quote=kev2809;3598804]lol how did you do that? im finally getting my bags in then im gonna try to wire everything up too, hopefully this weekend ill get my wire and connections for it. im still waiting on my back ordered t fiitings from suicide doors. where are you mounting your tank and compressor...and valves?[/quote]

Buffer accident. :crazy: I am still unsure where I am mounting the tank, but the compressors are gonna be on the outside of the frame infront of the rearend so they will show just a little through the wheelwells. The tank may be at the back of the frame if room permits.

Truck is looking good!

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
 

OK. I got the truck Sept. 9th 08 and started the build Sept 27th 08. Just passed the 1st anniversary. Gotta do a before and now, not a before and after.......cause it ain't done yet.

Very cool. Love seeing the before and afters. Looks great!

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
 

much progress bro!

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
 

nice work man !! sweet old 67 !!

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
 

Thanks!! Gotta love the 67s.

Wild to see the transformation, that thing was a basketcase.

That's my favorite too. I can hardly sleep thinking about the finished product!!

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
 

Looks AWESOME

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
 

Now if I could get a powerplant in it....that would be awesome!!!

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
 

SCORED!!
1972 Blazer Seat backs - Brand New - $40
1967 Core Support -Brand New - $190
CPP C-notches - Brand New - $40

Powdercoated and installed the C-notches this weekend, also got the air bags on the front finalized. But with all the good things that happened there had to be some bad. I was pulling my bed and it hit my cab......chipped my paint on the lower cab corner. Hopefully it will hide with a little touchup, and no I didn't get a pic of it.....I was too pi$$ed to even look at it. I will get some pics up tonight!

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
 

Wow, sorry to hear about the cab corner, but like you said, that's one of the least seen parts of the truck with the bed installed so a quick patch job should hide it.

Great score on those parts!!!

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
 

doh,,, sorry to hear about the mishap, but you should be able to resolve.....

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
 

damn that sucks. good thing its in a spot where nobody should find it....except when i go by to check out the truck im gonna point it out!! lol, j/k

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
 

It's painful after all that work to see a huge chip in the paint, but can't let it stop progress! Here is some pics of the c-notch install, didn't get a pic of them powdercoated and installed with bags, but I will tomorrow. It was a PITA getting everything to align....especially the bags. The frame is in need of cleaning....again.

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
 

Cool...looking forward to more pictures. Did you do any mods to the trailing arm? Have you put the bed on since the bags to compare the rims to the wheel wells or did you just center the notch where the rear hit the frame?

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
 

No mods to the trailing arms, and I have had the bags on for at least 8 months so all of the pics with the bed on, the bags were already installed. The back rims seem to line up great with the wheel well center (see the pics on page 10). After everything was installed (the c's and the bags) nothing changed....only the ride height by about 2 inches. I am really hoping that the weight of the front clip and motor and all the other stuff that goes with that will pancake the bags and the front will be about 1 1/2 to 2 inches lower also. If this is the case the truck will sit with the same stance as previous pics, just 2 inches lower.

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
 

thought the truck would be finished by now.... SLACKER! :lol:

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
 

Do doubt! My date for first crank was August! After all is said and done I will be happier with the final product since I did take my time. Plus the carshow season is over for this year. So next year will be a blast.

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
 

All is good. I am past my goal of a year as well. but we are still making progress, and that is all that counts...... :devil:

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
 

Here are the pics of the powdercoated c's bolted in. I got all of the air lines ran to the front and back and the air tank hung in the rear. Pics of that will have to be a little later. Also got the bottom of the cab undercoated, it looks clean now! I did have a little help too.

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
 

Nice Helper!....... ;)

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
 

Errr..... I mean great progress on the truck... must have overlooked the truck progress at first! :lol:

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
 

Truck is looking better and better.

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
 

that is a nice helper! ;) what exactly is she doing? i like the undercoat idea, came out great!

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
 

That truck belongs to Corey Scott of Kustom Werx

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
 

Yeah...we know what you mean. She spent four hours at the shop, new record! My girl has been cool about all the time I spend at the shop for about 4 months, before that it was a battle.
Thanks VA, Got word that my engine should be done in a couple of weeks so new pics of that are coming.
She's hot! She came to bring lunch and I put a 1/2 drill in her hand.....no pun intended.....and she started drilling the holes in the frame for the air hose hangers and installed them! She did a great job, also helped put the cab and bed back on the frame. The dull undercoating is a nice contrast with the shiney frame and small silver and chrome parts on the underside.

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
 

Hey bud, sorry i have not checked in in a while. The truck sure is coming along great, lots of progress and COLOR, wow that thing is gonna stand out, and your helper will sure have a nice ride to enjoy with you in the end, way to go you dog!!!!

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
 

he's slacking... too much fun with the helper, and not enough on the truck :lol:

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
 

I think the side moulding trim will break up the orange just enough......I hope! Not a whole lotta progress over the past couple of weeks.....other than what she did! I do have a little idea, it involves a Corvette L88 hood scoop and some 327 emblems........and no, it's not going on the hood!:devil:

hahhaaha. Yep. She is outta town this weekend so maybe I won't be such a slacker. Spoke with the engine shop and picked my cam yesterday, it should sound mean. It is the largest cam I can run with a stock torque converter and still have good driveability with a/c. :sexy:

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
 

is the cam similar to a tow truck/rv cam? I cant recall specs...

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
 

Little hotter than an RV cam, it's a 470 lift with a little longer duration than stock.

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
 

Great progress since I checked this one last! The paint looks great! Sorry to hear about bumping the cab:( keep it up!

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
 

Your truck is looking good!

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
 

WOW!

I just found this build thread and you have kicked some major butt getting it to this point!!

Can't wait to get mine that far in my build.

Keep us updated!

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
 

X2...:agree:...Great build!..Keep it up!

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
 

weekends progress?.....

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
 

Got my brake hose connected to the rearend. Got bumpstops mounted on the c-notches, installed the interior door opening stuff, windsheild wiper assembly, and some 1/4 spacers on rearend to get those 22X10s out a little more.

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
 

I don't see pictures....it didn't happen if you don't have pictures...



:lol: j/k glad you're making progress! Looking forward to seeing it all together 100%

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
 

Thanks! The scratch hides well with the bed on, so not as bad as I first thought.

Appreciate the comment!

I gotta go check out your build, thanks for the the comments! I'll get some more pics up when I do something worthy of a pic.

Thanks Bro! Your ride is sweet, me likey!

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
 

Me too!!!! Dude.....that's funny.
