Yes sir i agree 100%... somebody has to RAZ ya!!!!

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
 

I dunno, never been to that one. The pics were good from the 2009 show, may have to do that.

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
 

tex mex was my target date to at least have it running and presentable but i might be pressing for time for march. ive never been but it seems they always have some nice rides from looking through the magazines. ive been to the lake but never to the show. should be fun

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
 

3/18/10 is not very far away, don't know if that one is gonna happen for me. Should have my motor in and it may even be running, but I don't know if it is going to be driveable. Suppose I could trailer it!!!

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
 

you better get busy!

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
 

Dooohhh. That's what it will take to get this thing done by then!:lol:

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
 

then get to it! should at least check out the show even if you dont take it. it should give you motivation to get back home and finish it!

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
 

I may do that. Gotta go talk to a guy who traded me a tilt for some stuff, it was a van tilt not a truck tilt as promised. Errrrrrrr. He will make it good, I hope!!!

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
 

just wear your halloween costume when you go back to see him regarding the tilt....... :lol:

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
 

I will have my pimp hand raised and ready for a pimp slap. He will be scared............very scared. :lol:

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
 

Here is my latest thought, brainfart, whatever. It's a Corvette L-88 hood scoop, painted the color of my truck with 69 Camaro 327 badges on it. Whadaya think?!?!?!? Oh yeah, got some old school peep mirrors and chrome defroster vents for it too.

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
 

nice color!

Heck it almost looks like the same Orange I am going to use.

That hood scoop thing?

Very odd looking for these trucks.
IMO

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
 

are you talking about using it for a hood scoop or a breathe/engine cover?? i think it would look sweet as a breather

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
 

love the invisible engine!

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
 

^^^ lol...i like the idea of using the scoop for a breather, but i would just paint it and leave the emblems off. would look super clean!

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
 

It is PPG Oh So Orange with Ghost Blue Pearl in the clearcoat. Thanks for the input!

It will be used as a breather, thanks for the insight!

When I saw your invisible cowl, I had to get something to be like you!!!:lol:

Thanks Kevin! I liked it too, but I went ahead and did the emblems from a 69 Camaro, that's how I am paying homage to my favorite car. Posting some pics now.

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
 

I have taped off approximately where I will cut it down to fit the engine so I do not cover too much. I would like the valve covers to show and have clearance for the oil filler tube. Orela, here it is.

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
 

Looking good! U resolve the tilt issue w/o the slappage? :lol:

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
 

HAHHAAHa I think I did get it resolved. The guy I got it from said he would make it right regardless. Here is the twist.......the man that will be doing the conversion from van to truck column will not be available for a while cause his son had broken down on the side of the road and someone drove by and shot him in the spine and now he is paralyzed. It may be another month before he is back to work. Said a prayer for him already!

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
 

Looking good bro, I like the vette scoop idea, something a little different!..:metal:

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
 

WOW... that is messed up

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
 

Thanks! A little throwback to the classic Chevy's. Hope it looks good when I pop the hood at shows.

No doubt, people have lost their minds these days.

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
 

Got a few things done today, got a couple of pics to prove it! Will take some pics of the other things accomplished tomorrow. Hope to get the compressors installed and all the lenses on the lights this weekend. Might be able to start cutting the hole in the bed for the gas filler neck.
Got my turn signal light buckets painted.

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
 

Looking good! Now I gotta get back on mine and take some pictures....

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
 

that looks nice man. how did you mount the tank? straight to the frame or with a bracket?

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
 

A bracket. I cut a peice of steel the width of the frame and bolted it directly to the frame, I'll get some pics for ya. It's about 4 X 35, it worked perfectly. Seemed a little to flimsy at first till it was bolted on and the tank was bolted to it that really made it rigid.

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
 

looking good bro!

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
 

Thanks Kev and Heath! Here is today's pics. Got a couple of pics of my air tank bracket for you Kev. I got the compressors hung on the frame. Also installed the AC vent and ball. The biggest part of my day was taking the DS rear bag out, removing the c-notch, cutting a little more of my frame to clear the c-notch better then reinstalling everthing. Sounds simple, but that meant taking the bed off again also. One side of my bed was a little lower which made my passenger side tire tuck more than the drivers side and the c-notch was the problem, thats all I really got accomplished today. 3 and half hours just to do that. S%#t.

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
 

Hey, it's those details that make it right. Good job not leaving it that way. How did you mount the compressors? I am planning to mount them similarly but looking for a clean mounting idea other than the brackets they sell....

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
 

looks good man! what tank is that?

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
 

I think it is a Suicide Doors from about 3 years ago, but not sure.

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
 

Coming out sweet!...It has probably been said before, but that orange paint job looks killer...;)

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
 

oops..I meant the gas tank!

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
 

did I miss the comp mounting somewhere else before or did you just do those?

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
 

Thanks Bro! I could not be happier with the color it does look awesome!

It's a Summit 16 gallon gas tank, they run about $160 with the sending unit. I have the part number for it a few pages back in my thread.

Just posted those pics, I installed them yesterday. So you didn't miss out on anything. I may be doing the wiring on them next weekend along with cutting the hole in my bed for the gas filler neck, so more pics then!

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
 

they look good...so how did you mount them? Did you just move the VIAR supplied brackets to the side or make brackets?
