love the lights! i cant wait til mine is running and driving i will then start getting all my chrome new!

Re: 68 C 10 stepside "My American Bulldog"
 

Looks like some good finds. Hate I missed it, but would have been a long drive for me with bad weather. Wonder what tomorrow would be like? Usually sunday is kind of slow and with this bad weather some might have left early.

Re: 68 C 10 stepside "My American Bulldog"
 

I like the lights as well, You can just get one piece at a time.


I love the stuff I got, But some venders were gone. Or had there goods covered.
Tomorrow is supposed to be a better day.(weather wise)

Re: 68 C 10 stepside "My American Bulldog"
 

Nice scores!!!

Re: 68 C 10 stepside "My American Bulldog"
 

Well, It plays into the final outcome.

I was happy with what I got, But was surprised with some of
the things I couldn't find. Thank goodness for the internet.

i am guessing no bow tie in the grille and the little inserts that are rivited in the grille and hen that means no parking lights in the grille hence them being in the headlights.....

Re: 68 C 10 stepside "My American Bulldog"
 

I photoshopped and antiqued this picture to get the look I'm going for.
I'm still not 100% on a color, But this is my latest thoughts

Re: 68 C 10 stepside "My American Bulldog"
 

don't so it! it's awful! and most of all I can't afford to make mine that nice!:lol:

Re: 68 C 10 stepside "My American Bulldog"
 

Don't worry, I'm using Corvette ralley rims, with baby moon centers for now.;)

Re: 68 C 10 stepside "My American Bulldog"
 

that's nicer for sure, one day I want a 67 with the chrome 20in corvette rallies, all original trim, big block, small window, in a super high gloss black, one can dream;)

Re: 68 C 10 stepside "My American Bulldog"
 

Tonight, I finished my tranny.
I started out with new clutches, Steels,
Seals, And gaskets. :)

Then I added a shift kit, Modified the baseplate,
Reworked the vales, New sprigs, And modified the
torque converter plate.;)

Gave it a fresh coat of paint, And added some billet goodies.:D

It was a long day!:rolleyes:

Re: 68 C 10 stepside "My American Bulldog"
 

very nice! That looks great and should perform even better! Where did you get the pan and flywheel cover from? Skip white or somewhere else?

Re: 68 C 10 stepside "My American Bulldog"
 

looks great!!!

Re: 68 C 10 stepside "My American Bulldog"
 

Thanks, It took a while. I got the billets goodies
from a speed shop out of Columbus GA.
He has an Ebay site as well. (abad71camaro)

Thanks Rick, I think it took as long to clean the pig,
As it took to rebuild it.

Re: 68 C 10 stepside "My American Bulldog"
 

Wow!!!!! That's an awesome build. We have alot of the same taste!!! I have the same clear distributor cap!!!!!!! I will post pictures when this snow clears!!!! That truck is going to look great!!!!!! What's your estimated finish date?

Re: 68 C 10 stepside "My American Bulldog"
 

Doing great job spike. Love the lil wagon.

On a side note, get those axles in the mail yet?

Re: 68 C 10 stepside "My American Bulldog"
 

I'm glad you are enjoying it. I hate to set a date,
But it would be nice to be driving it this summer.

I couldn't tell you how many nice comments I got on the
wagon at the swap meet. And people asking to take a picture of it.

The axles are a bad subject, :(
New ETA 3/6/11. I'm looking for another source. If I trusted the local
machine shops, I just have them redo mine. But that's out of the question.
another option, Is to get a whole rearend out of a full sized 70's car. And
put my saddles on it. But we'll see.

Re: 68 C 10 stepside "My American Bulldog"
 

Great Build. I like your gas tank install and transmission. Colors are great.

Re: 68 C 10 stepside "My American Bulldog"
 

Thanks, I got the gas tank idea from mrhino's silverdollar build. A lot of good
ideas on there.

Re: 68 C 10 stepside "My American Bulldog"
 

Yesterday, I got my my engine and tranny put back together,
And bolted into the frame. For good I hope. :lol:
Now I need to run the fuel lines, And brake lines.
I may also rebuild the starter today.

nice...dig the breather

Re: 68 C 10 stepside "My American Bulldog"
 

Yeah! I love that 50's style Batwing.
It holds a 14"x4" K&N nicely.
It shouldn't have any breathing problems.
