Re: C10Slim's 66 Build Thread
Well it's been a while but finally got through the Holidays and back to work on the truck. Power steering, brake lines, fuel tank and new drums in the rear. Ready for the motor and tranny now.

Re: C10Slim's 66 Build Thread
Well the project is back on track! If you hadn't heard my body turned out to be garbage after it came back from the blasters which turned out to be a blessing in disguise. As I bought a complete body worked and painted roller off of eBay. Well it showed up today and I am super pumped. A Blueprint 383 and a th350 are on the way from Jegs. Then I will be able to marry up this body and my frame and start working all of the details.

Re: C10Slim's 66 Build Thread
Well it took me the better part of a day and I feel like I was hit by a bus, but I finally got the Beast and the Monster 700r4 in the truck!

Re: C10Slim's 66 Build Thread
Finally found the perfect header!! After trying 2 different sets I was about to order my 3rd to try when my latest issue of Custom Classic Trucks arrived... To my surprise they were doing a tech article, putting an exhaust in the "Get Shorty" project. They used a set of Doug's Tri-Y headers and claimed they fit great. I said what they hell I might as well give them a try...
These headers fit almost perfect! Just a little trimming on the pass side rail and they dropped right in. Even better they are true longtubes and don’t hang below the rails but a fraction of an inch. They are a bit pricey at $605 but well worth it for their fit, coating and longtube design. They are Dougs D375Y. Man what a relief to finally have these in and move on to the next part of the build! |

Re: C10Slim's 66 Build Thread
Did you move the new motor mounts up one hole and drill a new hole for the foward bolt? If so how do you like the fit for the dizzy clearance. Also with the 700r will the drive shaft have to be re-sized in lenght with the motor mounts moved fwd? Love your build and looking good you will be on the road in no time...
