The rad cover looks great!! One more thing I will have to add to my to-do list...LOL

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
 

man you truck looks great!!!!!! makes me jealous, LOL my truck is in MANY pieces. I have a long bed as well. A stepside long bed. i got lucky when i found it. IN 1968 chevy buiilt 319,xxx C-10 trucks. 204,xxx long bed fleetside, 93,000 shortbed fleet and step side trucks and only 18,000 long bed stepside trucks that is 5.8% of total built. I cant wait tol finish this rebuild. I keep geting much unasked advice. I have a 250 CID 6 as the original engine with 3 speed column shift trans. sincde it is all nos. matching, one will say keep it matching, next guy says no!!!, go 350 and R400 automatic!!!!
i think i will rebuild the 250 CID 6 but what do you think???

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
 

I appreciate that. Prices going up is great for me and it's good to know that my truck changed at least one persons mind about long beds!

Can't wait to get it done, anticipation is killin me.

Outback started stocking them so it was close to home and I didn't have to wait on the brown truck!!

My advice is build it to make yourself happy! Sometimes the best advice is no advice. Once you start really diggin in to this truck you may change things as you go along. Get a plan together now before you start putting big money into it. Just make sure that you have a build thread going on so we can all enjoy your pain!! hahha I would like to say, think about how this truck is going to be used. Highway miles are alot easier with overdrive and that is one thing to really take into consideration.

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
 

So...remember these from a while back? I picked them up from the shop and decided to start playin with them. Stay tuned!

Cool!! Thanks for following along....and keeping up! The wheels need to see some sunshine, they have been locked away for a long time. Glad you found time to write a couple of lines on here, it's always good to have new peeps checkin out progress!:metal:

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
 

Here we go, sure I'll get a few comments on this. I painted the rallys to match my interior and will run them occasionally, but not all the time. I didn't paint all of them yet so the tire man can determined if he can get a tire on it without damaging the paint too bad.

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
 

I was always a big fan of rallys but then all those shiny custom wheels came along and they got pushed to the back of the garage. I'm looking forward to seeing how they look once you get them mounted. They do say "everything old is new again" whoever THEY are.
Hopefully your tire guy can pull it off with minimal damage.

They look really good on the truck, but painted to match with some wide tires on the back they should look great. And I agree....make something new again! Sure the truck will ride a little better too.

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
 

Dude!! I have a goooood feeling about those :ito:

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
 

Clean look to them. Very nice.

:c2::thumbs::DThey get a big thumbs up from me!!!

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
 

They look good that color and should look really nice on the truck.

Great choice on the short 67 Camaro disc brake center caps.

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
 

Hehe, me too!

It will change the whole look of the truck, but is that a bad thing?

Sweet! Can't wait to get some tires on em!

They match the interior really well. I bought everything on Craigslist for I think $250 so I just got lucky with those centers being the correct year!

Trying to keep up with Mike (67cheby) I finally got my SS Strips in for the bed and can't wait to lay some wood......:lol:

:agree: going to be nice!!!

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
 

It absolutely needs something in the bed, it just isn't up to snuff with the rest of the truck. I'll be watching do your's and hope I can pick up some good advise along the way!

I really hope it turns out like what I have in my mind. Still have yet to determine how to cap the end by the tailgate, but I'll think of something. Any ideas from the peanut gallery would be appreciated!

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
 

man david you are taking over the houston area crew :lol: that will look really nice man

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
 

Hahaha....I don't know about that, but it is fun being apart of it all!! Can't wait for the next big show so we can kick back and enjoy a few cold ones!:metal:

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
 

I'VE GOT WOOD!!!!! 77chris went and picked up the wood we ordered today, thanks Chris! I was wanting a light wood, but white oak has a nice grain and is sturdy. I will polyeurethane it and buff it out to give it a nice shine. It looks like it will work with my paint, what do ya'll think??
