Re: Project: Turbo 250
Adam, what wheels and tires are you running? They look like later model steelies, I would have thought they would have tucked right in there.

Re: Project: Turbo 250
The fronts wheels are off of a 71 C10 I also switched to McGaughy drop spindles and a front wheel disc for a 71-72 which push the wheels out a little. The tires are a 225/75R15 which are what the original owner put on the '67 wheels 6 months before I bought it

Re: Project: Turbo 250
Well, here is what I have to show for sat. afternoon and sun afternoon. I finished installing the entire vintage air system, except for a few wires which will be dealt with next weekend when my buddy Josh comes to wire the entire truck. And I got the front wheel tubs stripped and repainted. I was going to paint them to match the exterior paint but I actually think for now I like the black better, tones the engine bay down a little. I can always paint a set of slosh tubz to match the exterior when I have a little more cash down the road.
I also got the front shocks installed, I just need to find my glove box door latch now so I dont have to hold it up. ![]()

Re: Project: Turbo 250
Killer gauge cluster and yes all that gourgeous blue next to that sweet motor would make accidents of passerby's falling into your engine bay at shows when staring too long

Re: Project: Turbo 250
Adam- you'd be proud. I'm waiting for my Porterbuilt suspension components, twin viair 444 compressors, and a/c system to arrive as we speak. I also spent about 45 mins on the phone today with Tom Lowe, getting things together and making decisions about how to best configure my TURBO! I feel a little wired after spending so much money this week, so I stopped by your build to see what was going on. Your truck is looking great! I really like the way the black tubs break up the engine compartment. I am encouraged by your progress. I plan to start pulling my engine Tuesday after work. I can't wait to watch your build come to a head!!

Re: Project: Turbo 250
talking about parts orders, I've been going over my list double checking and I just know I will forget something.lol plus I dont have the moolah to get everything I need on one order, so I have to prioritize. also went by my engine builders yesterday, and showed him your build thread from page one to current. He was blown away by your engine ! and the rest of your progress.

Re: Project: Turbo 250
I used Keystone's spray on liner, and I absolutely HATE the stuff, and regret spraying it on due to the poor quality of the liner. I used this stuff (link below) on the inside and absolutely LOVE it, super high quality and at the same price. And the customer support is top notch! Both from the manufacturer and this retailer. I know a few other people who use this on their 4x4's and have had better luck with this standing up to the off road abuse better than line-x. I used two gallons on the inside of the cab for the desired thickness, but on the exterior for the bottom I would recommend 1 gallon, and you can order any color just use single stage urethane paint of your paint code instead of their color, and use 16oz instead of their 8oz of color pigment to tint to your desired color. I would also recommend buying the special spray gun/ hopper for it.
