1968 C-10 Build***New Pics Added***
Another Build Thread. I am not really new to the site, but I could never post or see any pics on here. I was truly hurtin' to see some of ya'lls stuff. Anyhow, I finally read about being a "Supporter", and that did the trick, so here is my Ole Truck. You can see the progress on my Cardomain site it is in my sig. Please take a look and offer any suggestions. I am mainly looking for drop recommendations and wheel ideas. Please chime in.....

Re: 1968 C-10 Build
looks great so far! I'd do a 4/6 drop and 20" wheels and that thing will be looking killer!

Re: 1968 C-10 Build
Very nice!
I wish I could have had more than a few minutes from the time I pulled the old motor out and put my new motor in. I pulled it on Saturday and had to drive my truck to work on Monday.

Welcome to the board from South Mississippi! You shouldn't have had to become a supporter to post or view pics, very strange.

Re: 1968 C-10 Build
OK Fellas, Its been a while. But we moved and the truck had to take a back seat to the settling in thing and all the honey do's at the new (to us) place. I will post some pics of the progress, and I am ALMOST ready to crank. ALMOST seems to be the family joke with the truck. So here we go.

Re: 1968 C-10 Build
A few more... A little bit of elbow grease in the cab and my baby will be back in action. I am excited. I will be working on it for the next three days, so I'll be posting up some more pics. I will pull it out to the driveway and get some full shots of the truck and clean it up, and hopefully get it cranked, if not fully driveable.....

Re: 1968 C-10 Build
That's a lot of switches there on the dash. What is all those for?

Re: 1968 C-10 Build
LOL, yes there is, and I just figured them all out. The first one is for the headlights, the second one is for the lights on the dash and gauges, the third one is for the windshield wipers, (which I would like to make the wiper switch on the column functional), the middle button looks like it might be for a starter switch or something, but I don't use it. the fourth one is for the electric fuel pump, and the last two will be used for the nitrous system. Yes, it is a whole lot of switches. The truck came that way when I first got it, whoever had it before me had an infatuation with switches I guess.

Re: 1968 C-10 Build
Well I've gotten a little further. I didn't post pics this time because it seems like the pics I have been taking all look the same except for very minor things, so I'll save you from the boredom. But here's a list of what I got accomplished the past few days.
Mounted Radiator installed upper and lower radiator hoses the belts the fan clutch and fan all vacuum lines (PCV, Brake Booster, Transmission modulator, Vacuum Advance) Wired up electric fuel pump Found TDC and stabbed the Dizzy Spark Plugs and Wires Cleaned out the fuel cell (had a little bit of nasty gas in it) Found out what all the switches were to Charged the battery (we have juice now) Had driveshaft built Things left to do: Install the shifter put on hood Tidy up some under dash wires Mount up the mufflers (temporary Flow's 3 1/2 out the headers reduced to 2 1/2, don't laugh, I had to use something to drive it to the muffler shop. Going 3" with (looking for suggestions) out the back Crank then put back on the grill and headlights Hopefully I'll have it running next week. I am off next week, so looking forward to getting it on the road. I will keep you updated.... |

Re: 1968 C-10 Build
This switch thing is gettin' funnier and funnier.....I love the ,"switches are cool, when you got like 3!" hahahaha!!! Now I am really gonna have to make use of the other two and hook up the NOS to those, I was thinking one for the solenoids and the other for the bottle blanket. At least they will all have a function......LOL!!
