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

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
