I know. It sucks having almost everything working properly and then hearing that........errrrrrrrr.

Thanks 88! It turns a few different colors in the sun so kinda keeps people lookin!

I think the speedo, gotta check into that this coming week. It's buggin the crap outta me.

Not to mellow when you are standing by the exhaust, so who needs a radio!

Maybe because the 2-55 air conditioning is a little loud?!?!?:lol:

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
 

you were driving with A/C?

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
 

No kidding. My Camaro is so loud I didn't bother even putting stereo in it. All it has is an AM/FM radio so I can tune in to the track tower broadcast when the car is in the pits or staging lanes (not running of course).

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
 

No.....2 windows down at 55 miles per hour. 2-55 A/C. :lol:

Sweet! Sounds like my buddy's 67 Camaro, too loud for a radio. I personally will not turn mine on unless someone is riding with me that wants to hear something other than the engine thumpin! What a waste of horsepower.:uhmk:

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
 

LMAO i thought it was supposed to be 2-60!

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
 

In most parts of Texas it's a 2-70! But since it is so hot here I guess the state figured it would keep us cooler at those speeds.:lol:

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
 

not bad... im jealous of your 67... its an A/C cab that has just been blocked off..... i wish i could trade my heater cab and you could block that off! lol

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
 

I got lucky on the a/c cab, but it's a little late to do any cab swappin! I'll be doing the a/c on it in the near future, since the weather is startin to cool down some............well from 100+ to 90+.:lol:

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
 

my weather is going from 100 to the 90s and 80s... next month it should be 70 60... im getting a new cab for my 67 its a small window A/C trim with radio of course the am is gone but i have one to put in. so i will do A/C but for now just the heater and defroster. so ill copy you for a bit.

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
 

What a day. Couldn't get my horn button workin. The battery has given up and won't take a charge. Last but not least, I broke down driving around the block, no fuel getting to the carb. Luckily it isn't too bad, a new filter and it should cure the problem. No pictures of the breakdown, but trust me, it happened. :waah:

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
 

sorry the 67 left ya stranded! well hopefully new battery or charge the one you have and a fuel pump and you should be back were you were... cruisin!

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
 

That sucks. I've been there, trying to get it to crank and pushing it just enough to get you back in the driveway. You'll get it, I've got faith in ya! :lol:

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
 

It seems to be the filter, so that's no big deal. I am going to change it today and hopefully that is the cure. Pushing a new truck ain't cool......

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
 

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
 

I think that is a common thing! The battery just won't hold a charge, but the alt is puttin out the right amps. I have had the battery for a year or so, maybe they'll replace it cause they know that my truck isn't on the road yet. O'Reilly has really been cool about that kinda stuff, and since I have spent big $$$ with them on this project they work with me!

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
 

This page of the build thread needs some color! Unfortunately the color didn't match so I get to scuff it, sand it a little bit and then we get to reshoot it. My painter said "have some faith" after I told him it didn't look right, at the end of the day he was cussin like a sailer!!! The correct paint didn't cover with two coats so we used a different color of orange to "fog it".......bad idea.

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
 

Another shot of the latest misadventure of Slick67. Can't seem to catch a break at this point of the build. My truck has never been this dirty.

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
 

Yes sir it does. I like those 90s, they would work well if I have to go that direction and the price ain't bad either.

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
 

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
 

sorry about the paint issues...what about black :D

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
 

Thanks guys. I will be doing the spray on liner on the floor, but the sides have to be painted. That wood bed conversion will look funny sittin in there with black bed walls. Really hope we get to fix this soon!

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
 

Dang bolts get rusty quick in this southern weather. Anyone make orange spark plug wires, or would that be too much orange?? What about something different than the usual black wire loom?

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
 

If I remember right Taylor makes a set of orange plug wires.

I wouldn't go with any other color than black on the wire looms. I usually try to hide the wires and not draw attention to them when I can't get them out of sight. The black loom helps make them disappear.
