Re: '77 c10 "charlene" bagged on billets
They really look good! Probably a more economical way to go than AutoMeter. I have been looking for a nice alternative to AM since I have to change my speedo with the LS swap. Would you mind posting a picture of the gauges straight on and what they look like at night too? How do you like them?

Re: '77 c10 "charlene" bagged on billets
what fuel pressure are yall running? my truck turned off while driving, reads roughly up to 4 psi right now and it doesnt stay on. im pretty sure i set it to 6-7. could my filter be clogged? or fuel regulator be clogged? it def aint the timing, has power, and correct volt. itll stay on only if i step on the gas pedal and constantly feed it fuel, but it just wont stay on.
help! |

Re: '77 c10 "charlene" bagged on billets
Different carbs have diff psi requirements. Quadrajets & Carter/AFB style carbs utilize 5psi max while Holleys use slightly higher up to 7psi. Check your supply source for flow issues (in-line filters, fuel pump issues, in-tank sock).

Re: '77 c10 "charlene" bagged on billets
thank you gentlemen..
so now i found out the issue of why the truck wont stay on and idle. the throttle iddler screw backed off from the vibration of the motor. i feel like a stupid bleep. in other news.........i drained my oil breather resivour and ounces of what seams to be fuel, and about a half ounce of the "milky substance" poured out. panic mode is in effect. im guessing the valve covers arent pouring out fuel but, maybe im running too rich and the vapors are collected in the res tank. any imput? |

Re: '77 c10 "charlene" bagged on billets
truck is running super lean, ive parked it and it is now going under theh knife once again.
next objective is to get rid of this camber issue...i know ive put it off but the time has come. upper a arms are gonna b mounted 1.5 inches higher and steering shaft will be relocated. its officially lone star roundup crunch time. i have about a month to do this and a couple other small things like add a radio, fix the carb issue, pin stripe the hood, and paint a logo on the door pannels. ill try to keep yall posted. |

Re: '77 c10 "charlene" bagged on billets
Good looking truck. I saw your buddy's white crew at Turkey Drag with the 24's, it looked sick, but it stayed on the trailer...

Re: '77 c10 "charlene" bagged on billets
I noticed the shell sitting out in the yard while things were getting swapped around. Didn't go down the street last time I was in the neighborhood to see how much progress was made.

Re: '77 c10 "charlene" bagged on billets
I was gonna put these big eared monsters on charlene but after taking a closer look at em, they needed too much work for me, new seals handles vent windows and not to mention it had a little cancer.
Its just im sick of the shaved doors thing, thats for the birds man. But itll have to do for now, so im just gonna keep mine and re shave em, and def put a "dirty hair" shop logo on em i lettered these doors for a customer. Its a '63 ford f-100, this truck was built by the owner of crown customs. Its super legit. |

Re: '77 c10 "charlene" bagged on billets
Finally time to install a raised bed floor. Though i like to look at the frame and porterbuilt pieces....and most of all i enjoyed how easy it was to do maintenance on the rear of the truck due to the big hole i cut in the bed, i need a functional bed to haul stuff. This truck was built to be driven and put to use.
Took a trip to texas square bodies yesterday, and started fitting the bed in late last night |

Day of the dead sticker on the back window that pretty much represents the theme and color scheme of the truck
