking for 350/365HP the engine has vortec heads but with a set of valve cover adapters for center bolt heads from speedway you cant really tell kind of just looks like a stock engine but sounds like a beast. i actually live in kingwood close to you also.

Re: original-71 update pics after new shoes and drop
I know this thread is like 7+ years old but that is a beautiful truck. Hopefully one day mine will look like this. Probably not. LMAO!

Re: original-71 update pics after new shoes and drop
Always been a nice looking truck! Engine compartment detailing was the finishing touch. Looks great!!!

Re: original-71 update pics after new shoes and drop
been away for a while figured i would post some recent pictures. i finally got a wood bed kit and was really leaning towards the bed wood and parts kit but came across this kit thanks to a post i saw on facebook. its from www.smokeyroadrodshop.com its an all aluminum kit which for me living in houston was the best option with our crazy weather. it was really easy to install and frank and rhonda are wonderful to deal with. also finally took my truck to the first show LST since the engine bay refreshing and was very happy to pull off a Top100.. heres a few pics for you guys and ladies. this year plan to clean up the engine bay on my 87 now that iam done with the 71

Re: original-71 update pics after new shoes and drop
That's cool. So you drop it in, or have to bolt it in through the floor?

Re: original-71 update pics after new shoes and drop
its dropped in but can be bolted with the rear bolts but i do not think there is a need. i asked for rubber to place under the braces and on the sides of the braces and trimmed the braces to where they are very snug.
