    69 Duramax C-10 Is Finally Rolling

    These are mine and my Grandson's Duramaxes. His is an 03 Chevy with a built engine and trans, and my 69 C-10 with an LGH and built trans. The red 07 I bought new and has a built trans and a few mods and has 53000 miles on it. The white one is an 06 that my Grandson and I built from a wreck and...

    Anyone ever drag raced with an older saginaw 4 speed transmission?

    I vote for having the Muncie gone through and you will get to make some passes and will last a long time on the street. I have a 21 in a 70 Nova SS that my oldest brother bought new and stood up to three pretty rough teenage brothers, several passes at the dragstrip behind a decent 350 with a...

    Mike L has passed away.......

    Must have been a nice guy, and he seemed to help a lot of guys out over the years. I'll pray for his family, and I'm in on a memorial fund or whatever.

    Classic Prices-WTH???

    I just bought an 06 loaded that has been h it hard on the second door on the driver's side. I gave 10500.00 for it with a used door and bedside and cab section to repair the cab in the right color included. I am no body and paint man, so I found a 500.00 cab in the same color and started...

    69 Duramax C-10 Is Finally Rolling

    Of course I was wanting to get it dialed in to run a little at Truck Wars, but that has been sidelined. I'll regroup and try to be ready by next Spring maybe.

    69 Duramax C-10 Is Finally Rolling

    I've known Matt a pretty good while, and his family longer. He built the intercooler, rollcage, turbo piping, and stainless exhaust and did an excellent job. I wasn't aware of his frame and suspension abilities until a few years back. Unfortunately this has been a near eight year project. The...

    69 Duramax C-10 Is Finally Rolling

    The more I think about it, when I was standing on the brakes so hard trying to build boost, that may be when the failure started because it pulled to the right out of the hole. Just some thin pipe for the a arms is unacceptable. I paid for a custom built heavy duty front end that would hold up...

    69 Duramax C-10 Is Finally Rolling

    Well, I enjoyed a complete crap show. I made three passes and it completely falls on its nose out of the hole, but pulls hard after a third of the track is already covered. The third pass I tried to get more boost and it pushed through the brakes, it pulled hard to the right and I had to drive...

    69 Duramax C-10 Is Finally Rolling

    It's been a while since I've been on this thread, but I've had a few health problems during and after the stupid Chinese manufactured Covid to deal with. I had to rework the front suspension under my truck because it ripped the coilover mounts loose because the shocks were bottoming out and it...

    69 Duramax C-10 Is Finally Rolling

    A lot of folks from the bigger northern cities have moved down here and the houses that people have for sale aren't on the market very long and they get whatever they ask for them. Some of those folks talk to others in a tone and with language that sometimes don't work out well for them. It...

    10 seconds, stock rods, full weight, crew cab, street truck

    I want a ride in something with big numbers like that. I did get to see Landon beat on his at Truck Wars last Fall. It's always good to spend time with his crew.

    69 Duramax C-10 Is Finally Rolling

    Chris, Landon told me it was a nasty ride. I've always loved that truck, even when it was apart, that just gave me a chance to look it over real good. When it gets back this way, I need a good, neck-snapping ride. If you get a chance, send me a few pics so I can show my grandson what a real...

    You're welcome here anytime you're around. I asked Landon if you were getting along ok. I would love to have your powerplant under the hood of my old truck.

    69 Duramax C-10 Is Finally Rolling

    It is an LGH out of an ambulance with some Wagler head work to take LBZ injectors and has an LBZ ecm controlling it. Thanks to everybody and I appreciate this forum for putting up with dummies like me asking stupid questions to try to learn more about these amazing Duramaxes. The younger guys...
