I know it doesn't look like much, but she is pretty to me
The receiver someone put on this truck won't work now, she sits too low

(No engine in the truck either yet, so front will sit a bit lower than shown).

I like it! Whats next?

After I changed the thermostat yesterday the truck pushed to about 220. I thought either the fan clutch or water pump was going bad. Took the fan off a ‘77 and that didn’t help any. I’ll install the water pump tomorrow after it gets here and go from there.

Never seen a fan like that one in the 2nd pic.

What is that off of?


Edit, I remember from another thread, inline 6.

 

[82sbshortbed]

I wouldn't put that on my truck. I'd replace the fan clutch and call it good. But, that's me.

Pulled out the Quadrajet and spacer today to try and give this procrastinator some motivation to do the swap.

Interior, then engine! Then setting angle on rear end.

Fired her up so she could jump the old lady.

I guess Goldie is a kinky old gal ...




5 year old battery in the wifes truck gave up the ghost at the gas station.

First kill for Goldie!



Pyrrhic victory, though, cause guess who went home, and who went to Wally World to buy a new battery?

Just paid that card off today, too...



And, who got to install it by trouble light since said wifey did not want to drive the Cobalt in case she needed to go somewhere tomorrow?

Yeah.

I wouldn't put that old fan in. Fix what you have, your blade angles & everything are different on both, IMO you are taking a few steps back here. That fan resembles what is on my Flathead's, which did not require the same as what your truck requires to help keep it cool.

What swap are you doing?

(Here goes my opinion again )....those quadrajets are a very badass carb when tuned up properly, but then again I am bias (well I am now, I used to hate them)!!! I had a Holley 6-fiddy on my 455 Rocket Olds, and it did not perform close to that of my re-built quadrajet I had on my Olds 350 Rocket.

My dad knows those carbs inside & out (I still don't get it!!) and he did a full rebuild on the carb for my 350 Rocket that I built up (had that engine in my '80 Olds 2-door Delta 88 Brougham) and holy balls, when he was done it would literally make that tank car rocket! Nothing better than hearing a massive vacuum under the hood with all 4-barrels open singing her American glory and being pressed back into the seat....so once again, he had proven me wrong when I told him quadrajets sucked....

I plan to build a quadrajet (with my dad's assistance, again) for the 455 going in the 76 square, if it performs anything like my 350 did this will be fun as hell!!

Threw on a 275/60/15 on the rear to see if I liked that on an 8” rim vs a 295 on a 10. The x10s are almost too deep, the center cap disappears from certain angles, not sure why that’s always bugged me. Think I’m gonna have our local guy widen mine to a 9 in the back and run a 295/50

How much do you have your truck lowered? I think it looks good!
