Why:confused: I had one and was not impressed with it. I put 3 motors in it within 10k miles and sold it..

really? I loved mine it was the shiznit back in the 90s, it was the only one on the island and the first lowered fullsize chevy here. Ive had 3 other lowered 1500s since then but by far the 454 was by far the best one to drive.

I love my truck and it could easily be my dream truck. I don't have anything I really want but I have always loved 69 C10s short bed. My dad had a thing for them and we had several but he never kept one no short beds though. Also I really like the old 59 Chevy Apaches and for a car a 70 Chevelle.

I had the exact same car but lowered a little more and 17" Corba R's on it...it was a fun car...you can't beat the sound of an H-pipe and dual flowmaster 40's dumped before the axle...man they sound good!! Sold mine though, probably the biggest mistake I ever made...mine was cherry!!

Nice, Mine is flawless, im second owner with only 77k total on the clock.
I have quite a few bolt on's, and a 175 shot on it too. Runs very very good.

Been parked at the parents for over a year because the door opened a little too far and crinkled the front of driver door/back of driver fender and I am embarrassed to let anyone see it cause the car is so straight and clean.

If shit doesnt pick up in th next month, I may have to sell it. :(

How about a 96 WS6 T/A converted to an LS1. I love the body style but would rather have an LS1 over an LT1. Maybe even slap a turbo under the hood and make it a sleeper. Josh, WS6 Formulas are sweet!:thumb:

Syclone or Grand National would be cool.

A CTS-V. I like the the earlier models with the LS6.

And of course a RCSB Dmax, with MPI twins and a 6 spd manual, roll cage, and lowered on a fat set of tires.;)

The way I understand it is the MarkIV blocks were less reliable. Had a friend in school that blew his '91 up a few times due to a few oil pumps and maybe spun bearings (been a while to remember) Boss has a '93 with some butt ugly wheels on it but nice none the less. '90-'91 were IV and '92-'93 were V IIRC

If I was smart, I would stop dumping $h!t loads of money into trucks, and finish this!!! I sold the Dart 496ci 62-2TT motor I built for it, to buy my LBZ:rolleyes:. You can see my other 70SS on it's side in the back ground (right side first pic).

My original 454 block cracked between 2 cylinders in the block. My second motor spun a couple bearings and took out the crank. The 3rd and final motor ran good and I sold the truck before It decided not to.;)

With aluminum front end package it was an 11.00 car untuned. With tuning it was way faster and this was in 1964 guys. Probably the fastest street car of its time and them some.

I still have my first car. '70 GTO convertible, triple black. It has been restored and is pristine. I need to drive it more.

I really want a '87 Grand National. I have loved those cars since they were new. I almost made a deal on one with a bad engine a few months ago.

My problem is that I have too many projects going at once. Right now I am working on a '80 LUV. Putting in a 383/T56. Unfortunately I have been distracted by a WCC CFL chopper project.

It ever ends.
