I have not had a lot of time to work on my 67, with oldest son's 49 and my wife's firebird starting. I do have my truck in the body shop getting slicked off and ready for paint.

I found them here on this site:

Thank you Sir

[roushinator]

Cowl got a little warped when we shaved it but i think i can fix that. I have a ton of grinding to do now.

My weekend project....

[swamp rat]

I have that driveshaft sticker at home, but it didn't come with that pretty of a driveshaft!

[roushinator]

Well it fits! Now on to the next C10 weekend project.

[roushinator]

I got my No Limit Rear sway bar installed. Installation was fairly easy.

This truck was actually originally my dads (post drug dealer) he got it from a sheriffs auction around 2001 or so. He taught me and my brother to drive in it. Sadly he passed away in 2004 so when you bought it you probably got it from us or whomever bought it from us. I don't think it's passed many hands since us. We would absolutely love to see it and/or talk about if because it brings back memories of our dad. I'm 26 now (daughter) and my brother is 28, we were 14 and 16 when our dad died.
We took it to the state capital drag way and it did a 13.8 second quarter mile (of course my dad didn't know anything about cars lol. )please reach out to me if you can . My email is lacilocicero1@gmail.com

Thanks!

Ridiculously Sexy! Just sayin'...

[roushinator]

I haven't done much lately but i have a lot in the works...

I got new headers. Old on right new on left. I got these instead because the doug thorleys made it a little more difficult to route the exhaust like i wanted.

Dynatech 70-81 F-Body LS swap headers 1 7/8"primaries, 3" collector.











I also got a new wiring harness, new steering column, dakota digital gauges, new original stepside fenders and i also have a MarK bed coming in. I found a painter and someone to do my body work sooo.. You should see more progress soon.

[Steve Cole]

Love the new headers, who makes them ?

[roushinator]

Got some good stuff yesterday from Mar-K

Bedsides and tailgate?

I can't wait to see this come together!

Yeah. Bed sides with no stake holes. Tailgate with hidden latch and hinge (no chains). All new rails for underneath.

[drfloyd]

Subb'd.

[roushinator]

Parts primed and ready to test fit

[erichevy]

Just came across this thread. It was exciting to go thru page by page and see how things were changed up over time. Turning out awesome! Going to keep checking back to get some ideas and inspiration for mine when it comes time to build.

[roushinator]

almost a year later but making slow progress....
