Default Two Tone Turbocharged Chevy Oldie

Here are some pictures of a little build we have going on. 408 with ET heads and single 88. She has been under the knife for a little bit but hopefully she will be up and running soon. Hoping to get something close to 900hp out of it and looking for some deep 10's.

I will have to say that your truck in freakin bad ***.....

I was talking to a couple friends just last night about wanting to build a 68 Chevrolet truck. Now that I have my Mustang drivable I'm getting kind of bored.

My next project will be either a C-10, 2nd gen Camaro or a 55 Chevrolet. I have had the itch for a '55 post for the past couple months. Hell, I even thought about selling the Mustang...lol

Looks great!

I'd also like to suggest "BIGGER" brakes in the front.

Beautiful. Surprised you don't have some kind of power assist on the brakes. I used to use both feet on my dad's '71 C10 with manual brakes.

Question, how are you going to get any traction with those small tires out back?
