You do any square bodies in the paint? and how big? I could use a few prints like that for my rec room.

Shoot me an email on all the details if you don't mind.

Sweet truck man! What gauges are those you put in and what sizes are they?

Re: '77 c10 "charlene" bagged on billets
 

ya bro for sure, im an artist, i do all sorts of oil paintings and portraits an weird stuff, i figured i should paint some chevy trucks for my fellow truckers

Re: '77 c10 "charlene" bagged on billets
 

o'reilys finest...equus gages, 2 1/8 if im not mistaken

Re: '77 c10 "charlene" bagged on billets
 

They really look good! Probably a more economical way to go than AutoMeter. I have been looking for a nice alternative to AM since I have to change my speedo with the LS swap. Would you mind posting a picture of the gauges straight on and what they look like at night too? How do you like them?

Re: '77 c10 "charlene" bagged on billets
 

Yes they were in my price range and still lok great. Ill post a pic when I get a chance

Re: '77 c10 "charlene" bagged on billets
 

Well, I just realized they don't have an electric speedo so I can't use it with my LS...dang I thought I had found my solution!

Re: '77 c10 "charlene" bagged on billets
 

Seen this thing cruising up 66 a week or so ago.... looks good 'hovering' down the road :lol: . Been by the shop more than once but too busy to see what other projects your group was nearing completion on.

Hopefully can catch up w/you guys @ Kellers soon.

Re: '77 c10 "charlene" bagged on billets
 

oh man... well hope you find an alternative solution. those autometers sure are nice but a bit pricey

Re: '77 c10 "charlene" bagged on billets
 

haha ya ive been beating the streets lately. ya stop by, couple of the guys got some cool projects going on...ls motors and intro wheels are flying around over there...

Re: '77 c10 "charlene" bagged on billets
 

I check to see what's new in the parking lot every time I'm picking up some plating or leaving my storage building. I spoke w/YellowGT @ the Turkey Drag when they had just swapped the new rear set-up onto the crew-cab.

Nice looking ride.

Re: '77 c10 "charlene" bagged on billets
 

what fuel pressure are yall running? my truck turned off while driving, reads roughly up to 4 psi right now and it doesnt stay on. im pretty sure i set it to 6-7. could my filter be clogged? or fuel regulator be clogged? it def aint the timing, has power, and correct volt. itll stay on only if i step on the gas pedal and constantly feed it fuel, but it just wont stay on.

help!

Re: '77 c10 "charlene" bagged on billets
 

Different carbs have diff psi requirements. Quadrajets & Carter/AFB style carbs utilize 5psi max while Holleys use slightly higher up to 7psi. Check your supply source for flow issues (in-line filters, fuel pump issues, in-tank sock).

Re: '77 c10 "charlene" bagged on billets
 

will do, im running a holley 750 dp, and a electric holley fuel pump out a fuel cell. one thing im pretty sure i ran out of gas and i may have run the pump dry for a moment or two...dont know if that may have damaged the pump

Re: '77 c10 "charlene" bagged on billets
 

Your truck looks bad a$$ !

Re: '77 c10 "charlene" bagged on billets
 

Dude the truck is so sick! I have a 79 swb that I need to get started on and your truck is motivation!

Re: '77 c10 "charlene" bagged on billets
 

thank you gentlemen..

so now i found out the issue of why the truck wont stay on and idle. the throttle iddler screw backed off from the vibration of the motor. i feel like a stupid bleep.

in other news.........i drained my oil breather resivour and ounces of what seams to be fuel, and about a half ounce of the "milky substance" poured out. panic mode is in effect. im guessing the valve covers arent pouring out fuel but, maybe im running too rich and the vapors are collected in the res tank.

any imput?

Re: '77 c10 "charlene" bagged on billets
 

when i take the pcv valve out the valve cover, smoke spews out..

Re: '77 c10 "charlene" bagged on billets
 

heres what im working with, one pcv valve coming out each valve cover into a res tank..

