MR HYDE IS COMING TO LIFE

Hi All,
I posted a little in my thread of Dr Jkel but thought I would share with the rest as most probably will not view that thread and maybe will view this one.

In the pictures that follow you will see what brought me to the Bow Tie Craze some 36 years ago.
I was 6 years old, it was a 1963 Chevy C-10 Stepside that my Uncle had and had gotten from his father in 1965.( His father purchased it new). It had a 327 cu in motor, 3 speed on the column and wore out glass pack mufflers. We were on a wide open country road and he stomped it, all I saw was the needle hit 100 MPH, heard the glass packs singing and I was all in hook line and sinker.
He had changed the cam in the truck years earlier to a 3/4 Race cam, whatever that meant, and it sounded mean. From that day on my lifes ambition was to own that truck.
Fast forward '' A FEW " years and I finally talked him out of the truck, actually I begged like a school girl, and he gave it to me.

It has been a labor of love, heartache, pain, tears, threats, blood you name it and it is almost complete. I have been assured, after some powerful persuation if you get my drift, that it will me done no later than Feb 28, 2011.

Here are a few pics I took last night when I went to See Mr Hyde. My little boys gave it that name because my car is name Dr Jkel.
Enjoy, here are just a few. I will update these weekly when I take more.

Thanks for looking,

John

Thanks, There is alot of little details that really pictures do not do justice. Once it gets completed I will try to take some detailed pictures of all the little areas that some who do not know or would notice unless you know about old Chevy Trucks.

Chase - I too really love these trucks especially this one. I would tell you after going through this to find one in a condition you could live with. Unless you know, really know, a reputable and I mean reputable, shop
to do a project like this frame off.

The pictures do not really indicate what is left to be done. The rear trailing arms have to be boxed and then painted along with the rear end.

The truck has to be wired, plumbed and the bed buffed and installed.

The motor while installed has to be wired and all the accessories have to be basically hooked up with hoses, fluids added etc......

The interior while done still needs to be installed, then it needs a final overall buffing and clean-up.

Thanks Ron. It is hard to see in the lighting but it does have ghost flames on the front.



Some particulars about the truck.

Motor is a GM crate motor ZZ383/425 stroker.
Street & Performance Ram Jet fuel injection
Ford 9" rear 31 spline axles with 3.55 gears and rear discs brakes.
Front had 2" dropped spindals with disc brakes.
Vintage Air A/C
Front and Rear coil overs.

Just to name a few.

There are alot of cosmetic changes that have been done but you really can't tell, alot of seems were welded and smoothed, custom made center console, shaved bumpers etc... should be real nice when done.
