NICE!!! nothing like a big block one ton chevy /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

what kind of power you think you're pushin?
 
Based on a 427 buildup I loosely followed, probably around 450 hp conservatively and around 500 ft lbs torque off of idle.

Got a dyno? I'm just estimating, but I think its close! /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif
 
looking damn good congrats /forums/images/graemlins/thumb.gif /forums/images/graemlins/thumb.gif
 
Had a little spot of rust over the rear fender wells, but thanks to JK5 and photoshop, bodywork turned out perfect! What a good spraygun guy! /forums/images/graemlins/thumb.gif

Conoverbandit, 6" BDS suspension, 3" body.
 
How are the radial TSLs? Quiet?

Looks like someone needs to do some fender cutting. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif
 
NICE TRUCK, It's good to see ya put the money in a BB & not a SB. I dump close to 5 grand into my 383 & was happy until I got my stock '88 TRK with a TBI 454. I will never rebuild SB AGAIN..... /forums/images/graemlins/truck.gif /forums/images/graemlins/usaflag.gif
 
TITE!!!!! /forums/images/graemlins/thumb.gif

If yah want...we can fix the rust with sheet metal, duraglass and paint next time!!! /forums/images/graemlins/thinking.gif
 
Thanks for the compliments everyone! /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif 84 Chevy K10, I think the radial Super Swampers are pretty quiet, to me anyway. I used to have 35" BFG Mud T/A's when I was 1/2 ton, and they were definitely louder than these new tires.
 
WOW!!! Maybe I'll get some radials then. Even so, sweet truck. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif /forums/images/graemlins/thumb.gif /forums/images/graemlins/thumb.gif
 
That is definately one sweet ride Mike!!!!!!! Even better looking up close! That BBC was definatley screamin for some mud at Summit though! /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif

Cool Beans! /forums/images/graemlins/thumb.gif
