Was wanting to ask on the steering gear box and you grinding on the frame. I no there a diff in the frames but im unclear what the diff is. oldno7

Re: 67c10 build
 

At least yours is clean. Everything's looks great... truck and garage! I understand completely on wanting more space. I used to have a nice big shop, but it went when I sold the house. Someday I will have another, but for now I'm stuck with a 2 car garage.. better than nothing! Keep the progress going!

Re: 67c10 build
 

As far as I know 67s only came with manual boxes so a power steering box doesn't sit right on the frame. 68-72 frames have a indentation there so the box fits properly. I just tried to copy that on my 67 frame

Thanks! As soon as the truck is done and the old lady is finished with school it'll be new house hunting time. I'll build as big of a shop as I can afford then

Re: 67c10 build
 

Very nice build! We are moving along very similar paths, just a few differences. I really like the blue poly paint color! I'm subscribed...

Re: 67c10 build
 

build thread is awesome and making some excellent progress. liking every bit of it.

Re: 67c10 build

Re: 67c10 build
 

Very nice truck, love the engine

Re: 67c10 build
 

Like the build. Hoping you are still making head way on it. Good luck.

Re: 67c10 build
 

I know your working on this, we need some updates :lol:

Re: 67c10 build
 

Ok ok so it's no secret I've been neglecting my thread. I had to go back to see where I left off and a lot has changed. If anyone could tell me how to upload multiple pics through iPad/iPhone this would be a lot easier. Hope you guys like what I've done

Re: 67c10 build
 

Looks like a lot my pics are on my old phone so I kind of have to jump around. After putting my truck together I was not happy with the height of my drop. I figured the only way I would be happy is if I went with air bags.

I started with cups and plates, aired out it had the perfect stance but at ride height it was still too high. I decided to go with a set of cpp tubular control arms to lose that 2" cup and in the end get a lower ride height.

For air management I went with accuair switchspeed with dual compressors. I made up some flat plate and got all my stuff mounted out back.

Re: 67c10 build
 

Rough mock up of how I will have everything. Pretty rare around here but I will be sticking with the old school in cab tank so this was a perfect space

Re: 67c10 build
 

The gf got me some good bday presents, this rear bumper was one of them. Also rear bumper brackets, bolt kit and rear cross sill. Helps when they help support our addiction

Re: 67c10 build
 

Can't wait till it can roll out of the garage under its own power... One day...

Re: 67c10 build
 

Everything looks amazing so far. Just subscribed to keep up with the rest of the build.

Re: 67c10 build
 

That's what I'm talking about, frame looks awesome :metal:

Re: 67c10 build
 

I also switched from v belt to the mid mount billet specialties serpentine. I was having too many problems trying to get alt/ps setup to work together. If anyone is consider this kit I'd rate it a 10/10 it seriously mounts in 5 minutes and is very well laid out. Very pleased with all my billet specialties products

Re: 67c10 build
 

Thanks guys hope your not getting bored of pictures

Re: 67c10 build
 

I've also been working on some of the small this on the truck. I guess you can say "restoring" I took my cluster apart, re painted everything and put it back together with a new lense, bulbs, circuit and bezel. All from counterpart and very happy with fit and finish. I sent my tach to redline gauge because the face was rusty. They re silk screened the face. I also added a vacuum and 80lb oil pressure gauge I picked up from another member.

Re: 67c10 build
 

I know the purists will roll there eyes but I cut up another cluster to make my other one accept a vacuum gauge. You would never guess by looking at it and I saved a few bucks I can use else where. I also found on YouTube how to roll the speedo back. Being a 50 year old truck and it's going through a few restore I figure it will be ok

Re: 67c10 build
 

Man the trucks just a frame and I'm already in love with it lol keep up the good work!

Re: 67c10 build
 

Man! Love this truck!!

Re: 67c10 build
 

Thanks guys. I also blasted and repainted the inner box closest to what I thought looked stock

Re: 67c10 build
 

Last thing I did is the pedal assemblies. Very happy with fit and finish of the pads and trim rings. I think both counterpart, nice stuff

Re: 67c10 build
 

Started rust repair on the cab. Got a 3k quote for metal work so figured it was my time to learn. Passenger side needed inner rocker, kickpanel, cab corner, lower jambs front and rear and outer rocker

Re: 67c10 build
 

Wasn't as scary as people made it out to be. Majority of the time is just fitting and shaping it with tons of tacks to get panel alignment right on

Re: 67c10 build
 

The lower jamb piece I thought turned out great. I had a few hours fitting it but welded it up and hit it with some 36 grit pads and it cleaned up nice

Re: 67c10 build
 

Hung the door and fender before welding the rocker in cab corner. I'm happy with fit and finish of it all.

Re: 67c10 build
 

Much better then it was with all gm metal

Re: 67c10 build
 

Did you have any problem with the ECE Panhard Bar clearing the Billet Diff cover?...

Re: 67c10 build
 

WOW Those Headers are AWESOME!!!!
