my truck is getting there.....

[BigdaddyDupree]

Well as many of ya know my truck has been devil spawn for three years now and not real sure if its right now. lol heres my story

bought the truck from hal about three years ago. i was wanting a street truck and he was in a bind needing to sell so i took a leap in the fire. It caught my eye and i honestly didnt know what kind of addiction i bought. the truck had a steel headed 355 with a stock 700 r4 stock one wheel peel rear with nice wheels n shiny paint. damn you hal. the truck had one seat and shaved doors. i got locked out more then you could imagine. I got to drive the truck and decided i wanted faster and that a s10 with a sbc was too normal so i wanted LS. bought a 5.3 and me n ray ray went to town

well we ran the truck for a lil while ironing out issues. and then i decided i wanted some nitrous. and then parts started to break. like the rear end.

so we put a 9" in it, stock legnth with 33 spline mosers, 4.11 and a spool with disk brakes yo. then i took the truck to automotive solutions and had a cage put in it

and also upgraded the fuel system to a 15 gallon cell and a -8an return style fuel system

well the truck always had oil pressure issues, well it didnt have oil pressure and figured out why

so i decided to put another 5.3 in with a bigger cam and changed up my setup a little. well and we repainted it and fixed the dent and changed up the swagga

^^^^^ I think I know what happened to the cam plate in pic #4.....Thats an awful big sledge hammer ... puts a new meaning to "beat to fit; paint to match"

[jmd]

[BigdaddyDupree]

Thanks everyone and as far as next mods I wanna just race it for a while and enjoy it while I gather up some parts for a real mota. Like a 408.

[bambooi]

Nice new paint job. That truck looks good

[BigdaddyDupree]

Thanks everyone. I plan to be racing this weekend

[schardbody]

7.90s you running a brake or on the foot?

just curious as this will be my next project and i'd like to get an idea of where i need to be, but it wont be a first gen or a 5.3, but it will be an S series with an LS swap... your truck looks killer...

[BigdaddyDupree]

that was on footbrake leaving off idle and was also having issues with the timing that didnt come apparent until the motor ate itself. all is fixed now and ill be testing it this weekend and hoping for a new best

[MonteC]

7.80s

[KRYPTONITE]

[clubracergt1]

[04ctd]

8.70's holding a baloney sammich!


love the bowman concessions stand!

heck yeah, that does look good. the motor fixings should give you the OOMPH to justify looking that fast!

[wade w]

Truck does look a lot better. If you dont mind me asking. Where did you get your motor mounts and headers?
