Tube Chassis Chevy Truck
Guys I just realized that I haven't post this build on the site. I have been posting it on others. So there will a few big threads back to back
Guys sorry that I have not posted anything. I was in Vegas last weekend at Mopars at the strip. A bunch of mopars the show was great. Anyway when I got home look at what was waiting for me.
The Caprice in the back round is my 4 door hardtop. I plan on putting an LS Engine in it with a Pro Charger. I want to build a nice driver out of it.
I need to make my own headers for the truck. They look pretty crazy.
I'm going to run 2.5 exhaust on the truck. I want to get it done before I put the body on. This way all I have to do is cut the floor up.
I'm going to run those Hushpower mufflers I heard that they were pretty good.

Congrats on the new shop.
Glad to see things are going well for you.David Sloan
If you’re suggesting sending men with weapons of war to take my weapons of war,then I’m fairly certain that’s what’s called an act of war… and the definition of tyranny.which coincidentally is the reason for the second amendment to begin with!

looks pretty sweet.
I didn't see any caprice in the background of any of those pics. what year is the caprice. I've always loved the big cars for some reason. I have a 70 impala 4drht that I want to do a budget single turbo 5.3 in the worst way.72 Nova SS, on the back burner for now.
current cruiser: "The green machine"
'70 Impala 4drht, 26K original miles, 2" drop springs and large swaybars, drives pretty good for a land yahct
in the middle of an ls1 swap, but thinking about changing directions to a duramax diesel swap.
