It's coming together...

c10addict · 06-24-2008, 08:49 AM

Looking great... Love the way you followed the paint scheme inside the cab as well!!

StormRider · 06-24-2008, 10:05 AM

Very Nice Work! That's a SICK looking Stepside! I am doing mine right now and can only pray that I get that kind of result!

Thank you, take your time and do your research and anyone can do this. I'm 21 and this was my first time doing all the work myself. Of course I couldn't have done it without help from members of this board, especially Bobbo for his help with the engine. And it turns out Bobbo that my heater core does leak. That sucks.

**Palf70Step** · 06-24-2008, 10:09 PM

Beautiful job kyrull!!!

kyull67 · 06-25-2008, 02:14 AM

Well it's about 1:00 am and I just got done with the pinstripe. It looks great and really sets the paint off. I got all the glass installed and we ran the engine for about five minutes. The engine is sounding great and is super responsive. I think it will really surprise some people.
Thanks Bobbo!
The plan is to get the exhaust done on Thursday, work out a few bugs, finish assembly, and then cruise it to Kansas City on Saturday morning.

Just posting this here so I can find it later.

JETTING YOUR NEW HOLLEY 390 CFM 4 BRL CARB.
Up to 260 cu. in. 8.5 POWER VALVE .031 DISHCHARGE NOZZLE .048 MAINS

292-300 cu. in. 8.5 power valve .035 discharge nozzle .052 mains.

May not be perfect, but a great place to start tuning your new Holley.

bobbo · 06-25-2008, 08:35 AM

I am glad to be of help! You've got a sweet looking ride.

kyull67 · 06-25-2008, 10:19 PM

I got more parts installed today. Here's what it looks like with the pinstripe. The front looks weird in the picture and I had to go out to my gargage to make sure it hadn't moved on me. It's just the angle or something though. I even took a video of the engine running with open headers. I bet you'd like to see that but I don't know how to post videos.
I'm really happy with how well the paint turned out, especially considering this was my first time painting, it was done in my garage, and with a $100 spray gun. I still need to cut and polish it but unless you're right up on it, the paint looks perfect. Maybe this can be some motivation for some of you out there. I built this truck for under $7000.

72BlckButy · 06-25-2008, 10:26 PM

If that's not motivation, then I don't know what is....

Beautiful work Kyle!

By the way when you cruise to KC on Saturday, are you heading to any shows? I'm running up to KS to pick up my '72 doors, and then I'm going to try and stop by Doug's. Might run into you there...

BACKYARD88 · 06-25-2008, 10:49 PM

Looks good man. You really pulled off a nice truck on what most would consider a small budget. Don't park it in the garage

hotrod 80 · 06-26-2008, 06:43 AM

Wow , it really looks great . Must be nice to actually get to drive it after all that work . Im trying to finish mine with a $7000 budget also .

gcburdic · 06-26-2008, 08:12 AM

Great Job Kyle!!!....The paint job looks great too....Maybe next time I'll build mine on a $7k budget....my wife would at least appreciate it more!!!!

bad6772 · 06-26-2008, 05:41 PM

Looks great.....Awesome Job..........

samwise68 · 06-26-2008, 06:49 PM

But, I realllly wanna hear that 250 run man. If you can post pics through photobucket, then you can post vids - just go through the upload process.

Cool truck!

**Boog** · 06-26-2008, 08:01 PM

Kyull, buddy, whoa! That turned out real nice bud. I'm glad you kept the bed color. Have you revealed your interior plans yet? 2 tone seat and door panels to match?
When I get time I'm gonna have to read this whole thread all over again.

Congrats.

Oh and I found the attachment bolt for my factory in bed tire mount. I think I posted a pic of the mount for you a while back. It's nothing more than a large carriage bolt and a nut and large washer. The square carriage head slides down in the slot and does not turn.

Hey thanks, Interior plans for now are to keep it simple. I'll work on it here and there when I get bored but to be honest I am tired of working on this thing. It's not as much fun when it's 95 degrees in the garage. So instead of working on it and spending money on parts, I'll be driving it and spending money on gas. I'm still thinking about the spare but I don't have bed wood yet either. So my winter projects will be interior, bed wood, and a Turbo.

kyull67 · 06-27-2008, 03:27 AM

Ask and you shall recieve. Keep in mind that it wasn't tuned yet and I'm trying to break it in somewhat gently. Enjoy the video.

Doesn't sound as good as in person.

Great looking truck.

My son and I are going to start building a '67 short stepper soon and your progress and pictures gives us inspiration.

Thank you for sharing the pictures.
