Haven't had it wrapped for a couple of days but I don't get the stitches out until next Tuesday. The stitch tails feel like thumb whiskers

Managed to find used spacers, brake mounting plates, calipers, and parking brakes for a good deal on another forum. Everything fits good, I need to get going on cutting the old mounts off and clean up the rust. View attachment 256904 View attachment 256905 View attachment 256906 View attachment 256907

Not my truck so I don't care

Just kidding, although I'm really sick of it taking up half my garage. The motor was supposed to be done months ago and the shop is still dicking around with the 408 for that Denali and the 370 for my Silverado. They were supposed to knock the 408 out quick and not rush on my 370 but not I think my motor is further along which is useless because I don't even want to pick it up until I have this thing out and have space again.

After much consideration I found a cam for this truck and it came in today with my name etched on it.

Its specced for the blower in mind and should pull nicely to a little over 6k.

Also the rear end is getting some progress finally, the last bracket for the ladder bar should be in this week then truss design time. Yes those are my old bedsheets stuffed in the diff housing.

I don't know much about it that's not my shop unfortunately. I do know its tubbed for a fat tire and does some illegal street racing down in the hood. I want to say it's a big CI SBC with a couple of kits of NOS but I really don't remember it's been there for a few months and there's always someone messing with it when I stop by. The body is super clean and he's running some Jegs brand knock off Weld looking wheels that are dirt cheap and look fantastic! https://www.jegs.com/c/Street-Wheels_JEGS/203213/10002/-1

If I ever get a drag pack for something it will probably be a set of those knock offs I was convinced they were welds or race stars.
