We found this truck in field in the desert here in California it was a long bed and 95% rust free so we thought it was definitely worth saving! This shot is after we shortened it.Attachment 1344434

Re: 67c10build
 

We're moving along pretty good now the body works almost done the frames now finished!Attachment 1344437

Re: 67c10build
 

Attachment 1344690body stopped and started the body work!

Re: 67c10build
 

Wow you are moving fast, keep us posted, looks like a nice build.

Re: 67c10build
 

We'll I've lagged a little on this project but we finally got the motor & Trans it's a 6.0 & 4L80e with 34k milesAttachment 1367517

Re: 67c10build
 

Nice score on both, so 4L65E trans.

Re: 67c10build
 

Sorry, getting late didn't expect the 4L80, even better, good for you.

Re: 67c10build
 

We've started painting our truck! We decided on GM Blue tint coat! TheAttachment 1367591 grill shell will be painted a light Tan were still deciding on the shade?

Re: 67c10build
 

Thanks Mud man! It actually was a good score $2500 for the pair!

Re: 67c10build
 

So is the blue tint the finished color, nice price for trans and engine, trans is worth more as a rebuilt alone.

Re: 67c10build
 

Ya that's the finish color it looks really good in person! And your right the 4L80's aren't cheap. I was in the right place right time!

Re: 67c10build
 

This was a final fitment of the 6.0/4L80eAttachment 1374557

Re: 67c10build
 

Attachment 1374563With the weather being a brisk 80 degrees today we figured it's time to paint it!

Re: 67c10build
 

Man that 6.0 L just fits tight to the firewall, looks great and super nice blue, can't wait to see more.

Re: 67c10build
 

Ya the #8 coil pack is close! But I made a slight modification and got a 1.25" clearance. And thanks I'll update the pics!

Re: 67c10build
 

Here's the finished paint on the bed the cab and sheet metal will be done in a couple daysAttachment 1375534

Re: 67c10build
 

Awesome!, carry on!!!

Re: 67c10build
 

Cool build.

My 67 & 68 Attachment 1375651

Re: 67c10build
 

Come on, 2 cool rides, lucky dude. What engine in the 1st a Vortec, just trying to see the engine cover..Nice having a more modern engine.

Re: 67c10build
 

Sorry, I already knew from earlier, was thinking of the 68 not 67.

Re: 67c10build
 

Attachment 1375754Hey Mudman the 68 is posted under 68c10/c6 sorry I don't know how to tag it?

Re: 67c10build
 

Thanks on the 68, so with the 67 going to plate the firewall heater box assy or have heat, how about ac, something we don't consider much up here with like 2 weeks to actually use it but must be a staple in your heat wave state.

Re: 67c10build
 

I'm going to install a Vintage air I have it I'll put it in when I pull the cab for paint! The temp here in San Diego averages 75 but Aug & Sept can get hot.

Re: 67c10build
 

Ya the only way we get hot is go on a holiday, but don't stay to long or hotrod parts fund will shrink.:lol:

Re: 67c10build
 

I agree these trucks can consume you! And parts aren't cheap? I'll admit living here is like living on Vacation.

Getting ready to die the bed wood then spray the clear!Attachment 1378622

Re: 67c10build
 

Funny I have never been big on blue...but yours just kicks me, just love it.

Re: 67c10build
 

Thanks Mud man the funny thing is if you saw the color on the car it came on ( 2008 HHR) you'd scratch your head? But fortunately I had a customer with foresight! We did tweak it a little.

Re: 67c10build
 

Well the color with it's tweak worked perfect, so is there some pearl in the paint, just shines so nice.

Re: 67c10build
 

You can see the blue Pearl? We put just a tad my painter is awesome at tweaking colors to make people question what we did?

Re: 67c10build
 

I have 2 good friends that paint cars and another that airbrushes cars, helmets, and whatever you bring him, so have seen a few tricks, all I know is it is cool.

Re: 67c10build
 

Killer looking project. Love the beautiful new paint with the trim. Looks great!

Re: 67c10build
 

Nice paint.

Re: 67c10build
 

Thanks guys! Hopefully this thing will be done soon?

Re: 67c10build
 

I love the paint and the bed!!

Re: 67c10build
 

Wow, love that color!

Re: 67c10build
 

Attachment 1380080I got to tell you guys I built this 66 K15 for a guy in Virginia and he actually picked out the color and after we sprayed it I had to have it!

Re: 67c10build
 

Totally agree..that blue really pops on the truck

Re: 67c10build
 

We painted the grill shell and I had to see it with the trim on!Attachment 1380705
