sorry about the paint issues...what about black :D

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
 

Thanks guys. I will be doing the spray on liner on the floor, but the sides have to be painted. That wood bed conversion will look funny sittin in there with black bed walls. Really hope we get to fix this soon!

Dang bolts get rusty quick in this southern weather. Anyone make orange spark plug wires, or would that be too much orange?? What about something different than the usual black wire loom?

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
 

If I remember right Taylor makes a set of orange plug wires.

I wouldn't go with any other color than black on the wire looms. I usually try to hide the wires and not draw attention to them when I can't get them out of sight. The black loom helps make them disappear.

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
 

i have to agree....I like the hidden wires the best as well as black loom or the fabric style loom but still in black. I did the colored loom years ago....blue to match my blue 1980Z28 and chrome on a white VW turbo diesel beetle I had....but in 2011...that look is played out :haha:

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
 

Cool. Guess that sums it up. CHROME!!!!!:lol: Just kiddin, the black stays!

Agreed. They match alot of other stuff under the hood.

Black it is!!!! Thanks guys for the input, sometimes we gotta ask.

I made a super trac bar out of my adjustable today. Still got to get a sleeve for it so it will look cleaner. It may not look as nice as the $150 trac bars but it only cost me $6 to make. :metal: WOW....that's dusty. Bringing her home for the weekend to start cleaning it for the show on the 16th.

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
 

I bought an adjustable also instead of the super trac bar. Was just going to eat it. What exactly did you do? Pics!

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
 

5/8-18X3 ft. All thread rod, 3 jam nuts to fit, and a nice peice of 3/8 thick metal from a Toro 32 inch mower!! I used the bolt from the rear differential and drilled 3/4 inch holes for the u-bolt and the rear end bolt. Worked great. It is alot more sturdy than you would imagine. It took 20 minutes to drill each hole. I will be using a tie rod adjustment sleeve on it instead of the jam nuts. The sleeve will allow me to adjust it without removing either end of the trac bar since the sleeve is reverse threaded.

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
 

Oh. Forgot to mention that most tie rods are 5/8-18 so that should make it really easy to get a sleeve to fit!

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
 

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
 

OK sorry when I looked the first time I did'nt see the pictures. Thanks

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
 

If you need a better pic, I'll be able to post it tomorrow. Hate to see money wasted on parts that we THOUGHT we needed just to turn around and lose money on selling or trading them.

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
 

What tranny are you running behind the 327.

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
 

Hey, very nice work on the track bar. Keep up the hard work.

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
 

Thanks Slick67 those pics are perfect.

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
 

It's the stock Turbo 400, that should handle the 327!

Well.........it does the job. I'll paint it and make it look purdy tomorrow.:lol:

Cool, I hope it helps out a few of yall that got stuck with an adjustable. Oh yeah, the tie rod sleeve didn't work so I went to the hardware store and got a 5/8-18 connector sleeve, it's about 3 inches long and will work fine. The jam nuts will be used at each end of it and another jam nut at the end of the trac bar just for good measure.

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
 

I got the engine bay cleaned up and waxed for the most part yesterday, cleaned a little on the frame today so I can do some touch up paint on it. Started to wet sand the truck again to get it even smoother, but I only have 1500 grit here at the house so I will have to get some 2000 and work on it for a couple of days. It's starting to look better. I brought her home with me for a few days and will take her back to the shop sometime next week. Still not happy with the engine ventilation.

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
 

Looking good!!! Did you paint the bike to match? Love the pearl!!!

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
 

Thanks dude! The bike was my inspiration on the color for my truck, so they are almost a perfect match. That candy and pearl really pops in the sun, and has alot of people asking what I used when they see it in person. It is kinda different......but in a good way!

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
 

That is some sweet paint! Im diggin that bike back there too :metal:

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
 

cool pic

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
 

When ya get a few extra minutes in your busy schedule you should swing by and check it out!

Thanks, it was kinda random, I saw the colors and tried to capture it with the camera. Came out ok, but still didn't show the neon lime green.

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
 

X2! Looking sweet! Cant wait to check it out again.

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
 

Thanks! You and the wife should come out to the Niftee 50ees again. I will more than likely be taking it to the last one which is the first weekend in November. Should be a great turnout with weather permitting.

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
 

got the grille test fitted....and taped. everything as far as the latch and chip guard and grille are lining up perfect...pic posted on my thread

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
 

I saw em. It looks cool when they are that stage.

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
 

I'll definitely have to check it out sometime soon when I'm back in Spring.

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
 

This is one GREAT LOOKING ride. Wish I lived closer to see it in person.

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
 

Hope you are having fun up there!

Thank you! I say the same thing about alot of the trucks on here. ROADTRIP!!!:metal:

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
 

Ordered some breathers for the valve covers today from So Cal Speed Shop. This will eliminate the engine pressure and look pretty good doing it. I'm gonna install them on the end of the vc's closest to the firewall. Thanks 67Cheby for pointing those out to me!

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
 

sweet i hope it works , thats exactly where i plan on putting mine, and then i can take the top off to fill the oil

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
 

It should work if you have another way of venting the engine, pcv, carb intake from the filler.

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
 

i am still planning on putting a pvc on the back close to the cab on one of them , is that the only thing we should need ?

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
 

Ummmmm....yeah! The letters are right together on the keyboard. Dangit. :lol:

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
 

How do you like the alternator bracket you are running? I got the dbl hump heads also and been trying to figure out what to do about the alternator.
