Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
 

I know, it's confusing to me too.:lol: Thank you for keeping up with thread even after the avatar change. My phone camera would not get all the colors that the paint changes but the camera does better. Still got to get the neon green and purple, when I figure out what settings to use on the new camera.

Thanks 67, you are on top of things! I need to post some tech stuff like tire sizes again cause the first time I did I posted the wrong tire size. duh. I'll get some pics of tire clearance and stuff like that.

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
 

That is a pair of nice rides there, but do they both run yet? hehe, sorry. I know not much longer till it is running and driving!!!!

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
 

Cool. Checkin out!

Yep, they both run but the red one drives! My truck is still lacking key components such as radiator, brake booster, interior, and a couple of other things. If you want to come and help me this weekend you are more than welcome too!!!

Thanks Bro! If you're ever in town just let me know, be great to have a visitor. Wish I could cruise around the country and see some other members rides too!

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
 

wow this truck is perfection, great job you should be proud , hey..what are the rear chevrolet emblems from?

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
 

well i dont want o steal his thunder but they are from a 55 chevy bomb (bel air) they look like they were made for it though

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
 

Thank you Bugeye! I am really proud to have been given the opportunity to build one of the icon trucks of America!!! They are 55 Chevy Bel Air emblems. They are the only year emblems that had the straight "C" in the script lettering that matches the old style valve covers like mine. Any other year emblems had a rounded "C". I got mine from a local shop that orders them through Danchuk.

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
 

Is it DONE YET!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! playing the waiting game up here, Sorry I could not make it down the other weekend, wife had me doing chores, otherwise I would have been there. hehe.

Dude...that sounds great! This weekend is supposed to be kinda crappy weather but next weekend the weather may cooperate. Let's get this together, meet at the shop and drive to the show from there. It's close. You can see it before it hits the road.:metal:

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
 

Here's a pic of the rear view mirror bracket that took 5 hours of my life to sand and buff to chrome so I had to get a pic in my thread. But it was worth it since it is a 1967 Custom optional peice.

I got a little something to install today, the fit was right, so was the price so one step closer to a running truck!

Also got my power steering pump in permanently along with the hoses, it wasn't fun but came out nicely. I was able to get the headlights working and the flashers, but I need to get another wiring harness for the rear cause it has been cut on pretty bad.

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
 

Oh yeah, here is one of the rear 22X10 with 30 series tires tucked in the rear wheel well with a 70 rearend and 4.5 inch backspacing. It's close! About an inch on either side when the bags are airred out. And part of my fat head got in there too. :lol:

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
 

very nice! Love the bracket and radiator!

I understand about the polishing...spent about 4 or 5 hours myself on the shift boot ring for my blazer....a lot of work but the little details make all the difference in the end!

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
 

Very nice! I love that mirror bracket! I couldn't help but notice how slick your paint is inside the cab. The radiator is too cool too. Where did you score that? thanks for sharing new pics

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
 

I appreciate that VA, you know the process!

Thanks Bro! Lots of wet sanding and buffing and polishing! Advance Radiator just 4 miles away from my build, new and cheap! Need to get some more pics up......I'm a SLACKER!!!

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
 

So purty! :metal:

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
 

awesome looking radiator. can you give me some info, make and part number? thanks and as always looking great!

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
 

Dude. Where ya been hiding?? Thanks!

Thanks! Yep, it's got a good fit too. I will get the info for ya, it may be Monday though cause it's at the shop.

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
 

Thanks Heath!

Daannggg. It does look like a 1 or 2 inch chop top, but it's factory! Maybe the color or somethin makes it look that way??? Or maybe because it's just sittin lower than my nephew's truck........dunno.

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
 

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
 

I have to throw one out there for Ronnie. Made me jealous. We have to take it to get the exhaust put on it Tuesday, but it sounds sweet! He moved his Cutlass to the next stage.....check it out!

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
 

wheres the brake stand?

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
 

Thanks Devil Dog!! Hope you are healing well. Maybe some forum members nearby can give you a hand up there.....I would if I were closer!

Brake stand? Do ya mean the caliper and dust cover? I just have some old rotors on it now to roll it around because I am going with slotted rotors. The calipers are ready and the covers. All of it should be on there in a little while just waiting for the $$!!!!:lol:

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
 

I think he means the burnout. ;) Stand on the brakes and press the gas.

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
 

Thanks for clarifying! And I suppose he is talkin about the Cutlass. Wellll it's a four speed so it would be "pop the clutch" :lol: The motor isn't broken in good on his car or my truck yet, sooooo, no power brakin yet!!
