Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
 

Thanks man, really happy with the attention it has gotten from just a couple of shows. Can't wait to see what this summer brings!!!:metal:

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
 

I had to do a couple of things to my truck this past weekend, my waterpump went out with 222 miles on it so I had to get another one, paint it and install it. While I was under the hood I did some cleaning and repainted a couple of little things. Strangest thing happened, I went to Competition Sales (race store) to return a AN fitting for my fuel hose and spent about $300 bucks while I was out! How did that happen?!?!?:lol: Anyway, I came home with a new fan shroud, a nifty billet power steering pump cap, an upper radiator flex hose and a few little odds and ends.

Another update from a few weeks ago that I didn't get to post cause I was having my gall bladder removed and recooping from that. I got some Kicker 6.5 inch speakers for my kick panels and painted the speaker grills to match. also got my airride guages more permanently mounted. I accidentally stomped my gas pedal on purpose infront of the house and my carrier bearing didn't like it.......so now I get to fix that too.:metal:

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
 

: ) Thanks Mike!

It is big variation in color and it looks awesome in the pics. That green has a little candy to it also, it turns gold.

Thanks Sevenduece! Didn't want to hack it up, so original it stayed!!!

Awesome! Can't wait to see that one done!!!!

Thanks McB! It is gonna be really cool, I'm jumpin on that thread!

Hey Jeff!!! Thanks man, hoping to see more updates from you on your project! Get to work buddy!!!

Cool, Mark!! I'm going to check it out and subscribe to it too. Glad you got your thread rollin and we are all going to be happy seeing one of our trucks in Australia!!! Keep those pics coming!:metal:

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
 

Sweet pics!!

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
 

Hey I think I read earlier in the thread, that you were using spacers for your wheels... What brand or type of spacer did you use. I'm running some BZO King lips and need some help finding spacers.

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
 

Sorry for the slow reply Sevenduece, I was in Vegas loosing money!!! :lol: I just saw a whole stack of them at Competition Sales on 45 and Gulf Bank last week, like $7.99 each. Try Pep Boys too, they carry half the stuff that Comp Sales does and about the same price.

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
 

LOL, I was just there like 2 months ago and was doing the same thing!! Thanks for that info, I'm going to have to stop by Comp sales this weekend. Man your truck is so clean, will you be putting it in Texas Showdown in June?

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
 

Thanks for the compliments!!! I dunno, that show is kinda starting to draw the wrong kind of crowd, but I will be thinking about going. Dang Vegas.........:lol:

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
 

Your supposed to be making money for that wood bed...just thought I'd bring it up. :)

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
 

Well done Dave. you deserve it , its a killer truck

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
 

Got a couple of things at the Pate Swap Meet near Ft. Worth at the Texas Motor Speedway this past weekend a few small items and this. A V8 tach, but not sure if it works yet still have to test it and see. The needle is at 510 rpm but it may click back to "0" when I hook it up to power. Any thoughts? What's it worth?

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
 

It should be at zero....disassemble it and clean it out and lube the mechanism to see how it does at that point...then hook it up. Still worth around 200 sold in parts if it's not working....got great coloring on the face....with new bezel, polished lens, and cleaned up that's a 350-400 tach if it's working (and a new needle for the speedo)

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
 

Thanks VA, I knew you would jump in. Sounds like a little tinkering and maybe I will have purchased a really good deal at $80 bucks! May PM you for a little help on it when I pull it apart.

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
 

For anyone who has not been to Pate, here is a good pic of the event. Covers acres and acres, where comfy shoes and plan at least 2 days!!! This is a pic from about 1/2 mile away and couldn't get it all in the pic.

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
 

Wow 200,000. I'm pretty sure I'll never those numbers. That tach will look good in there.

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
 

Yep, 200,000.......boredom has reared it's ugly head!!!! I really hope this thing works properly, if not I will have a great platform for a nice aftermarket conversion.

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
 

nice find on that tach dash...80 bucks is a steal

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
 

Sweet congrats on the 200k mark !

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
 

Great find on the Tach cluster. That is about how mine started out when I got it. A little help from VA72c10 and it looks like new again.

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
 

Dave i got a harness from one of the guys in this site , he cut me a good deal to . thanks for looking for me a the swap meet

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
 

I thought so too! Hope that it works with no issues.

:metal: Trying to roll like you......."The View King"!!!!!:lol:

Thanks. Yeah, he is the wizard of all that is Chevy!!!

I looked and no luck. Thought I would have better luck on the OE bushings but to no avail the best I could do was aftermarket. E for Effort???:uhmk:

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
 

Thanks for the huge compliment but I'm still learning.....a lot! :D

Wish I knew 1/4 of what a lot of the guys on here know or had 1/10 of their skills :D

And yes...80 is a SCORE! Even if it doesn't work you could part out the pieces for more than that.

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
 

That is why we all love ya VA!!!! Modest and smart!!! :lol: Thanks for all the great advice over the years bro, you really are one of the greats on the forum!!!:metal:

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
 

Here are the other small parts I got while at the Pate Swap Meet. Got some billet wiper stem bullets and a chrome oil tube with pcv oil filler cap. Can't resist the chrome........kinda like a fish to a lure, cause it's shiney!!!!!:lol:
