good idea! lol

hey, what size tires you running front and back?

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
 

Maybe one day if ya make it down south, i'd be happy to take you for a spin!

Hahaha, looks cool enough to keep it on!! 245/35-20 front and 245/35-22 in back, I think. It's been awhile since I put them on, pretty sure that they are 245 and I am positive they are 35.

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
 

dang...i scored a set of cheap 22's and they came with 30 series tires...i figure they are gonna be too small.

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
 

One of these days I'm going to take a long road trip in my truck and Texas looks like the place to be to see some killer trucks.

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
 

Nah. Ride on em till you need some new ones, then get some 35s!!

That sounds like a great plan, and I know some great places to go! Come on down and we'll have some BBQ and some cold ones after the show! First Saturday of every month we have the Coffee and Cars from 8 to 10 then the Niftee 50's show from 5 to 10. Go check out the Coffee and Cars FM249 on Youtube, there is some cool stuff there!

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
 

Congrats on getting the engine back in and running!!!! I was home this past weekend and nifty fiftees was great. WOW. I've gotta check out Coffee and Cars.

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
 

No problem, hope it helps out. I was looking at this pic, trying to see what you currently have configured. If I'm seeing it right, it looks like you've got a vac line going from the manifold vacuum port (just behind the passenger side of the carb) to the oil fill tube cap (which I am making a bit of an assumption on believing that it is also a breather filter). I also see a vac hose coming off the PCV fitting on the front of the carb, but I'm not certain where it's going, unless that's connecting to the PCV valve you mention in your response.

If I am seeing this right, I think it will all straighten out if you disconnect the vac line between the manifold and the breather filter and cap off both ends. If I'm not seeing it right, then I'm all wet. :lol:

I was outta town this weekend so no shows, but the Coffee and Cars was incredible. 1932 Highboys all the way to Lambo Guillardos, it was really cool to see the full spectrum of new and old hot rods and exotics.

I did run the power booster to the manifold and the breather to the carb which seem to help alot. The hose you see going from the front of the carb is going to the trans, but that is changing tomorrow. I will run that to the small vaccum tube on the front which is really all it needs. It was running fine today with everything just thrown together with tubes not fitting properly and such, but it will done correctly by the weekend. This should be the fix to the problem, then it will be time to throw a new video up with it running properly!!! :metal:

Did anyone see the orange 67 C10 at about 1:22 in the Youtube video above? That truck is really clean, and low! I was driving to the show that morning and I saw it going down the road in the opposite direction. Wish I could have gotten a couple of pics for you guys.

He is a member on here, his name is Take2. His buddy greens69 is in the aqua colored Blazer 2 spots over.

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
 

I have met the guy with the aqua Blazer before, he is good people. When I see him again maybe the orange short wide will be around him.

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
 

I just went thru your whole buil thread and WOW is all I can say....Outstanding job...

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
 

Thanks Bro!!! I really enjoy hearing someone checked out the whole thread, it's a huge compliment! I have checked in on yours from time to time and I really like the finished product, it is SWEET! The rim and tire choice was perfect for your truck. Thanks again big al!

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
 

Well, today I set the timing for the final time and hope that the air/fuel is close. I pulled it out of the shop and back in to make sure all was fine for a short spin.

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
 

Here is the "little spin" around the block, everything seems fine except for the grinding sound in the speedometer. I guess that's not too bad. The video is kinda crappy since the camera was a little shaky.

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
 

Very nice!!! Congrats...oh...and get that speedo cable fixed ;)

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
 

Excellent job, I like the color of your truck.

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
 

ya what he said...LOL, is it the cable or the speedometer itself ??

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
 

Nice to see it back on the road.

It's far to quiet if you can hear that speedo mechanism clicking ;)

It actually has quite a pleasant mellow sound to it at idle. It's nice to be able to hear the stereo without having it at 90% volume once in a while.

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
 

nice! you know my 67 dealer book did say that factory A/C trucks are a quit ride LOL
