Bull's 69 C-10 Build

[Dave the Bartender]

Shhhh,
I heard a little whisper from MS. Over 550 h.p. on the warm up pull !

Should have the official "press release" by this afternoon.

Your inside source DTB

p.s. hell of a first attemp at hot roddin . . . welder dude.

[bull the rogue welder]

we did 2 pulls while i was there 563hp/576ft.lbs. torque. thats with the 3 1/2" upper blower pulley, 5psi boost, @5700rpms. rev limiter at 6600rpms.
once we change the blower pulley to the 2 1/2" overdrive one we might see 9psi boost if we dont run out of blower. so 600hp might be possible. still tweekin it. i have 3 videos of todays action up on youtube, i think DTB is going to post the links or just search BULL'S DYNO DAY. i think you can find them there

Holy Big Block Batman !
Sounds great, numbers seem to be good for the street, still wonder why you are looking at 9 pounds of boost and 600 h.p. ? Seems like 550 and 5 pounds of boost is prefect for a SICK street machine, especially a pick-up . . . without a roll cage ! Ya know anything faster than 12.0 will get ya booted from the track. Hmmm, I suspect ya don't care.

Still Bull, your a sick man. So I imagine the quest for 600 hp probably keeps you up at night Since I might be driving this thing, I will start looking on-line for some pills, "That will MAKE MY BALLS BIGGER !" cause DTB will need to grow some bigger ones to pilot this Big Dog!

Not use to being the lead Dog DTB

p.s. Bull have you been hangin around CSTMWGN & Boob?

[bull the rogue welder]

not really pushing for 9psi and 600hp but the setup should be producing that . the blower setup should be giving me 7-9 lbs. of boost and we found out why it wasnt this morning.
HOUSTON WE HAVE A PROBLEM!.... seems the gasket has split and is being pushed out from between where the snout bolts to the body of the blower, nice puddle of blower lube laying in the intake. we are finished with dyno anyway ,so its being broke down and the blower is headed back to summit. minor glitch


P.S.oh and DTB you'll have your own set of keys for this E-TICKET RIDE! this isnt going to be just a "road to nowhere" truck

[Dave the Bartender]

Thanks Bull
Hummm, "Road to Nowhere" A four mile paved straight-a-way thru the forest, dead ending at the river. Glad they could never find the funding to build the bridge. We sure have done some high speed testing at the Sopchoppy City Limits ! Not everyone has there own Maxton.

The truck will get it's chance to burry the speedo that's for sure, but I am glad your building something we can jump in and go visit Cobra . . . then again, maybe next year an overdrive trans might be on your Christmas list?

Sorry about the huffer. Glad it wasn't you who blew a gasket. For the money you spent . . . never mind, it's all part of Hot Roddin !

Been to Houston DTB

come on down. there's some fresh concrete that needs some artwork.

Update here - man this puppy is looking SWEET !!

[Dave the Bartender]

What a great weekend in Sopchoppy, veteran power tourers were all present as we fabed motor mounts, and tweaked driveline angles. This project is coming along nicely, but not so much, my 12 step program. We drank enough to float a small shrimp boat, but HEY, breakfast is the most important meal of the day, right ?

Our liquid induced creativity served us well, as we met all our mechanical goals as we polished off every 12 ounce tool in the "toolbox" fridge !

Be safe y'all on the way back to Mississippi, Wisconsin, and Railroad Ave. But most of all . . .
Stay Thristy my Friends,

the pickled DTB

[bull the rogue welder]

no drinkin problem with me....hell i couldnt even FIND the fridge!!!! DTB has the fridge so tricked out like a CRAFTSMAN piggy back tool chest i thought the fridge was outside where it normally WAS!
we did manage to cram a lil backwoods pizza in! i appreciated all the motor mount help i was getting pretty frustrated on my own and the build was coming to a screetchin halt because of them.



i stayed thirsty my friend!

Is it Snap-On or is it Budweiser ? The latest in Florida garage art - Andy Warhol would be proud !

[Dave the Bartender]

Is it Snap-On or is it Budweiser ? Well, I can tell you after this weekend, IT IS EMPTY !

"Runnin on Empty" DTB

p.s. That's why they make more . . . everyday!
