It's a four core and had it cleaned. Temps never get over 180, so maybe I can go a little longer.

Will this rig be at the cruiser roundup? Is it Ricks or did he just help build it? Very unique and stout looking rig.

Lookin' good Hoop!

 

[usmcruiser]

what carb are you running?

 

[hoop5]

Put it this way, the engine had dirt dobbers nest in the valley when we took the manifold off. It was in bad shape and the PO must have been in about the same condition. Pulled moter, tranny, X-case. New motor mounts and repositioned the motor. Went ahead and did the saginaw conversion while we had everything out. Threw thew old steering out(PO JUNK) Powder coated the valve covers, manifold, and the alt. and PS pump brackets. Also put a booster off a 78 and new MC. The rest was basically redoing crap that we found along the way and just kept going. Hopefully it will be ready to role soon. Some little stuff left to do and wire the lights and let Butch work his magic.
Rick deserves all the credit-------ecxept painting and fetching wrenches!!!!

I found an old quadrajet carb and had it rebuilt. The PO had an Edelbrock performer on a manifold set-up for the quadrajet.

No unfortunatly not.
I coach baseball for the HS and we have a tournament that weekend. Only thing sucks about coaching football and baseball is that I miss alot of the trips.

That truck is looking sick. I like the colors. I wish That mine wouldve stayed that clean after I did my restoration. I feel like redoing my truck again, even though i just finished it in august. I still got to do bodywork though. Good luck with your truck.
