I finally got the cab from my donor truck put in place so I can begin my exhaust install. These are just some cell phone pics. I am taking my wheels to the powder coater this week as well as my core support. I am shooting for the exhaust to be finished by the end of April if all goes well. After the exhaust I need to finish my brake lines and run my fuel lines. Here is the pics.

jgrisafi · 03-29-2009, 01:46 PM

All I can say is awesome job. I cant wait to get back from the Middle East and turn some wrenches on my 69'. Keep up the good work and best of luck to you.

cable666guy · 03-29-2009, 03:07 PM

Nice work! Congrats on the deals you're finding! I love how your frame turned out.

GMBowtie79 · 03-29-2009, 11:05 PM

lookin good!

PipsC10 · 03-30-2009, 01:40 PM

thanks for the compliments guys, things are starting to come together and its looking like a truck again. Still a long road ahead

STOCKISH · 04-02-2009, 10:07 PM

Truck is looking great. Thanks for the deal on the tilt from the parts truck. It will look great in my 72 Super.

Cody chance · 04-15-2009, 06:48 PM

i would love to see some more pics of your truck. i have the same air ride setup im getting ready to put on. i would like to see what the trucks stance looks like with cab and bed on it

MisterE72 · 04-15-2009, 07:31 PM

Hey there PipsC10,
The truck is moving along nicely. I was on craigslist today and saw this: http://sacramento.craigslist.org/pts/1124033100.html .I thought it might be what you were looking for. I checked no limits website but could not find a price without the gauges. Can't wait to see the truck with paint and wheels.

nuke1 · 05-06-2009, 09:58 PM

nice looking gauges you have there

SCOTI · 05-06-2009, 11:35 PM

Could I ask a favor of you?

If you ever get the chance, I'm curious of the measurement from the bottom of the frame rail @ the C/L of each cab mount (F & R) to the ground air'd out w/the ART set-ups. I know heights will vary depending on overall rolling-stock diameter so the current wheel/tire size if possible too.

If it's an inconvenience, don't worry about it.

MisterE72 · 05-06-2009, 11:49 PM

The gauge set up looks sweet. I'm glad you got what you were lookin' for. I like the idea to paint it the color of the truck. Leaving it the natural aluminum however, keeps it from getting too monotonous. What wiring harness did you go with that accommodates the new gauges? Will it also work say if you get a vintage air system?

No limit gives a part number for a harness specifically for the gauges but I have not bought a harness yet. I will probably get one from painless that will accomodate the gauges and an ac set up.

kevncar · 05-07-2009, 01:54 AM

Looking good, keep it up...

and as for a central valley meet...
http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=342387

I read about an annual meet that these guys (kevsclassics and c/10king) have and wanted to go last year, but had a schedule conflict. They sound like really great guys and everybody that I've read that runs into them can't wait to hang out again. This get together is less than two weeks away, and knowing a little about the Valveburners club, there will probablly be a good mix of vehicles there. I you're looking for more of a truck only thing, do a little searching under kevsclassics posts and you should be able to find when their annual meet is, I think it's late summer...

franky69c10 · 03-22-2010, 07:36 PM

look'n good

MisterE72 · 03-22-2010, 08:42 PM

Good to see you're working on truck again. One more reason for me to get gettin' on mine.

PipsC10 · 03-23-2010, 11:15 PM

more parts on the way. I ordered my drum brake kit and front brake lines from early clasics. A/c vents from billet specialties and the vintage air control panel for the a/c unit. With these parts I should be able to run my e-brake lines and start to mock up my dash. Hope to make some progress this weekend. I may even make a trip to the good guys show this weekend and see if any vendors are running any specials on parts.

PipsC10 · 03-29-2010, 10:32 PM

finally a few exhaust photos. Its all 2 1/4 stainless with stainless 50 series flowmasters. I still have to pull it all back out this weekend and weld on some turndowns.

PipsC10 · 03-29-2010, 10:35 PM

some more

VA72C10 · 03-30-2010, 12:59 AM

nice patina. I like it.

PipsC10 · 04-04-2010, 11:41 AM

a few more progress photos. Vintage air 4 knob controller. Patina hood.

PipsC10 · 04-04-2010, 11:44 AM

I have a 396 BB still that I have not been able to sell. I found this truck the other day and spoke to the owner who seems to want to sell it. All original 64 short box fleet side from Sierra Railroad. I dont know if its just me or not, but I think that big block would fit nicely in this truck.
