Dude, just started reading this thread today, and fortunately I had to hit "last page" to see how it looks finished--so I saw to vote. I just got in under the wire with the 1249th vote, so I had to get on another computer and get a smooth 1250! If I'm reading the current results right, you are smoking every other vehicle by about a thousand votes! Super build thread, and truly a Slick 67!

Oh--I didnt know there was a page one, didn't see that Abigale thing. Dagnabbit

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
 

Just did it!!

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
 

Thank you so much for taking the time to go through the thread a see my build! These other guys deleted the cookies and voted for themselves hundreds of times, but they didn't read the fine print.....views and comments make a difference in the final decision!! Thanks for the votes and I hope we see Slick67 in the catalog!!!

Thanks Bro! Hope I get the win! :metal:

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
 

You mentioned that your intake is a knock-off, with the Chev PN and the snowflake, etc. Where did it come from?

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
 

I just got completely through your thread up to this point! Again EXCELLENT--the truck, the thread, the inspiration, the pinups;), all of it! You should get a gig in PR, or instruction, or something like that!

This video from Wilcox Corvette about tach restoration tells you how to "zero" a factory tach. If the truck tach is similar to the one in the video, it might help you on the one you 'stole' at Pate. It's an electric vette tach, not a mechanical.

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
 

I found the intake on Craigs here in Houston. The intake is a Chevy OEM intake but was a replacement to the original through the dealerships. It is my understanding they did not make an aluminum intake like this but did offer them aftermarket from dealerships.....I could be mistaken.

Thank You! I really hoped my learning curve would help someone in the future, guess it is! I am gonna watch the vid and see what I can do to get my tach ready for install, I sure appreciate you posting that for me!

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
 

Thanks for taking the time to post these, I may be able to mess with it this week. :metal:

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
 

J, you're killin me.....I have been reading thread after thread and now I am wanting to go out to the garage and wake up the neighborhood crankin on my truck. I gotta get this tach in my truck soon!:lol:

Cool.....His and Hers Rides! We would love to have you guys down here, too bad for all of us that the trophies will be going home with you....


Thank you sir! It has been a great year for Slick and myself. This year will be geared more towards driving to the shows than trailering.

Truck got lots of attention being parked at the front gate, also won Best Paint. Congrats again David.

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
 

Thank you lolife!! It was a great show, have to say an estimated 8,000 people showed up for LST. This is a do not miss show! Glad it's just a few short miles from me!!

Thanks Blown06!!! Location Location Location!!!! I got the one of the best spots in the show thanks to Jarrod of Adam's Polishes who asked me if I would be his display truck!! Here is a pic of the award.....it is super nice. It has a place for an 8X10 photo to be put in it.

Got a couple of upgrades for Slick in this week. Hoping to get it all installed this weekend!! A nice billet carrier bearing from CPP after cratering my second OE style, a Lokar aluminum kickdown for the TH400 and all the bracketry and some really nice pinion shims for the rearend from Carl's. Dang trucks are never done. Here is the progress so far.

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
 

Your truck is really nice. I went through most of your thread (little reading, but mostly pic gawking) and am just in awe at the amount of work you put into it. Very nice! I bet there's more people with whiplash (from turning their head to look at your truck) in TX than ever before now. :-) You should be proud.

Just a quick question: Did you cut the cab corners for some reason or is that just how they were in 67? Hadn't seen that or paid attention I guess.

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
 

First off, thank you Whitey for taking the time to flip through my thread!!! It was a long process and tons of work, but worth it everytime I see someone almost wreck because of looking!!! :metal: The cab corners had been bent up and creased by the PO who had ran the exhaust tightly under the body. I thought that was going to be the case with how mine would be run but it didn't turn out that way, although the extra room helped with muffler clearance in the end. Good eye!!!

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
 

Well I never though of that for exhaust clearance but I can see how that would help and wouldn't effect looks in anyway. Ill keep that idea tucked away and break it out if I ever need it. Hope to get to see your truck in person someday, jut not while I'm driving mine so I don't wreck it while rubbernecking at yours. :-)

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
 

HAHAHa. There are better ways to do it, like running it through the crossmember, but mine was already that way. I would love to take my truck around the US and enjoy all the shows but time and money would run out quickly!

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
 

LOL, i missed these ....Thanks !

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
 

How could I forget ya Mike......we know what has to be captured on film, and if it didn't....it didn't happen.:lol:

Lol, missed you at GoodGuys I was hoping you would be there !

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
 

Me too brother. I am trying for the Fall GoodGuys, but I suppose that one a year is enough for you. Still would like to see Cloud going around the track!

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
 

Maybe you and Mike could do some drafting and hold em' wide open for a lap or two:lol: Just watch out for the yellow shirt guys on the golf carts.
