Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window

Wow, wish they'de still have some rockers and cab corners in stock. Maybe a core support too. The trucks real nice lookin slick67. I really like the side emblem, makes it look like its going real fast sittin still.

hey, quick ????

Got my antenna installed today in the cowl but don't see the hole for the grommet....do you remember where it's located since you just installed that mac daddy antenna??? ;)

Right by where the antenna goes in the cowl there is a small hole like 3/8 just below the windsheild in the cab.

did your truck have a antenna from the factory or dealership if not then you will need to drill a hole but if you did then it should be there i would take the cowl panel off and put it all the way you want it then bolt the cowl back on;)

^ agreed!

don't want to thread jack too much ;) but it did have an antenna...so that's what is puzzling me...everything is shaved on my other truck so I never paid attention to where the antenna came out of and this one was done before as well of course...

Drill in the closest spot on the cab where the antenna wire is, you will be very close!

Hey Suville! Yeah, worn out hinges will do that but I gotta try aligning the hinges one more time.

that is what i was just going to say :lol: if you take the springs off and it can be lined up good then you need new springs if it don't then i would say you need hinges..... its been to long since i did mine i had the same issue and i believe we went with new springs and hinges........oh and your truck looks AWSOME!!!!!:jdp:

Cool. That gives me a little something to try. Thanks for the compliments!

DO NOT USE REPRO HOOD HINGES! They will fold up due to thin metal and damage your hood and fenders. GMpartsdirect.com has Original GM Hood hinges, so they are probably still available from a local GM dealer (special order, I'm sure). GMpartsdirect shows the parts numbers and prices like below:

LH Hood Hinge 3911705 $66.64
RH Hood Hinge 3911706 $45.46

I have heard they suck too. The hinges are tight and seem to be in perfect shape, guess I'll test them by taking the springs out.

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window

Still got em! They are in the storage shed behind the shop and are awaiting new tires. I have plenty of other things to spend my money on for now so the tires are kinda on the backburner. Radiator and hoses, brake booster and lines, and front crossdrilled rotors are on the menu for now.

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window

well when you get any of that stuff let see it or hear about it oh wait its a sit well lets see about it:lol:

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window

hey david, figure i would drop by. i checked out your truck and "that other car" the day i went by the shop lol

both are very clean man, the paint on both of them looks flawless. i was asking your friend ronnie about the a/c setup and he said you might go with vintage. did you already get the stock setup or is it just going to be easier to go with vintage?

It's gonna be a while before that stuff happens, having to slow my roll on the project to save some $$$. It will crank back up when the funds are right!

Thanks Kevin! Glad you got to see them! It was an A/C truck so I have all the stuff that came off of it, but Vintage Air is probably what I will go back with. The expense and the reliability are what made up my mind. To revive the old system would actually cost more in the long run. I'll get those parts powdercoated Thursday maybe Friday so you can scoop em up this weekend.

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window

no rush on the parts. im going to corpus christi this weekend anyways, might get a chance to go sunday if your there.

hey, what headers are you gonna run? i seen the stock ones in there, you gonna paint them or go with shorties?

Ducting under the dash and getting the seats bolted down for a test fit with the carpet in. I suppose I could wire everything under the hood so I could get my radio workin. You are more than welcome to come by and help!:lol:

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window

I moved everything outta the shop and cleaned it. We moved all of the truck parts in and set them up as they would be painted. Ready for Saturday.

We cleaned a little, but still have a mess to the side. Cody wants to keep it as stock as possible which is cool cause it is a Highlander truck. Come out before you get it running too. It's every Saturday and it's close to the shop.
