wiring was finished mainly now and ready for the first test drive.
First test drive went okay. Was getting a knock sensor code though which I was in dis belief because I put brand new ac delco sensors in.
Fully re assembled!
Thought it was about done at This point but after about 100 miles it...
gotta recone the subs still. might be next season for that. and yeah yeah i know smart ass haha
Yeah I wont deny that at all. They say if you have a trailer, a big truck, shop, or a lift then everyone is your best friend for them.........thats why i dont have any of these and my dad is my...
Right! I couldn’t turn it down. Only thing missing from the engine was the injectors and oil cap. Found a used intake manifold and injectors for 25 bucks that worked perfect lol
Pulled the bed to install the Boyd tank. Got fuel pump/sending unit/tail light wiring tan at this time and feed/return lines ran. Got the front end reassembled and started wiring everything else. Found my old spectre intake to put on for temporary so I could get the base tune and everything...
Cleaned and painted the engine gloss black. Got it mated to the th400 then installed in the truck. Fits a lot better than the sbc 350 did that was in it stock too!
As far as the c20 goes I have been casually throwing parts in the bed and cab over the past few years. Building the Tahoe took over any chance of me working on it.
I had a good buddy pass in a car wreck 5 years ago. Talked to him a couple days before. We were close with our love for old rusty...
Well if anyone noticed me saying I stepped away from audio stuff this season this is why. After sitting for 7 years it was time to give the ol 69 some love. This build thread is meant for the Tahoe though so I wasn’t gonna blow it up with my truck lately but this is what I have been working on...
My dad is impatient…wonder where I get it from hmmm. He put these wheels on the car for now to get rid of the Porsche wheels that were on it. The reasoning behind those wheels was that the rear end needs to be narrowed still so not much tire can fit unless it’s on a very high offset wheel. The...
My dad has always wanted a nova. A friend of a friend Had this 64 in southern oregon. 70k original miles, restored, fully built sbc 400 with a b&m 144 blower and fitech efi, 9” rear end with posi, th400 trans, hydro boost rack & pinion etc etc. we made a trip down there to look at it.
Unaware...
I did find out that the Tahoe still can drive in snow safely. Even on low pro street tires. Obviously was very careful low speed but I made it around town alright plowing here and there lol
As you can see here after gluing the surrounds I clearly kept beating on my subs(still do) hah. And did...
My now favorite picture of the Tahoe from surf city
Trophies finally came from finals in Alabama. 3rd place I was okay with the guys who got first and second had a lot more powerful/bigger builds than me. I’m just glad I was able to hang somewhat haha
Steve Meade noticed my fuse block was...
Hahaha I hate when that happens.
Like you don’t already know….well I think at least….. one day they will get reconed. And yeah still chrome same with my grille I know how much you love that I haven’t paint matched them hehehe
Thanks buddy! I have stepped back from audio some this season because of reasons i will explain here soon on this. if you have me on instagram or facebook you already know though ahah.
Alright caught up to october last year now ahah. Surf City Soundoff/IASCA north american finals. A great yet not great weekend for the tahoe. Met up with the team and the DC Audio Bassburban that friday.
So the Good part of the weekend....
Saturday i was able to get into the lanes and do my...
Got my dads truck rewired headlight to tail light in September. ended up having engine issues with the 355 in the pictures unfortunately. it now is back running currently with a SBC400
Rolling shots from that night
8-7-21 I dug this out of the garage to get it over to the shop. I was rewiring my dads 69 pickup and he Yanked all the factory wiring out before i got to it after i told him not to. obviously the trucks arent that complicated but i still wanted it to be factory...
Been far too long since i have updated this thread. so here we go ill try my best to get it updated within the next couple days or so.

dont yell at me dad :bleh: lol
Thank you! I’m so happy lol I love them
I agree. As far as I know I’m one of the few Chevy suvs running these so far. Next time I do new wheels gonna have to order some custom billets cause I do not want to go away from this width and offset it’s perfect
The time has come. I finally got my wheels. 22x10 0 offset cosmis xt206r. I’m fully in love with these I can’t stress it enough this is exactly how I imagined it and then some!!
I used glens auto performance bracket kit to mount it. Super easy to do and came with everything needed
The brackets came powdercoated silver so I really don’t want to spray paint them but we will see if it starts to annoy me seeing that silver through the grille or not
Moved the ambient temp...
Trucool 40k came in last week just got it installed earlier today, we had insane heat last weekend for Oregon, it broke records and I wanted to die it was so hot. you know the usuals hahaha
