[hotrod preacher]

...had a compliment pm'ed to me asking if i had any more pics of the truck in my avatar photo....so here are some from the build process.....
the first documentation is from pre-digital days, so the first 5-yrs aren't included!....hope i'm not wasting anyones space

 

[hotrod preacher]

a few more then i'll quit..

some more pics of the "finished(?)" truck--it still needs new glass, exterior door handles, and some other stuff, but i've got it on the road so its a major accomplishment for me....

last couple of pics are w/sideboards made for the parade and "advertised" our church--which is why the pic was took in front of our church-building....

Snazzy. What you runnin' for a motor?

its the (yawn here) usual 350 chevy...bored .040 over, 280 comp cam,--after putting the truck on the roadi got a chance at a set of better heads-[dr 1969 double-hump heads(w/acc. holes) 202 int./160exh stainless valves "Z28" springs, an old torker intake with oil fill tube and a pcv valve installed in rear, because of the 283 script valve covers have no holes in them ....its all painted chevy orange including the intake, and topped with a holly 750 vac-sec and a modified chevy truck breather.....as of now, running old 68 chevy truck ram horn manifolds, 2 1/4" exhaust and 18" cherry bombs

...the "theme" was inspired by an old 47 ford my dad put a 57 chevy 283 power-pac motor in way back in 1965.....

old-school "shop truck".....i think we pulled it off pretty well

Very nice truck Preacher !! When I was 16 I bought a set of those double hump heads without the bolt holes for a Nova. It was at that point I had to learn the art of making my own car parts
