520 gasser Posted November 18, 2012 Report Share Posted November 18, 2012 I just startted this truck about a month ago I will try to get so pic on here this coming week. This little truck had a lot rust the past two weeks I cut both rockers out and the hole floor except for the back half of the tunnel. Had to build new body mount and in the process I added a 1 3/4 round tribe inside the new rockers I built to tie the front and rear body mounts together and to give me a place to mount the roll cage to Motor is a 400 small block Chevy All new frame Straight Alex for the front Have 9 inch ford for the rear 15x10 smoothie with 29x9 cheater slicks 2 Quote Link to comment

520 gasser Posted November 28, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 28, 2012 Spent the day mounting the cab and cutting the bed bolts. Why do they use 10 bolts to hold down the bed? 1 Quote Link to comment
wayno Posted November 28, 2012 Report Share Posted November 28, 2012 Spent the day mounting the cab and cutting the bed bolts. Why do they use 10 bolts to hold down the bed? Why does dodge use 4? At least you don't have to take your truck in and have the bed mounts fixed like the dodges, when you really use them like a truck. 2 Quote Link to comment

stillachevyguy Posted January 12, 2013 Report Share Posted January 12, 2013 a 400 really? you're gonna have serious cooling bullshit if that thing has any compression 1 Quote Link to comment
520 gasser Posted January 12, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 12, 2013 Every one has said the same thing about the 400 they are no different than a 350 other than there is no water flowing between the cylinders and it is externally balanced. I have read many books and talked to many motor builders and they get a bad rep because people put 350 heads on without drilling the steam holes in the head witch builds psi in the block and creaking the.
