]2eDeYe Posted February 11, 2007 Report Share Posted February 11, 2007 Figured I post up my truck... When I first picked it up it looked like this..:) First thing I did was shave the doors. :D Then I picked up some big ol wheels :cool: Then she got drrroooooppeed :eek: After that it was a date witha few spraycans :cool: Then I blew the motor (again)...so now it's time for a complete rebuild... mmm balanced, blueprinted and lightened L20 with A87 peanut head Also thanks to Ted, I'm combining this truck with a straight disc braked body & frame... That's it for now, trucks going under the knife this week, and I'll be picking up that silver one next Sunday :D 1 Quote Link to comment
]2eDeYe Posted February 12, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 12, 2007 Me and the dag got to work today.... The reason for the size of the makeover Interior and a bit of the exterior onto the save pile...should be finished with teardown of this one this week... :cool: 1 Quote Link to comment
Icehouse Posted February 12, 2007 Report Share Posted February 12, 2007 Now I see why you want a new shell (510 lingo) rusty floors sucks. Usually when the floors look like that there is more hiding. Also you will see what I mean about the 18's once you get the disk brake truck. The rear end is much wider. I had to slightly roll the fender edge. Quote Link to comment
]2eDeYe Posted February 12, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 12, 2007 The cancer has run rampant and someone put bondo over alot of it..:mad: I'll be swapping out the rearend to help with the clearance issue. You get your wheels on the front yet? Quote Link to comment
Cuts metal like mad Posted February 12, 2007 Report Share Posted February 12, 2007 NOPE! lol I just saw Jeff last night, and no fronts yet... but DAMN that motor is sweet. Quote Link to comment
Icehouse Posted February 12, 2007 Report Share Posted February 12, 2007 No I haven't put them on yet, I have a flat tire on one of them. I want to run 215 35 18's to help with the cearence. My rig is like yours it will be tucking a little tire, yeah. Your rust is like the 521 I'm working on. I don't understand why people bondo over rust. I haven't found any holes besides the floors yet.

]2eDeYe Posted February 13, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 13, 2007 Works excellent, one of the best upgrades I've done to my truck ;) Quote Link to comment
Icehouse Posted February 13, 2007 Report Share Posted February 13, 2007 2eDeYe;1890'']BTW Ice, how'd you get the paint off your radiator? I used a wire wheel in a battery drill, I got the wheel from shucks it kinda light duty, I think it cost 1.99 or something. I want to polish it sometime. Maybe when I turbo it :) Before I try and fit the Armadas on the front I have to grind the hub. With the 521 project going I haven't spent much time on the 620. Its funny how once you start driving them, they are much harder to work on. I want to try and order a factory carpet kit. Do you have the part number by chance? Quote Link to comment
Bleach Posted February 13, 2007 Report Share Posted February 13, 2007 that 620 teardown brings back memories... :D lookin' good Quote Link to comment
1lo620 Posted February 13, 2007 Report Share Posted February 13, 2007 I like when you polish up the radiators, with all that brass you get it all shiny Quote Link to comment
1lo620 Posted February 13, 2007 Report Share Posted February 13, 2007 Speaking of polished radiators...Does anyone know where I can get anodized radiator, valve cover caps. I have seen them but I just cant find them...like the ones in the picture.. Quote Link to comment
