Yep, 200,000.......boredom has reared it's ugly head!!!! I really hope this thing works properly, if not I will have a great platform for a nice aftermarket conversion.

Great find on the Tach cluster. That is about how mine started out when I got it. A little help from VA72c10 and it looks like new again.

Dave i got a harness from one of the guys in this site , he cut me a good deal to . thanks for looking for me a the swap meet

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
 

I thought so too! Hope that it works with no issues.

:metal: Trying to roll like you......."The View King"!!!!!:lol:

Thanks. Yeah, he is the wizard of all that is Chevy!!!

I looked and no luck. Thought I would have better luck on the OE bushings but to no avail the best I could do was aftermarket. E for Effort???:uhmk:

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
 

Thanks for the huge compliment but I'm still learning.....a lot! :D

Wish I knew 1/4 of what a lot of the guys on here know or had 1/10 of their skills :D

And yes...80 is a SCORE! Even if it doesn't work you could part out the pieces for more than that.

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
 

That is why we all love ya VA!!!! Modest and smart!!! :lol: Thanks for all the great advice over the years bro, you really are one of the greats on the forum!!!:metal:

Here are the other small parts I got while at the Pate Swap Meet. Got some billet wiper stem bullets and a chrome oil tube with pcv oil filler cap. Can't resist the chrome........kinda like a fish to a lure, cause it's shiney!!!!!:lol:

just sayin

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
 

I saw that on your thread. That is for the cable style throttle linkage right? Sure is purdy!

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
 

yes it is for the cable, i wasnt thinking about yours not being switched over ! Thank you !

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
 

I may switch it one day, I do not even have a tv cable on it. I suppose the old school linkage is alright for now, eventually it will get upgraded. But I must say, that is a trendy lookin pedal ya got there!!! Me Likey!

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
 

Here is a question that has haunted me throughout my thread and I never gave a straight answer. What is my tire size on the truck?? Well here it is in all it's rubber band glory. Rims are 20X8.5 front and 22X10 on the rear. The front tire is 225/35ZR20 90W and the back is 255/30ZR22 95W. I have a 71 rearend in it with a 1/4 spacer. 5.5 inch on the BS if I am not mistaken.

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
 

Moving forward, what can I do to keep from cratering another carrier bearing? The first one actually ripped apart when I put my foot down on the gas pedal a little hard. I thought maybe I could tack weld along the top edges where the other one ripped apart but that still does not seem to be very bulletproof. These are a PITA to put in. Any good ideas or possible aftermarket stuff out there?

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
 

there are some really nice aftermarket carrier bearings out there....but they are $$$...

you can flip the carrier bearing mount upside down and it will put it at a better angle and help it not to go through so much wear/tear....
(I learned that one on here and did it on my bagged 70 although I never got a chance to drive it....)

...but that involves removing rivets and bolting or welding it on....

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
 

I think that I saw that somewhere on here, guess my search is on. Also will be checkin into the aftermarket scene. If it costs $150-$200 it would be worth it to avoid laying under my truck for four hours! :lol: Thanks VA, as usual you are the first line of defense before we make stupid, uneducated decisions!!!!!

hahaha I'll be outta the "cave" for over 3 months!!
