I've run a few of them Edelbrocks and have one now on the Crummy. I like them and hate them. I have the strip-kits plus a bunch of other jets/rods/springs that don't come in the kits. I've spent hours/days fooling around with the calibration but still it seems that one day it's fat, another it's gaggin.... For ANY bumpy or hilly situations I hate them. Never tried the spring loaded float valves tho. For the Crummy, I'm going to freshen up another Q-jet. That's just hard to beat for a driver. Not sure what I'll do on the C10 yet.

It's a long way from done I've been traveling a lot and am going to bring the truck to the house to continue to work on it. With the new booth at the body shop, when I open the doors to get tools it drops the temp too low. I need to get the shop truck out of the garage first so it'll be a couple weeks then things will start up again

Definitely glad I wasn't waiting on the products....if I were I would recommend going through a vendor here who has the products in stock.

I will get pictures when I get back in town and get caught up....have been traveling a lot recently. Got a new job that's had me training in AL and now DE.

Long time with no updates (or work) here. I have been on the road a LOT recently and just haven't had time to work on the truck. I do have a really cool update though!!!

Found some AWESOME wheels for this truck! The owner bought them and they were shipped to me this week.
(From the ad)
A brand new set of Raceline Deceptives. They are 22x8.5 and 22x10
Still in box. Also have 4 brand new tires never mounted.
Two Nitto 265/35/22 and two 285/35/22

Pics to follow!

Have you decided to keep the truck or are you still selling it, I only ask because you keep buying shiny stuff for it

I agree...going to take it to another level!

This one never was mine...it's forum member Jastos truck. I'm building it to his request with input on what I think will work. I found the wheels and asked if he liked them as much as I did and he pulled the trigger and purchased them.
I was building the 67stepside truck (proj #2 in my links) for myself as a shop truck but that one is now going to be sold to purchase a vehicle for my wife.

Thanks!
I hope so. I am also going to be getting some help on completing it possibly from board member Tinkermc who does body work. I have someone very interested in my 67 truck and hope to finish that up soon.

[Rusbuilt]

Sweet man, I hope it works out for you!

Thanks, my biggest concern is it working out for Jastos. This project never was going to be a big money maker for me...it was to get me into the business and have something to show future clients. But with my new job I won't be able to do a truck business for the forseeable future (maybe a retirement hobby). In fact, I will most likely lose money on this project as I am going to need to pay others to help me complete it. But my priority is getting it done well and as soon as I can so he can start enjoying it.

Looking forward to the outcome...

[VA72C10]

Okay...after a long time there will be some great progress soon! I purchased a project off of Ebay that will help move forward this truck BIG time! It's got a shaved firewall already which was planned for this truck (still have to install the "mirror" piece to match the other side) It's also had the drip rails shaved, cab mounts, corners, and rockers replaced, and has New doors already fitted to the cab at a body shop. It also comes with new short bedsides and all the parts for a wood bed including a tailgate. It's got the wrong front end but it's all new so I'll sell that to purchase other parts and recoup a portion of the investment.

Awesome! You know we're gonna wanna see some pics! lol
