new guy from north texas
« on: January 14, 2010, 06:53:32 pm »
hello everyone, i am from a small town in north Texas about 45 miles north east of Dallas, Tx. i have a 1973 Chevy Stepside that i have had since high school. i am in the process of doing a frame off restoration on it. i will be installing a 408 small block with a Coan Racing turbo 400 trans. the motor has 225cc Dart heads fully ported and polished flowing 315 cfm, 2.08 valves, Callies steel crank, callies rods, JE pistons, and a crane Billet solid roller cam .715 Lift. the motor has 10.5 to 1 compression so it will be still streetable. i have 4.10 gears with a Powertrax's locker and will be installing Caltrac's traction bars. the truck is lowered with a flip kit on the rear and belltech springs up front. if it had a bolt in came off and i sandblasted the frame, A-frame, and rear end. i painted everything on the chassis with KBC frame coat and it turned out great. i will post pics asap. i got some with it still together and during the rebuild process.

Welcome from NW Indiana.  You either have to use photobucket or play around and shrink your pics till it meet the size requirements.
