Your Facebook link isn't working.
From what you've posted, this truck has
a 472 [Caddy] engine in it backed by
a turbo-hydro 400 tranny?

you may try typing complete, comprehensible sentences. you would probably get better (more) replies if we could understand what you are trying to say.

I do not read "text", sorry. Write something in English, in a sentence WITH punctuation and at least an attempt at spelling, and we'll talk.

People should be less judgmental of ones ability to write or their comprehension of the English language. Weather it be age, education or native language shouldn’t matter. Why this person writes the way they do isn’t important as the questions they ask.

Now I have always been a fan of lime green and black, I have looked at the Facebook pictures but can not from this computer (work) so I can’t comment on the different schemes. The Sweptline lends it self to top/bottom split using the sweptline as the dividing line. One way I see the black and lime on this scheme is the have the black on the top with the lime only below the sweptline. Another idea that might work is to take the same scheme and paint the roof (in the normal two tone manner) the same color as the lower body, with this scheme I might consider the idea of switching the colors having a black roof, lime upper body back to black on the lower body.

Why is asking for a legible and coherent post somehow "not tolerant" or "judgmental"???? Is that really too much to ask? The way he posts is as if he is posting a text message. That's great is you are texting...far different if you want someone to actually read something that is posted on a forum.

Perhaps having some a higher expectation of people is bad, then, right?

To the OP - the Caddy engine in the truck is definitely different. They make a great hot rod engine, but go back to a Mopar eng/trans, in my opinion.

I can not comment on the nature of this gibberish other than to say it isn’t “text”. The quality of his post will only hurt him in getting responses. I do not feel it is a deliberate effort.

Here is a 69 I found early in my search, I ruled it out soon as I saw the Oldsmobile engine.

Using a medium such as a message board, by design, requires that you can at least convey the point you are trying to present. If what is written is nonsensical or unintelligible to the point where it cannot be understood by those reading it, the person who composed it has failed to communicate effectively. If the author is looking for input from others then others must be able to understand it.

Switching the colors does have more of an effect than you might think but I don't have all the details of how, or what, the effect is. Having a lighter color on the top gives a different effect than having the darker color on top even if you use the same colors.

I like the idea of the lighter color above the line and darker color below. I might be doing that myself with a 3rd color on the roof and a line separating the other 2 colors. It depends on how difficult it will be to mask and paint.

that reminds me that when first got truck there was old 455 sitting in back froze he wanted me fix up put in truck but then sold me caddy
since truck alrdy set up i went with it as i didn't want move motor mounts get new cross frame and what other else would need to be change for mopar motor on top cost of finding a motor and tranny
