| | | | Joined: Dec 2014 Posts: 55 Wrench Fetcher | | Wrench Fetcher Joined: Dec 2014 Posts: 55 | Ive had this wild idea of building an old 60s looking gasser pickup for a shop truck .
Im kind of stuck on the 48-50 range,too many little changes starting in 51 that just don't do it for me.
Im thinking jacked up a couple inches in the back with an old set of torque thrusts all the way around and a tube axle up front jacked up 3-4" in the air.
For motivation a 482" 409 with a set of hilbornes would be tits,but a 415" sbc done up to look like an old 301 with hilbornes on top would also be cool set back about 10" in the frame.
Anyway all the old gassers I tend to see are either willys or chopped up 55 chevies!
Anybody got any decent pictures of a good looking gasser pickup?

I know that for sure now, Tim, since this post has been moved to the hi-po forum.

I ran a 415" sbc with .510 lift cam and a big fat 800ish cfm quadrajet on it to screw with peoples heads when they looked under the hood!  That old pig would light those duals up at 35-40 and try and twist the truck in half at the same time,it was a riding pulling up to kids in cars at stoplights and seeing the look on their faces! After the 1st 100' most of them wanted nothing to do with it and started looking for a different street to get off on.  Ive still got that motor someplace in a corner.

I also managed to get the short block for c60 built,my 427 idea grew by a few extra inches to a 468 since the 396/427 crank I had wasn't as nice as I thought it was.  | | | | | Joined: May 2012 Posts: 574 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: May 2012 Posts: 574 | sounds like your starting to build a frankenstein monster
