427 Tall Deck
Hey thanks for the great advice. That's exactly what I was looking for. I passed on the tall deck block for $250 and now found two standard deck for $325 each. I made a thread about it because I have some questions on those. One of the blocks has 4 bolts in the 3 center caps and only 2 bolts on...- deve05

Help with 454 decision, picking up today.
In my search for a big block to build one piece at a time I had found a 427 tall deck, took some advice and passed up on it and now I found this guy selling two 454 bare standard deck blocks for 325 each. One is a 445 casting number, the other one is a 959. I have pictures of both blocks and I...- deve05

427 Tall Deck
Do they not make aftermarket parts for them? I definitely wouldn't want to get into something where everything will have to be custom. Sent from my moto g(6) plus using Tapatalk- deve05

Finally pulled the trigger. My C10 Project
Nah I've got two other cars for work. What scared me off for a bit was the body shop guy quoted me 12k to fix my cab and paint the truck..... And that was with me stripping the whole thing down to just the body for them. Yet I go on LMC truck and all the cab repair panels combined don't even...- deve05

427 Tall Deck
So since I've recently decided to keep going with my C10 rather than get rid of it. I started looking for a big block to put on a stand and build little by little. My goal would be a street able 650-750 ish... I found a guy selling a bare 427 tall deck with 4 bolt mains for $250, I'm planning...- deve05

Finally pulled the trigger. My C10 Project
Hey sorry, for the late response. School has me slammed, I work full time and also take six classes. Haven't gotten very far with the build due to this but I'm picking it back up tomorrow, and I'm gonna have a full three months of summer to work on it. I made a seperate post about an estimate I...- deve05

I'll admit to that... Right now I wish I had at least 1/3 the knowledge of some of the old farts here... Maybe then I wouldn't have to change trucks! :/ Sent from my Moto Z (2) using Tapatalk- deve05

Is the "body shop" tryna rob me
You what's nice about being young? You can run. Something all of you old folks probably only do in black and white pictures! Lmao So how do you plan to put me over some other old dudes knees(which I wouldn't btw, they might be fragile) to give me a "tan"? Lol Sent from my Moto Z (2) using Tapatalk- deve05

Is the "body shop" tryna rob me
Its funny because I actually do not speak in that manner and actually quite abhor it. My cousin is 3 years younger than I am and he started using that "bruh" word. I especially hated it when he said it to me because I felt like he was calling me "bra". I told him I wasn't a damn victoria secret...- deve05

Yeah I'd be more inclined to selling it and buying a truck that's fine in the body area and needs just the mechanical. Sent from my Moto Z (2) using Tapatalk- deve05

Is the "body shop" tryna rob me
I appreciate the encouragement. But I've learned the hard way that it's important to recognize when I'm out of my depth. I'd hate to leave the truck just sitting in my garage in pieces for years on end. Specially since it was a running truck when I started taking it apart. I just hadn't realized...- deve05

Thanks for the advice, and honestly I'd tackle it no problem. But like I said I'm a college student and also work 40+hours a week. The time I have at my disposal doesn't let me do that. It would take me years to get all the work done. Maybe in 4 years when I'm done with school I will have the...- deve05
