Thanks! Yes I had it Rhinoed in early October. I debated about whether to paint or line it, I am very happy with the outcome.
Thanks for your response man! But, the thing is, I don’t have screw in studs, I just have old school press-in that stock SBCs have. This looks like it’s a thread repair kit? Or is it something for cutting in NEW threads? Either way that’s pretty cool.
https://goodson.com/products/s-450-rocker-arm-stud-conversion-kit Yeah they are a steel sleeve but you just need to get some arp studs and something like this
cost/labor hows that work out compared to a reputable builder like Redhead? Nothing meant quality wise. Getting at, should this be something everyone should start doing themselves with/without a spare.
I don't know. This is the first one I have done. The seal kit with bearings was 42 bucks. I've got about 3 hours into break down and cleaning. Still have to assemble. 300+295 core charge. Tax and shipping both ways. So roughly 800 if you don't have a core.
right, it aint cheap getting store bought.....hopefully it works out. Maybe others will chime in as well. Be nice for another STICKY. Might be one already lol.
I can't wait to see this truck when the paint is done. Looking good. The green is an excellent one. Those years were good looking paint.After doing some items on the honey do list I was able to get the truck painted.... well the base color painted. I still need to do the other color for the rockers and the cab roof. This is GM Medium Sage Green from 2003 Avalanches and other vehicles. The roof and rockers are going with GM Covert Tan that was used in 1972 on muscle cars and such.
with the silver and chrome I think it should be a good looking truck. When deciding colors i kind of ran through all my vehicles in my past I have never had a green truck... finding a green that I liked was challenging

I agree with @JamesSam that the color is killer. I love a nice green.After doing some items on the honey do list I was able to get the truck painted.... well the base color painted.

I did mine years ago... Still going strong. Rebuilt the power booster and several other items on the old girl with the idea of saving a little money and learning how the different systems on the truck work.
