520 gasser Posted March 12, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 12, 2013 Sorry not yet going to pull from old frame tomorrow in class getting things ready to go home haven't had time with my finals going on the last two weeks. As for that mock up motor. That's a 400 sbc And it's the motor that will be in the truck runs and everything just needs fule lines and a water pump with rad and some one off headers. The trans is going to be a Muncie 4 speed not a fan of autos in my trucks 1 Quote Link to comment

520 gasser Posted March 24, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 24, 2013 so i have 521 doors on my 520. looked at a post that had pics of each door from each truck and my locks are in the same place as a 521 but i have 520 sheet metal up front??? its a 67 and that is what the vin plate has on it. wonder if this is a mid year thing when they was changing over to 521 to use up some left over 520 parts or the ran out of 520 cabs so they started useing the 521 cab insted. i would like another door for the driver side that does not have the pull knob for the lock if anyone has one in the spokane seattle area i would be willing to traid or buy. got my front rims to go with the rears i have 15 x 4.5 going to run a 185 x 15 should be 25 inch tall 5 inch wide 2 Quote Link to comment

thisismatt Posted April 26, 2013 Report Share Posted April 26, 2013 Oh does a valence the thing under the front bumper off of a 521 fit a 520? I need one and this truck has a beautiful one I'd be surprised if they were the same. Either way I think you should get it, and if it doesn't work sell it to me :) Quote Link to comment
