Welcome to the board, what all mods do you have?:rocking:

Welcome to the board, what all mods do you have?:rocking:
Thanks. I think it would be easier for me to just list my mods. Truck started out as a six cylinder 73' SWB with a bad bed and some rust issues(go figure). After getting a "newer" bed and straightening and adding metal I started with the mods.
Lowered 5 by 5 cut springs in front and flip kit in rear. Will be getting an airbag setup this winter to slam the truck to the ground. Chopped the roof 4" and leaned the windshield back. On the interior, i swapped out the old 73 interior and replaced it with the 81-87 interior(i.e. dash and door panels are aftermarket). The net thing was welding a trapezoidal piece of steel across the seat riser on the floor for a nice flat surface to mount the seats. I had a set of Blazer seats reupholstered and mounted them in there. The head liner is a crushed velvet material that is actually stretched and tucked. I have upgraded the look of the gauges with a white face overlay and repainted the inside of the guage box white so that the new red bulbs would light up the guages nice. There is a carbon fiber dash and door kit installed also. I shaved the steering column of its shifter and installed a Hurst Promatic II shifter on the floor. I made custom kick pods housing an 8", a 6.5" and a tweeter. The stereo consist of all Sony Xplod equipment. The next step was swapping out the engine for a 350. 350 has mild head work, mild cam, worked Holley 600 cfm single pump carb, Edelbrock air-gap intake, worked Accel HEI and coil that has been recurved and weighted to eliminate need for vacuum advance, and plain set of chrome headers leading out to stainless glasspacks. The rear only has a 10 bolt with 2.73 ratio but it is being swapped out for 12bolt 4.11 rear very soon. The hood has been fully louvered with 256 louvers(8 rows of 32). The entire steel front end clip tilts forward also. The headlights are Eurolite conversion housings that use an H4 bulb now and the grill came from Godfather customs. The tailgate has a large bowtie recessed into it and the handle has been relocated to the inside of the tailgate. The bed has been covered in Herculiner. I installed a roll top cover from PaceEdwards as well until i make my own tonneau cover out of steel with the same louver pattern as the hood. I installed a fiberglass rollpan on its ass.
I am presently working on a website which will have pics of everything done to the truck but in the meantime, check out these various links of pics at different sites of my truck.

Does anyone know what color that grey one is? Who makes the paint and what is called?

What about the Sand colored truck at the top where it says "Classics Forum". The only with the phantom grille and open hood.

Yes i was at Carlisle. I looked at your sites pics from Carisle and i think you guys were only 50 or 60 feet from where i was siting. Small world isn't it. I know Steve(Wreckmaster) from around the area and local shows but carlisle was before i had really met him.

good looking ride rf232, do you have a good picture of your gauges, i was thinking about doing something like that to mine. thanks.

[rf232]

Thanks. I sure do have picture. All it is is an overlay(sticker) kit. I then paiited the inside of the guage back white to reflect the light more and replaced the bulbs with red ones. check it out.

that is :rocking: where did ya get your white overlays at? if ya don't mind, and how easy is it to remove the needles or do ya? thanks later

[rf232]

I got the overlays off of ebay. The needles should come off easy. I painted the guages before i applied the stickers. These were only supposed to be temporary until i get my dakota digital guages but i liked the way they turned out.

Hey, where did you find the red bulbs? I have white faced guages in mine and I have been thinking about doing that to mine. Do you know the Bulb part #?

The interior looks nice man.:rocking: :rocking:

[bigred305]

Go to a parts house and look it up in thier book then go to a rice shop and get the bulbs there. :D

Thanks, I don't know where the nearest rice shop is, but I should be able to find them fairly easily.



Lucky for me there aren't that many ricers around me, but they are popping up more often...


Hey 5-8 how is the farm truck coming along? Do you have any new mods on it?

[bigred305]

It's going just at a snails pace. I am having a tube upper bridge for my bags made since my cuz and I couldn't find a bender. :read:
Next mods are install my h/u, amp, pair of 12's, component set in !Q form kicks and carpet. :D
Roll pan start of next month and maybe the GMC 'Burb front end being offered by custom classic. :D

You should be able to order those bulbs on line as well. ;)

How much is the Grille custom classic is selling? I have been making plans for motor work so I have changed my mind on alot of exterior and interior mods. I think I am still going to get my Sir mikes roll pan to replace my broken Lund one and then shave my tailgate.

Where do you think would be a good place to look online? I think I may look on APC, any other ideas...

[bigred305]

customclassic.com sells a weld in pan for our rigs for a little over $100 I think. He's got a deal going for FSC members right now. :read:

I think they're gonna run $535 for the complete front end. I'm lucky they are within an hour from we so I wont have to pay shipping.


Sweet I will have to check it out....

Ohh yeah that is a damn good deal on the front-end...:D :D


Thanks for the help man

[bigred305]

Originally posted by 5-8CHEVY

Not a prob. :D


Hey it isn't showing the roll pan on the websight, I guess I will give them a call sometime and check on it. Should I just tell them that I am from FSC to get a discount?

[BaggedC10]

What do you all think---Should I be original and keep my stock setup (Currently, has a T-Rex billet grille in polished finish), or not? :confused:

I believe they are part #194 bulbs, they are your standard plain jane wedge bulbs. I got mine at Autozone for 2 for $2 and they are not fading like some cosmetic bulbs. I believe they were Sylvania bulbs. Stay away from the APC bulbs, they are the same as Sylvania bulbs but in a more expensive wraper. I think they were $3.50 for two. goodluck, let me know how you make out.
