Got to do a timing chain on my old truck.

Thought I'd get a thread started and share.

Peace WRAT

Its going to be a heck of a lot easier to do than a Datsun, lol. Might as well put a true double roller chain innthere, or if you feel like it, a gear drive.

Yes it is. I have not done one in a long time. Cost me 39 bucks for a double roller and gaskets. Still cheap enough, that was nice:)

I have actually bought a double roller Cloyes chain for $18 before, probably wasnt true roller though. Did its job though. Chevie V8's are so cheap and easy to work on its ridiculous.

Man, that makes me miss my old truck. I had a 71 Cheyenne with the 400 Big Block. It was a beast. Coolest thing was it ran on LPG and gas.

 

You can see it rusting down in this pic. It was a big green monster.

Had the motor out for a rebuild.

Had factory AC and was cold as hell.

 

Retirement.

The LPG tanks, one on each side.

8 400, damn thing could drink some gas.

 

I miss that old truck.

i know its not a chevy, but i miss driving my old truck. i have a 77 dodge power wagon. 360 auto full time 4 wheel drive. that thing was a beast. but the motor went south and it now sits awating a new 360 or if i can find one a 440 wiht a big block 727 setup for 4wd. either way i want my baby back on the road soon. it looks so good washed.....
