Last project 1964 C10

Here is a run down of my 1964 C-10 project. I just turned 60 yrs old and I think this will be my last build..so I maybe dump a bit more effort into it.
I started with a short bed frame I found on CL for $125.00 and added a Porterbuild suspension kit , 496 big block with FiTech EFI and Jones Racing pulley system , Turbo 400 Gear Vendors Overdrive and a fresh 12 bolt Posi.
I swapped in a Big back window and every panel is brand new..

I really like what you are doing with this one. These trucks look amazing in black.
What size wheels and tires is that?

Re: Last project 1964 C10

It looks great! I hope you don't mind picking your brain a little. What kind of header did you use? Did you move the engine forward and what about valve cover clearance?
I am just about to start on my 65 swb I have all the parts to start just need a few more things headers being one of them.

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.

I used a BBC Chevelle Patriot headers I did not move the engine forward..the rack and pinion steering will not allow for that very very tight to the oil pan. there was no clearance for the valve covers to clear the firewall. I had to heat the firewall up and hammer it back enough to clear..plus the motor sets higher and no room for a power brake booster..I had to use a Hydroboost
