Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
 

Still waiting on that one to materialize, but nothin yet. I am getting anxious for some warmer weather so I can start building my cover for the empty gas tank area behind the seats. Think I might try to make me some kickpanels too. Selling my car should help get some exhaust on my truck in the next week or two, we'll see how that one goes.

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
 

Slick67 love the truck ! I have some questions for you .20's up front ,22's rear correct ?Bags all the way around I know . Drop spindles ? C-notch ? Im starting a 67 shortbox build soon ,and love the stance and wheel combo you have !

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
 

Thnak you! Yep, 20 22 combo with 35 series tires. Bagged and 2.5 drop spindles and a small notch in the back. Easy stance to obtain and not extreme work to get it there. I also went to a 71 rearend. Just do your homework on the rim backspacing. I would recommend a four link in the rear instead of an adjustable trackbar, makes things alot easier in the long run. Start up a build thread when ya can!!!!

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
 

Thanks for the reply ! I re-read your post and found most of it . I have a 1995 caprice cop car disc rear im using . Which adjustable trackbar you using ?

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
 

Hope it materializes perfectly for you, Yeah I am lucky we have nice weather here right now. Sounds great with your idea's. I am also going to work on creating my own kick panels soon after I finish my console. Ohh! New Exhaust sounds great. Cant wait to see the upcoming Progress.

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
 

That's a great rearend! I am using the tracbar that Outback Truck Parts sells, they are just down the road from me so it's kinda scary. Don't have a namebrand on em.

Super 40s or either 40 Series Flowmasters is what I will be running so it should make some really good sounds for a video on here!!! I should have some fresh pics up the latter part of next week.

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
 

I actually have a little update on the truck......did some work!!! I pulled off the plain jane rusty master cylinder and installed my new chrome one (they gave me a faulty one first). Still gotta bleed the system and it should be good to go. How ya like the custom prop valve bracket??? Also started working on the cover for behind the seats which will hide my amp, speakers and some wiring.

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
 

well it is good to know your working on the truck!

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
 

Man, that brake setup looks great!

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
 

Hey man, that booster/master cylinder looks killer! Compliments the beauty of the whole truck....:metal:

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
 

i like it ...i just bought a prop valve mount like that from cpp

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
 

SWEET!! The brake set up looks good.

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
 

Finally!

Took forever to get it, but it was worth it.

Thanks Bro! I couldn't bare to see a plain old brake settup under the hood.

Thanks! I made that one in about 15 minutes and shot some black spray paint on it. I guess it looks ok cause it is hidden under the prop valve.

Hey dude! I gotta get over to your thread and check out your progress, maybe harrass ya a little bit too.:lol:

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
 

I'm making some progress, little by little. it's never fast enough though.

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
 

Amen Brother! My 1 year project is going on 3 years.

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
 

well as all of us know there never done but just getting close to our dreams! there will always be somthin:flat tire new battery, new brakes ....you dont like the upholstery so you reupolster it the list will go on a nd on and on,but with that being said it is nice to know your not cheating on your 67 with your buddys coupe!

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
 

Cheated with the coupe today.:metal: Waiting for payment on the headers that I sold so I can order my new headers then I will have plenty to do on my project. After installing my headers I can make all of my spark plug wires, install a permanent wire for the HEI, put the cap on the HEI, install my alternator, then go and have the exhaust put on it. After all that I can finally fine tune the 327!

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
 

autopro in conroe does a pretty damn good job and is priced pretty good too...he did my exhaust on my 03 z71 twice(went from stock to dual out the rear corners of the bed with a flow master 40 series to a dump over the axle with a cherrybomb extreme...., and on the matrix. he quoted me 250 for the whole system including the flanges.

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
 

That is cheap! I use this guy who does all the hotrods and showcars on the North-Northwest side of town. He is doing true duals with Pro 40 Series mufflers and an H-pipe for $450. That is not the lowest I have found, but he takes his time and does and excellent job.

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
 

Progress is progress... Looking good...

Heath and I have discussed this at length "Drunken Pinstriping".....it could be a new fad. Drawbacks are....pissed off customers!!!:lol:

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
 

I'm on my way to Cali to start a trend.....first thing tomorrow. Dang, I gotta work on my truck tomorrow.

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
 

Here is my latest drawing, it's for a company that does air ride and custom stuff. They are supposed to build this for a customer. It is an Extended cab 57. The customer needs the extended cab cause he is a basketball player and can't drive it unless they do this.:uhmk:
