Thanks Man! Just got all the fabricated radiator hose tubes, air intake tube and radiator core support cover back from the powder coat shop. They came out really nice! All of the Hydra boost is plumbed as is all of the air ride compressors and tank and bags. Should have it started by Monday and hope to have the interior back in on Tuesday. So it wont be long now before I will be down to Tower Shops!

Re: Budget Buster 68 C10 swb fleetside
 

Nice! Are you doing the air ride and brakes yourself? I installed all of the plates and bags in my truck and that part is pretty easy. I also did all of the brakes, control arms, pitman arm, idler arm, tie rod ends with billet adjusters, I also did all new stainless steel brake lines complete.

Re: Budget Buster 68 C10 swb fleetside
 

My best friend Raul (72 camaro silver) is going to do it for me at his garage and I will be the helper. he is also building a 71 stepside. Come on down to west pines I could use all the help possible :lol:.. By the way my wife is in love with your chevelle!!!!

Re: Budget Buster 68 C10 swb fleetside
 

You could be the best husband in the world and buy it for her!

Re: Budget Buster 68 C10 swb fleetside
 

I would not be a great husband because once she found out how much I spent on it she would kill me. Hahahah

Re: Budget Buster 68 C10 swb fleetside
 

LOL! I will try to do a video tomorrow if I have a minute! Interior is going in on Wednesday so hopefully it will be drivable this weekend!

Re: Budget Buster 68 C10 swb fleetside
 

holy smokes you are moving man ....

Re: Budget Buster 68 C10 swb fleetside
 

It's been a long time coming! Start tear down in late Jan. and it was at the paint shop for a long long time! Good deal on the paint so I could not really complain too much.

Re: Budget Buster 68 C10 swb fleetside
 

define long time ?? mine build is 8 years now.....longer than that ??...LOL

Re: Budget Buster 68 C10 swb fleetside
 

10 months! But I sold my 2007 SS Silverado to do this build which left me and my wife with only one car since then! Well, I do have my Chevelle but won't drive it daily. It is a weekend or special cruise night car.

Re: Budget Buster 68 C10 swb fleetside
 

Thats great!!!!! :metal:

Cant wait to see it running..

Re: Budget Buster 68 C10 swb fleetside
 

Well this week the headliner and carpet have been installed as well as the amps and new custom built kick panels with Arc Audio Speakers. Need to build exhaust and waiting on the A/C lines and fittings to complete the whole truck! Have the seat back and it is ready to go back in as soon as we get the stereo system complete. Sub box being built right now so the seat out makes it a little easier. I will post pictures today.

Re: Budget Buster 68 C10 swb fleetside
 

hurry up ....cant wait to see them

Re: Budget Buster 68 C10 swb fleetside
 

Subscribing! Sweet truck. Where and what kind of pricing did u get in the wheels?
Posted via Mobile Device

Re: Budget Buster 68 C10 swb fleetside
 

R1,
Wheels are from Raceline and I think they cost me around $2200 shipped. 22x10 and 20x8.5

Re: Budget Buster 68 C10 swb fleetside
 

Haven't had a chance to take any new pictures yet. Got the carpet and headliner installed last week and the seat is all done and ready to go in but waiting for the stereo work to be completed first. Jeremy Miranda is building the new 3" exhaust as of today so I would guess it will be driveable tomorrow or Wednesday! We also got the air gauges and controls installed and working! Jeremy made a panel to house the gauges and controls and it was installed where the stock radio went and we installed the new radio where the stock A/C controls were.

Re: Budget Buster 68 C10 swb fleetside
 

all right ....i am calling out the angry pic MOB !! this is too much jib, jab and not enough PICS!!!

Re: Budget Buster 68 C10 swb fleetside
 

:haha: Mike that was just too funny!!!!!





we are all patiently waiting....:smoke:

Re: Budget Buster 68 C10 swb fleetside
 

OK, OK. Here's a few pictures. Exhaust will be done tomorrow but you will see the cats, stainless Magna Flow mufflers and 3" aluminized pipe. Also, you will see the Air Pressure gauges with blue LED lights mounted in a custom panel and installed in the stock radio location. Radio is going where the stock AC controls were mounted. Things are really tight under my truck using the 3" pipe!
