Gearhead of the Week 52
Joe had the motor in the truck gone through and added a milder Comp Cam to the Chevy 454. It has an 11:1 compression ratio with a Holley 770 Carb and an MSD Ignition. The valve covers and breather cover were customized using the glove box emblems from a C10 to add some detail and are highlighted by a custom chrome molding that follows the center line on the hood. The motor sits on Brother's Big Block Motor Mounts and has a billet full serpentine belt kit. The transmission is a 350 Turbo with a 2800 stall and B&M shift kit. The rearend is a 12 bolt with 3.73 gears from Summit Racing. The truck rolls on Billet Specialties 20- and 22-inch rims cut specially to fit the truck, and they are wrapped in low profile BFG tires.

Joe - I first bought a universal set from Brother's - the glass was geat but the channles was a little loose and had some movement. Ball's Customs (supplies Brother's) is the way to go. Here is there website ballsrodandkustom.com - thanks for the kind comments. I didn't do the work - Goolsbys Customs are very creative and we worked our ideas out together!

Hey Joe great truck, I wanted to pick your brain about the one piece glass power windows, is it a kit or did you build it from scratch. Any information will be very helpful. Thanks

Todd - The are stainless by Morgan Performance - they run all the way to the back, around the fuel cell to the custom tip where the tag should go. Goolsby's flipped the bumper to allow for the tip at the botttom of the bumper. I will post a couple of pics.
