Amazing truck man, just wondering if you have any pics of your bucket seat bracket setup with out the seat on it. Im thinking about changing my bench for racing buckets and wanting to get an idea on what I have to fab up.

Thanks,
Sorry, but I don't have pics of the seat brackets. The guy I got it from had done that race seat. I pulled it out the day I got it and don't really recall how it was! Sorry I'm not a big help with your question!

This might be a weird question but do you happen to know the paint code off that truck.  My old man got a 79 chevy from his dad about 20 years ago that same green, 1/2 ton straight 6, 2wd, 3 on the tree..great little truck but anyhow i miss that truck so i've been thinking about painting mine that same green. Nice truck BTW.

A big blocks in the plan....a "489" at this point. It changes daily...LOL but that seems to be what I keep going back to. Yeah, I'd like to go "blown" at some point but going N/A first.

I'm really diggin your truck!! I saw it on the other chevy boards awhile back and LOVE IT!! I might have a few questions for you down the road...seeing how your down with the whole "prostreet" look as well. Glad to see your on this site!!!!

Sorry bro,
I have no clue! That's how it was when I got it. I could maybe email the owner before me and see if I get a reply on your question if you'd like!?

When your ready to build your 489 - 505 let me know I send you a complete parts list and prices that I used for my 489 and my 505. If you are going to put together a BBC from scratch (score a bare block only) its not too much more to put together a stroker engine. They make a off shore cast 4.25 that's good to 500 horse all the way through forged american that will handle anything you throw at it.

great looking truck cant wait to more progress ;D

Thanks
Dan

Thanks Dan,
   Good to know……

The only thing I have for my motor as of now, is a block that has already had the machine work done to it.  All the other stuff is up in the air at this time…..LOL!! Been playing with Desktop Dyno just for fun and that will get you off task in a hurry!

You talk to Adam way to much....and or maybe I do!?!? Yes, I've been off task.....besides it been kinda hot out lately so I've been taking a break! Tell Adam to worry about his turbo project and tell him (or if he reads this to build a real motor)......LOL I'm only playing, not hating!
