Those tires look familiar :lol: I have the same ones in my house right now. Everything is looking great and your right the Porterbuilt stuff is expensive but the quality is top notch.

Re: 67c10 build
 

nice shoes. They will last a long time and the parts look great. I wish I was as far along on my build as you. and I can remember when I started and said the same thing about other builds. My cab is almost finshed with the body work.

Re: 67c10 build
 

Thank you, my cab will be a big hurdle. It needs a lot of work.

Re: 67c10 build
 

I'm with you on the filler neck. I totally get the benifits of relocating the tank, but I just really like the stock look AND really don't like the look of all the different ways people install a rear filler. Don't want one on the bed floor or in the bed side.

What are your plans for the motor? Alreay have a trans or plans for that?

Re: 67c10 build
 

I'm gonna run an in cab tank, don't mind it at all. I'm really having a hard time doing anything real crazy to this truck. I wanna be driving this when I'm 90 and it still be cool. Just don't wanna build something that's cool in the moment. Original is always cool and will bring in the money if I ever part with it. I'm gonna just do a mild rebuild on the 402, nothing crazy, again maybe sticking along stock lines but of course a set of headers. I have the turbo 400 I took out of the parts truck I will rebuild and run that

Finally some updates, cut my 67 frame to match the 71 parts truck frame for header clearance. Unfortunately I never thought of this before powdercoat. A little tape and a jigsaw and it cut it no problem, file and some touch up and can't even tell.

Scored on a real nice tach dash, typical faded temp gauge but just bought a NOS one on eBay.

20x8 4.25 bs in the front

Re: 67c10 build
 

Looks bad ass! Getting my wheels and tires bolted on was a big deal too. Really lit a fire under my azz. Nice score on the tach cluster!!

Re: 67c10 build
 

Frame cut turned out great, rolling chassis looks awesome. Gotta love the vintecs too!

Got these ready for you if you still think you can use them. Later

Re: 67c10 build
 

just PM me your address and we'll see what postage runs.

Had to come check out the pics on my compooper instead of the phone, man that chassis looks great. Can you take some more pics for me to drool over? I was looking real close at the wheels and they do look exactly like my Budniks except I noticed BS has the old style caps, Budnik uses a new sleeker low profile cap. I have one of the old style Budnik caps that looks just like yours but my wheels have the new style like this pic. I wonder if BS has the new caps too. I am still curious if the same shop is making both wheels for BS and Budnik.

Re: 67c10 build
 

The bs caPs are nooo fun to get on or off. I was scared I was gonna drop the cap on the lip. They use a little rubber o ring and suction to the wheel.

It looks really nice, and I love those wheels! Mines been ready to roll out like that for a while but I have it blocked in with a parts truck. I'll get it out soon.

Keep up the progress.. Looking good.

Re: 67c10 build
 

Thanks Jimmy. Motor is gettin worked on now, unfortunately sounds like it'll be a few months. I have all engine components so I'm hoping at the latest early may I will get to start on the body.

Re: 67c10 build
 

I was searching to find an answer on steering stops used with modular spindles and found your build. What did you do for stops? Great work!

Re: 67c10 build
 

Steering stops?
Posted via Mobile Device

Re: 67c10 build
 

The truck has no bump stops. The previous owner decided to take them out because he was trying to bag it
Posted via Mobile Device

Re: 67c10 build
 

Yes steering stops. limits the amount that a wheel can turn. Prevents tires from rubbing on inner fenders. They were part of the bump stop bracket. Stock and old school drop spindles heve a bump that ran into that bump stop bracket. You will want something. I'll post a picture soon.

Re: 67c10 build
 

that wheel never goes out of style IMO. nice choice

Re: 67c10 build
 

Yeah never Even thought about it. What about lock to lock on a box? Won't that stop the wheels

Re: 67c10 build
 

I just read up on it a little and it sounds like people go either way. Some cut them off just for more travel or because of bags. I'll run what I have and see how it works (those control arm shafts are a pain in the butt). Good poInt though

Re: 67c10 build
 

Thanks Hector, I liked them on everything, mild to wild rides they looked good on. Since I have no idea on the color yet I figured the vintecs would be a safe bet

Re: 67c10 build
 

Shaft replacement?

Re: 67c10 build
 

Just meant changing the control arm shafts into those control arms was a pain

Re: 67c10 build
 

Sorry if someone has already asked but what trailing arms are they?

Re: 67c10 build
 

Early classic enterprises trailing arms and crossmember, you can buy either separate