Re: '77 c10 "charlene" bagged on billets
 

truck is running super lean, ive parked it and it is now going under theh knife once again.
next objective is to get rid of this camber issue...i know ive put it off but the time has come.
upper a arms are gonna b mounted 1.5 inches higher and steering shaft will be relocated.
its officially lone star roundup crunch time. i have about a month to do this and a couple other small things like add a radio, fix the carb issue, pin stripe the hood, and paint a logo on the door pannels. ill try to keep yall posted.

Re: '77 c10 "charlene" bagged on billets
 

I will be at LSRU too (minus truck) hit me up..... Truck looks good bro I really like how your wheels came out

Re: '77 c10 "charlene" bagged on billets
 

Good looking truck. I saw your buddy's white crew at Turkey Drag with the 24's, it looked sick, but it stayed on the trailer...

Re: '77 c10 "charlene" bagged on billets
 

thanks, and for sure man. im really excited this year bout roundup! i missed last year cause my truck was in pieces.

Re: '77 c10 "charlene" bagged on billets
 

ya if im not mistaken he tried to have the truck ready by lone star throwdown but didnt make it. hes getting down on the truck, ls motor that has a sweet sounding cam, wilwood brakes, digital gages, fuel cell. i shoulda made a build thread for him.

Re: '77 c10 "charlene" bagged on billets
 

Heres a pretty cool project hanging round the shop, 4 door dually bagged on alcoas. These guys are building stuff left and right over here. Ill post some more stuff later of the "4 brothers" here at bedrock customs

Re: '77 c10 "charlene" bagged on billets
 

I noticed the shell sitting out in the yard while things were getting swapped around. Didn't go down the street last time I was in the neighborhood to see how much progress was made.

Re: '77 c10 "charlene" bagged on billets
 

I was gonna put these big eared monsters on charlene but after taking a closer look at em, they needed too much work for me, new seals handles vent windows and not to mention it had a little cancer.

Its just im sick of the shaved doors thing, thats for the birds man. But itll have to do for now, so im just gonna keep mine and re shave em, and def put a "dirty hair" shop logo on em

i lettered these doors for a customer. Its a '63 ford f-100, this truck was built by the owner of crown customs. Its super legit.

Re: '77 c10 "charlene" bagged on billets
 

Finally time to install a raised bed floor. Though i like to look at the frame and porterbuilt pieces....and most of all i enjoyed how easy it was to do maintenance on the rear of the truck due to the big hole i cut in the bed, i need a functional bed to haul stuff. This truck was built to be driven and put to use.

Took a trip to texas square bodies yesterday, and started fitting the bed in late last night

Re: '77 c10 "charlene" bagged on billets
 

Yup i even put my "muchacha sucia" 2003 silverado to work. Theres a sneak peek of my "raised wood bed floor, not quit finished need to add bed bolts, and ahandle, the bed will lift up to put fuel in the fuel cell in the back under the bed

Re: '77 c10 "charlene" bagged on billets
 

Started trimming the back corners out. Justinstalled the bed floor and fenders for some measurements. Going to raise the bed roughly 7 3/4 inched. Til the fender touched the bottom of the top rail. Super excited about this floor. I bought the 1 x 1 inch square tubing already for the frame itll sit on. Im just worried about the gas filler to the fuel cell. I didnt want a hole in the floor but thats all i can think of with out lowering the fuel cell.
Probably just gonna get an alum racing door flap from a circle track parts shop.

Re: '77 c10 "charlene" bagged on billets
 

Looks so good!

Re: '77 c10 "charlene" bagged on billets
 

looking good bro.....

Re: '77 c10 "charlene" bagged on billets
 

Thanks fellas..

So i have a camber issue that i need to fix asap. My buddy with the white 4 door c10 raised the a arm 2 inches and seemed to work. So i did it and it def worked for me. But i want to go the extra mile and narrow the front end one inch. So i had to grind away the edges of the a arm bracket so the a arm bolts directly to the base. Next i have to narrow the bottom a arm 1 inch to compensate.

Re: '77 c10 "charlene" bagged on billets
 

Need to re route to steering linkage also

Re: '77 c10 "charlene" bagged on billets
 

Nice work bro...
