Shout out on build - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Gipper01 · 11-27-2016, 01:12 PM

Hi to all and happy belated Thanksgiving!
I finally got the 1967 C10 on the road after six years of hard work and patience. Before I go any further I'd like to give a shout-out to all that had an Instrumental in the build process; Porterbuilt (Nate & Dave), Accuair, Pro Performance (Travis), PSI(Gary), this forum and all board members, and last but certainly not least - my Turner (Clyde). It has truly been challenging but rewarding build process and this forum was the beginning to it all. I still have a ways to got but it's primarily cosmetics - I'm actually daily driving. Now for a little back ground on the C10:

Drive Train: 2008 5.3L w/4L70e (sleeper cam) 2 piece driveshaft
Coming soon: Magnuson Supercharge
Suspension: PB mild stepnotch dropmember w/Accuair e-level/Mustang R&P
Wheels: 20x8.5(255/40/20) front/ 20x10 (295/40/20) rear
Custom Guages: Speedhut
Seats: buckets from 1971 K5 Blazer
Rear lighting: Marquez Design/Digi-Tail
Carpeting: Stock Interiors
Note: i know, this thread is no good without photos. I'm working on it.

Again, thanks to everyone for your time and patience throughout the process

Looks like great work. The gauges look fantastic from what I can see. What are your plans for the body finishing?

Few more shots. The 2008 5.3L backed by the 2007 4L70e is awesome. There was a few ECM and TCM OS issues to work through up front but I have a great Tuner with the HPT software who worked out the kinks. Shoutout to Pro Performance for the all around Bear brakes setup, pro touring wheels, and a host of other Items. The engine harness from PSI was a breeze - I installed the entire harness in less then one hour with no wiring or system issues. The Accuair system is the bomb. I chose to mount the system in the bed area under a raised bed floor; still a bit of cleaning up to do in that area. If you have the dead presidents to spare, Speedhut makes pleasing guages. Still got work to do but I'm going to DD the C10 as I work the body, interior, and quite a few other things.

Thanks Longbox. I'll take care of the body work myself. I'm tossing-up between three colors for the body, still undecided (1) Black cherry matalic, (2) Dark royal matallic blue or (3) silver with a hint of pearl blue. Still a year out for paint.
