 seems to be some sweet pickups in Altus - we all need to form a  Okie 73-87 club and cruise 66 or somethin one nice weekend...I am alone here in my part of the world...not too many 73-87's up here that don't have rusty beds with a hay spike juttin out the back...

[krazylunatic]

i agree with above post, theres quite a few around altus

[choptop]

That is exactly the look I want for my choptop.Not sure how Im gonna get it through the hood, the intake is port matched on the 427 and would take alot of machine work to get a tunnel ram to fit. I'll figure something out. That looks awesome.

Thanks Terminator, it's a a 1955 GM color called Gypsy Red.

Yeah, there are alot of trucks and cars around here that are really nice. One of these days, I'll have to take photos of everything  that runs around here and post them up. Cruise-ins are nice. Maybe we can attend some in your neck of the woods this spring. We like to cruise Meridian during the Street Rod Nationals weekend, but seems like the last couple of years, they haven't been very cruiser friendly.

Since there is plenty of room under these hoods, it does take alot to get anything above the hood. Even with the blower and top hat, I had to add a 2" spacer to raise everything thru the opening enough to look right. Since the options are pretty slim, a tunnel ram would look nice tho. They even make the bug catcher to fit them also , it's a shame they are so ridiculously expensive. There is a fat tired stepside to the south of us that that has a sbc with a twin carbed tunnel with 2 velocity stacks sticking thru the hood that looks really tough. Hope you figure out a way to achieve the look you're after. Where there's a will, there's a way!

Very Nice CB75. The hood turned out good too. Sometimes, you gotta give the ladies their way too. Nice she evens lets you spend some money to have such a vehicle. Looks about magazine cover ready to me. BTW, I am in Moore. You ever get the notion to run it at ThunderVallery in Noble, be sure to get in touch and let me know. I'd sure be interested in seeing it run. You don't have to worry about me stealing it. It don't have AC.  hahaha, yeah right !!! I was just posting on another thread, I am not much of a fan of lowered trucks. That one I can handle lowered. There is a good purpose to be lowered and not only looks. 

[CoggedBelt75]

Thanks hotrodpc. You are right about giving them their way too, so might as well give credit where credit is due. Even tho this has been a joint deal, without her I don't think this ever would have been possible. She is the financial adviser and keeps me in check. Without their understanding and backing, it's much harder to achieve your goals and have the enjoyment along the way.

As for Thundervalley, it will be awhile. For now we just like cruising around. But one day we will go to Lawton on the 1/8 mile track just for giggles. Just not ready for the track addiction yet.  And the A/C, I'm already working on it

[hotrodpc]

hahaha, are you really putting AC in that thing??? You don't see hotrods with AC very often. I was actually being a smartazz when I said that. Not sure how big your cam is, but if its a big one, it sure don't need anything else to help it overheat. Looks like a good ride to be cruising around in the spring and the fall. Winter and Summer I think I'd have it parked. Summer evenings probably would not be bad either.

I love AC!

[hotrodpc]

I love AC, but not so sure I'd have it in a vehicle like this. I'd be driving it in the spring, fall and summer evenings where AC is not that critical. Also, less weight, less overheating, less parts in my way to do the maintainence etc. Its a Street/Strip cruiser, not an Escalade. LMAO!!! JMO though. I know with OK humidity, I will not be without AC in my daily driver. Even on summer nights when its 80 I still use my AC cuz of the humidity. Could always do the redneck method, A 5000 BTU ac window unit through the back slider glass, and bolt down a small generator in the bed. That way he can take it out when not in use. Git'r Done !!!

[VileZambonie]

A/C in a hot rod to me is classy. Plus babes don't like humidity

[CoggedBelt75]

Guess the wife and I are just getting to old and soft, but it is too darn hot to go out sometimes, even in the evenings. There are plenty of hot rodders around here that use A/C, and I hope to be one of them soon . Other than an interior redo, that's all that is left to do. I'm seeing a Vintage Air install in the not too distant future. Not concerned with any kind of weight savings since this is 100% street driven. I haven't had any over heating issues since I stalled the new engine and blower, even with the stock radiator. So creature comforts are a must. Even just the drive home from work is stifling at times in the cab. Right now, winter is really the best time to drive her. The heater is real toasty and the blower likes the cool air. Not much of a fall here in our corner of the state, seems to go from summer straight to winter. So, for now, I'm patiently waiting to hear "order it"

[hotrodpc]

Cool !!! Pun Intended !!! You're right about your corner of the state. From Summer to Winter. Sometimes watching the weahter in the summer, I say, I am sure glad I don't live there. In the winter, I say the say the same about the pan handle and Guymon, the Northwest corner. So you gonna try to go factory air installation, or aftermarket under the dash unit?

[CoggedBelt75]

Plans are for the Vintage Air system at the moment. Neat and clean install. Even will be able to use the factory dash outlets. I do still have the factory air I pulled out tho. Still kind'a kick myself in the butt at times for doing this, but the "suitcase box" just didn't look right to me sitting in the compartment. So that option is totally out of the picture. All of this is still a want for now but in time will certainly become a need .
