why do ya gotta bring up Wild Turkey? ooooo my, no "hunting" wild turkey for me! :)

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
 

:lol: I bagged a few of those wild turkeys last weekend! : ) Don't think the brakes are gonna be done this weekend though. I pulled the brake lines from the rear to the front and decided to reroute them on the frame and paint them black also. Once again, another set back due to details.

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
 

details, is what wins shows..... back to the wild turkey...great idea then you have some when you get to a show !!LOL

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
 

LOL, I was starting to wind down then.....

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
 

hehe......antifreeze.....for me!!!:lol:

Heath, go to bed and stop playin with your trucks!!!

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
 

Lookin really sweeeet!! :metal:

I hadnt been on here in a while when school started cuz that kinda got in the way of my build but I got back into it and I'm making some more progress.

Do you think you'll be able to make it out to nifty fiftees before it stops for this year? you're soooooo close! Regardless, I still need to come by and take look sometime once life calms down a little.

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
 

I am soo close......but it is going to be at the last one for sure, finished or not. It will have no interior but will be driveable. Really hope you are able to make it to that one!!! PM me where ya live cause I am spring too!

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
 

Got all of the brake lines ran to front and back and the rotor and caliper done on the driver side, just waiting for the auto parts place to get the CORRECT hose for the passenger side then I'll have brakes soon!!!

Nice work! Looking great!!!

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
 

Thanks VA!

For all of you who are wanting to see how a 88-91 lowback bucket looks in our trucks, and how much room you have to the steering wheel also. Lots of room everywhere. Still have room for the blazer console I will be running.

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
 

Nice! I forgot if you mentioned it, but what are your plans for the seats?

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
 

I am doing the whole interior in a light tan ultra leather. Steering wheel is the wrap kind so it will match everything too. The seats are going to be built up a little on the sides for a more snug fit.

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
 

That'll look sweet! Can't wait to see it all come together.

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
 

:clap: Chingon bro!.....Keep the pics coming!

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
 

Dude, if I could get this brake issue figured out I could post a maiden voyage video. I can't wait for this thing to be at least driveable.

Just tryin to keep up with you! Here are some more from today, went crazy with the Krylon. I painted the dash pad and door panels just to see kinda what it'll look like when the ultra leather goes on. Krylon Kustom:ito:.

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
 

nice work bro!

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
 

Awesome Job!!! This gives me motivation, I cant wait to see it out at Niftee 50's meet. Let us know when you make it out there.

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
 

Thanks Bro!! Keep it going, it'll get done one day. I am taking it to the last or the next to last Niftee 50ees. I would like to have some forum members swing by and check it out! I will let ya'll know what weekend for sure, but I gotta have brakes before I take it.

Thanks Heath!

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
 

Cool! Looks like you will driving in no time. I like the interior color, good choice.

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
 

Wish that was the case, but I have a few more issues to work out. I think the actual color will be a little darker than what I painted. The ultra leather has a deeper tone to it also so it will not look almond when it's done.

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
 

Found the brake problem......bad master cylinder. I bought a cheap one and installed it and got brakes right away. The trans needs some more fluid but seems to shift into reverse and drive just fine. Pulled it out under it's own power today!!!!:metal:

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
 

niiiiiice. Glad you found the issue!

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
 

Thanks! Me too. Now I have to run some vacuum lines and top off the trans tomorrow. If it seems to do ok I may take it down the block.

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
 

WOOO HOOOOOOO ... i cant wait for this day myself, CONGRATULATIONS

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
 

I AGREE!!!! Looks sweet congrats :metal:

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
 

It was a great feeling pushing the gas pedal down and moving. This was a major step for me..........still have a stupid grin on my face.:lol:

Thanks bro!!!! It has taken forever it seems to get to this point. But it was worth it!

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
 

Ahhh......the smell of new parts in the mornin!!! Got a little somethin in the mail last night, rotors!!!! This is something that I have really been looking forward to and finally have em. Cross-drilled and slotted...:metal:

Niiice!!! I have a pair ready for my upcoming project....

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
 

truck is looking awesome and sounds great!

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
 

Thanks sourkraut!! Did a quick vid to show that I have to give it alot of gas just to get it going, I guess that the trans is not filled up yet so I hope there are no issues.

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
 

Congrats on the milestone Bro........ sounds good! we had a small rear intake leak, so i had the pleasure of R&R the intake this weekend, hope it's sealed up good now.

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
 

good progress man! nice to see that thing rollin!

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
 

That sux. I am having the slippy transmission issue right now so we'll see what happens.......

Thanks Kev!! Taking it to Niftee 50ees this weekend (weather permitting) and let people check it out for the first time at a big show. You should try to make the pilgrimage to the Northside of town!!!!

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
 

Got the rotors cleaned, painted, and installed today!!!!

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
 

I told ya you'd be driving in no time! sounds good.

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
 

Thanks Heath! I am tryin to follow the pic that I drew of it as closely as possible.

You were right...just not really "driving" it. Can't wait to get the trans correct so when I push the gas it goes!!

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
 

Have you checked both the fluid level and also the kickdown cable adjustment? Don't think it is the cable...but you never know until you rule out all the possibilities...

...was the torque converter full of fluid when you bolted it up?
