[69C-owner]

Yes and it will stay that way :-)

[67chevy1series]

cool! gotta love a trimmed truck i love my 67 with the trim i was going to build it w/ot the trim but decided not to

[67chevy1series]

thought i would give you some inspiration

[69C-owner]

thanks for the inspiration, well with it being a v8 truck and i highly doubt someone ripped out a BB and put in the pontiac along with 350 tagged fenders id say shes a factory 350 truck and shes a factory white and brown 2tone

[69C-owner]

the colors i know for a fact lol

[69C-owner]

imagine the rs stripe being two seperate stripes, both come up the fender to the center of the hood and turn into ss stripes.....thats my vision
I kinda like that wheel but im still not a 100% on what i want, is that a 338, ive seen 338 on a few trucks and like them.....lol still not sure on my wheel selection

[69C-owner]

pushin it back to the top, I need opinions guys

[69C-owner]

Ok i looked at a wiring diagram and found that the black wire is a ground

[69C-owner]

should i ground it on the alternator or on a boby panel?

[67chevy1series]

i say do it !!!!!! i like the rims those would look great!!!!!

[69C-owner]

Is 67Chevy1Series the only one following this build????

[69C-owner]

Almost for got the 17x7 has a 4.25 inch backspace the 17x8 has a 4.5 inch backspace and the 17x9.5 has a 5.5 inch backspace, how does all of this affect me?

[69C-owner]

its gonna be a resto-mod, woodgrain gauge cluster steering wheel and pistol grip shifter, speedo on the left clock in the middle and fuel gauge on the right, left to right on the bottom gos Ammeter oil pressure water pressure and fuel pressure, ill have one of those dashpads with the triple gaugepod molded into it and the gauges from left to right will be tach water temp oil temp, idk wat ill put on the apillar but itll b loaded down with gauges, im gonna get buckets and a console out of a blazer, speakers in the kick panels a 6x9 in the dash a speaker headliner from LMC and 10 inch square kicker low profile subs under both seats, idk wat kind of amp yet, it has a pontiac engine, its either a 350 or a 400, ill know wen i pull it, id rather it b a 350 cuz they r not very common and they r cheaper to build, i like being different and i know i can build a strong powerful engine with that pontiac no matter the displacement, for the trans i wanna get a 6 speed out of a wrecked 90's camaro or firebird and a gear vendors overdrive thats like drivin a 12 speed gonna keep a 2 piece driveshaft with the carrier bearing but a new lighter a stronger set of shafts, im gonna have electric cutouts right after the header on each side then a glasspack and another cutout and straight 3 in pipe out the rear, a dark blue darker than midnight blue almost a black with white SS strips that start on the tailgate and start again on the back of the cab go over the roof down to the middle of the hood and go down the fenders into a pair of RS stripes like on the old camaros that had a single stright runnin across the hood and down on each fender, cowl hood, I have alot more ideas but that all i can unload right now lol

[67chevy1series]
