[68 c10 gold/ivory]

sure no prob we got the rear patch panels in it last week end but i got new fenders and a ton of parts for it but here is a pic of under the hood of the truck

Im starting to think 68 is my year lol

[splehigh]

Wow! Nice collection. Best of everything.

My dad has a 68 Malibu and 68 post. Both need restored. Hopefully they will be mine someday.

[68 c10 gold/ivory]

heres my first car a 67 chevelle 300 2 door post
i restored it in high school

[68 c10 gold/ivory]

the 68 nova that used to run against some of the big guys around here
its so awesome cause its so nostalgic down to the cool can cal custom wheels and valve covers

[red69ss]

hey man , great work on the truck it sounds great ! I also love all the other chevys especially the chevelle, and I got a kick out of the bare foot on the gas pedal.

[68 c10 gold/ivory]

lol i guess im not a big fan of shoes
I love that little gold truck its my daily driver but the real kick is that motor is just a 305 lol
I am waiting on getting some other projects done then fix my truck
but nothing beats these old trucks

[68 c10 gold/ivory]

so im wondering if anyone happens to know where to get the material for the factory 50th ann. truck seats or if i should just do the white with saddle hounds. seat cover

also i just rebuilt my 67 corvette 327 300 hp with comp 292 cam and 041 heads motor to put in it and remove the built up 305
and yes that motor is a 305 with a ton of work haha and so much fun

and also this weekend im installing the 4 in rear lowering springs and prob cutting a coil off the front 3in drop springs and the adjustable track bar

[68 c10 gold/ivory]

o yeah and we got a bit farther on the 68 chevelle including tear down and pulling the 396

we put the rear patch panels in behind the rear tires
and hung the front sheet metal which fits great

just got to decide which motor to put in a black 68 ss chevelle with red ss stripes and redline tires

a 69 396 bbc 350 hp with 702bbc heads and big cam and single plane intake
the one in the pics just detailed to chevy orange

or 65 dated 396 bored to a 408 with gm snowflake heads that are closed port with the correct 163 rect port intake and a huge 638 631lift 270 276 @.50 cam 108 lsa
with it dressed up like a factory motor and a 4500 stall with a 3.31 posi rear?

idk whats everyone opinion?

[splehigh]

I think the 65 dressed like a factory motor would be cool. What wheels are you going with?

[68 c10 gold/ivory]

15x8 rallies with 235/70/15 coker redlines and 3in bands with the small non disc brake centers just something a bit different

does anyone know if i can run the 638 lift cam with roller rockers under the stock valve covers? i heard i can if they don't have the drippers

[68 c10 gold/ivory]

ok heres the truck with a 3/3 drop its soooo awesome
now hopefully soon ill have the 327 will be down in it

just gotta get a pic of how it sets now

and i got some done to the chevelle
gonna need and outer wheel house and trunk drop off
but the new sheetmetal looks nice

[68 c10 gold/ivory]

pics of the truck with the springs and the rear end cleaned up
too bad its about time to change the motor cause that 305 just isnt cutting it anymore

[68 c10 gold/ivory]

and some more pics of the chevelle :/
now Im gonna need some more parts

and ive decided to go with the 408 bbc and run the rect port gm snowflake heads
and i finally fired it up and it about sounds like my 68 chevy 2 drag car
with the correct 163 snowflake intake

and how does everyone like the black paint?

o yeah and I ordered some plug wires, valve cover gaskets and plugs for the 68 chevy 2 just gotta go get a few gallons of good gas and run it for a while

[68 c10 gold/ivory]

so im thinking on doing the 5 lug swap on my 68 c10 50th anniversary

and running the polished 338 wheels fat on all corners cause Im going for a very hot rod kinda granda truck and leaving the hood letters off too keep it clean what does everyone think a nice gold and white truck with polished 338s?

and it kinda lowered

[68 c10 gold/ivory]

Ok so new question should i run coys in the polished finish for 700 shipped or buy another set of grey boss 338s for 640 shipped? Im not really sure and what tire and wheel size im really going for the hot rod look low and mean but not over kill what do you think?

[68 c10 gold/ivory]

o yeah heres a video of my vintage drag car my 68 chevy 2 with copo 427 and im guessing l88 or zl1 cam that car is bad!!!!!!
4 bolt main correct 291 heads and 163 intake
its got a 69 camaro or chevelle 427
has m-22 and 12 bolt and home made slapper bars
