My '82 Shortbed
« on: December 25, 2008, 11:20:52 pm »
Here's my '82 Custom Deluxe.  Started life as a 250L6 truck, thinkin a straight shift because it has the straight shift brake pedal.  I bought it with a 350/350 combo, truck has a 3.73 10 bolt 1 wheel squeal.  I plan on doing ALOT to this truck....anyhow, here she is

Here's the 350.  It right now has a stockish camshaft, 882 heads, cast iron intake, and a Q-jet.  I plan on shaving the heads, putting an Edelbrock Performer RPM Q-jet intake, and a Crane 100182 camshaft in it, and a 2500 stall converter in the trans.

Interior, nothing special, but it's not in bad shape in my opinion, I do want cloth seats, carpet, a new dashpad, and tinted windows

When I got the truck, it had crappy 2" duals ran that looked like a caveman bent the pipes with Mellowtone mufflers.  Ditched all that, got 2.5" ran off the headers with an H pipe and Super 40 mufflers turned down at the axle towards the tires.  Good sounding truck, wish it was a little louder, but I think shavin the heads and cam will help that.

Another shot, I got 3D style Euro Tails on it, and my buddy's 78 Sits behind my truck.

Yeah I got some videos on the cellphone, they'd have to be converted to WMA or MPEG unless you have quicktime.  The tires on the back are 285/70s and 255/70s up front.  Thanks for the compliments!

that is a nice truck, do yourself a favor and put those 882's next to your door and use them as a door wedge and get some stock vortec heads and be prepared to really burn some rubber  ;D
