Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
 

Thank you so much for taking the time to go through the thread a see my build! These other guys deleted the cookies and voted for themselves hundreds of times, but they didn't read the fine print.....views and comments make a difference in the final decision!! Thanks for the votes and I hope we see Slick67 in the catalog!!!

Thanks Bro! Hope I get the win! :metal:

You mentioned that your intake is a knock-off, with the Chev PN and the snowflake, etc. Where did it come from?

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
 

I just got completely through your thread up to this point! Again EXCELLENT--the truck, the thread, the inspiration, the pinups;), all of it! You should get a gig in PR, or instruction, or something like that!

This video from Wilcox Corvette about tach restoration tells you how to "zero" a factory tach. If the truck tach is similar to the one in the video, it might help you on the one you 'stole' at Pate. It's an electric vette tach, not a mechanical.

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
 

I found the intake on Craigs here in Houston. The intake is a Chevy OEM intake but was a replacement to the original through the dealerships. It is my understanding they did not make an aluminum intake like this but did offer them aftermarket from dealerships.....I could be mistaken.

Thank You! I really hoped my learning curve would help someone in the future, guess it is! I am gonna watch the vid and see what I can do to get my tach ready for install, I sure appreciate you posting that for me!

Thanks for taking the time to post these, I may be able to mess with it this week. :metal:

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
 

J, you're killin me.....I have been reading thread after thread and now I am wanting to go out to the garage and wake up the neighborhood crankin on my truck. I gotta get this tach in my truck soon!:lol:

Cool.....His and Hers Rides! We would love to have you guys down here, too bad for all of us that the trophies will be going home with you....


Thank you sir! It has been a great year for Slick and myself. This year will be geared more towards driving to the shows than trailering.

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
 

Thank you lolife!! It was a great show, have to say an estimated 8,000 people showed up for LST. This is a do not miss show! Glad it's just a few short miles from me!!

Thanks Blown06!!! Location Location Location!!!! I got the one of the best spots in the show thanks to Jarrod of Adam's Polishes who asked me if I would be his display truck!! Here is a pic of the award.....it is super nice. It has a place for an 8X10 photo to be put in it.
