Re: 1967 Chevy CST aka "the loud truck"
Well I messed with the fuel guage situation a little today... When I disconnect the brown wire at the tank it goes all the way to full and then when I reconnect it it just goes to empty.

Re: 1967 Chevy CST aka "the loud truck"
Well I have bought a new sending unit and now when I disconnect the brown wire my guage reads full and when I reconnect it goes to empty... Took the sending unit out and grounded it, connected the brown wire and moved the floater and the fuel guage would move

Re: 1967 Chevy CST aka "the loud truck"
I picked up a drive line today that will work with my 700r swap so now I'm down to:
11 quarts of ATF And I need to figure out how the 700r overdrive cable connects to my 1406 eddy since it doesn't use the same cable as the 350 |

Re: 1967 Chevy CST aka "the loud truck"
alright i finally have a computer at my disposal lol. I'm gonna take you guys wayy back to when i stopped posting pics and build up to current day. i have done a bunch of things like replacing the "s" plenum box under the dash and putting metal AC ball vents from a 65 wildcat in then the drop coils in the rear and the rear disc, the posi (currently still trying to make happen), I've installed an even better passenger fender I've installed a new hood since the last one got hit in the hit and run, I've been sanding off all the old nasty paint of the door and shooting them with a coat of primer and paint which made them look soo much better then before, I've had a flat and ended up turning the white lines inside and I've even replaced the thermostat and water pump recently, as well as getting parts together for the 7004r swap i hop you enjoy all the pics of those upgrades and installs as well as the random pics taken around town or at my college.

Re: 1967 Chevy CST aka "the loud truck"
thanks Nate! I'm gathering parts and cleaning things up and making the truck how I've expected it to perform and drive. having the 3.07 gears would certainly explain why my truck has always felt "heavy" to me it feels like I'm driving a giant wall when I'm driving down the freeway, feels like the wind is fighting hard against my truck, but the 3.73 should take care of that and my wallet no problem! lol

Re: 1967 Chevy CST aka "the loud truck"
alright finally brought the truck up to La Grange where im gonna be until the 10th and now i can put some work in to the truck i brought it home and for the night i took the original 67 shifter knob off and put on the 67 GM car shifter knob in.. i must say I'm pleased with it looks right at home in the truck! tomorrow I'm going to install that door jamb vent into the passenger door jamb i thought about doing it in the driver side but with the vin there it would look to busy so since the passenger side only has the door striker it should look better on that side. an also here is a before and after of the shifter knob.

Re: 1967 Chevy CST aka "the loud truck"
today i went to go drive it and its actually a very comfortable knob! it fits the curves and how you grab the shifter perfectly, and what can i say you know some pretty cool things that i don't know about all of GM from 60's vs. just the trucks which allows for many "stock custom" parts which is what i like best... its all about trying to "keep your GM truck all GM"
today i went and got some work done on the 67. installed the vent in the passenger door jamb and it came out pretty good I'm pleased with it. and i also got around to painting the master cylinder so i sanded the rust off and the shot it with some silver hammered paint and i think it looks better. here are some pics. |

Re: 1967 Chevy CST aka "the loud truck"
worked on the doors and adjusting the doors and fenders as well as the cowl. im pretty happy for now. need to undo the driver rocker and find a way to bring it out more so its flush with the cab corner. and i think im going to have to weld a bead along the bottom of the passenger door so the gap is a little smaller for the rocker to door since the door is actually on correctly. other then that its as good as its going to get. however i cannot seem to correct the driver bottom right portion of the door I've tried to adjust the door accordingly and it just isnt working it sticks out like maybe 1/4 or 3/8's out from the cab corner you guys have any ideas? heres some pictures of the gaps

Re: 1967 Chevy CST aka "the loud truck"
alright so i'm thinking about going to get new shocks and then i realized that i don't know what shock to get since i have the 4'' lowering coils in the back so my question to you guys is if you go to O 'Reilly's auto parts store what vehicle do i use to get the correct length shock for my 4'' rear drop?
and there's a little something going on in the garage today... |
