Welcome all new members

Lot of great lookin' pickups on this thread!

draggin70 · 10-03-2010, 04:57 PM

I have posted to the bagged c10 link so thought i would share it here as well. Still under construction, but hope to have it on the road soon. THIS ENTIRE TRUCK IS BEING BUILT OFF CRAIGSLIST BELIEVE IT OT NOT!

The seats, engine, TPI, 5.1 DTS... the entire truck.

Ericram · 10-03-2010, 10:39 PM

WOOHOO!! I have been waiting for this! 1st post! Hope to share my truck build with you guys. This truck is how I bought it Jan 2010. Waiting on 2/4 drop in mail now.

**WIDESIDE72** · 10-03-2010, 10:53 PM

How much clearance do you have between the hood and battery with the hood closed?

Ericram · 10-03-2010, 11:14 PM

Lol well not much if I had closed it then. I had just purchased the truck and was swapping in a new batt and carb. Looking to get an air gap intake soon. Would be nice.

I don't know about hood and battery but I installed a radiator out of a 87 burb that is a good 3 inches taller with 4 core, no problems in my 72 3/4 with duallies. I also have a 454 cu.in., hope that helps.

check out my build thread:
http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=424311

if that link doesnt work, my build is called "layed out 67 swb project M.A.C."

kpeztruck · 10-05-2010, 05:59 PM

McClinton527, Your truck looks great. I really like the rear suspension, and the thought that went into it. The "bellcranks" that allow the shocks to be mounted at the rear and parallel to the chassis are cool. I am sure the ratio on the bellcranks had an effect on shock valving for ride, but should not be too difficult to figure out. Great build! Paul Baxter

Thank you very much. Yes the cantilever setup in the rear is probably about a 2:1 ratio. I ordered the shocks and had them valve em for an off road type setup figuring they would be a bit more stiff. As it turns out it works pretty damn good its a very very smooth ride. I dont know for sure if its the ultimate handling setup, but lets face it this truck wasnt intended for handling. Thanks again for the props

Yes, cantilever is the word I was searching for, my vocabulary just failed me.LOL Very unusual and trick set-up.

probably one of the nicest trucks I have seen on this board....in my opinion!

'Mater · 10-10-2010, 07:32 PM

Done with phase 1, New rockers, cab corners, cab supports, little bit of floor, built a stake bed, dual fuel tanks, painted the cab and door. That's enough for one summer, I'll get after the front clip and drive train next spring.

I don't think I have ever seen a flat bed with fender cut outs, where the bed is down on the framee. All of them thst I have seen sit up so high to clear the tires for a flat floor. I like it.

djracer · 10-05-2010, 08:24 PM

McClinton That is an awesome ride.

Welcome to the board also.

I will never forget when I was a teenager I worked at an auto parts store and I told one of my customers a 305 was not a v6 it was a V8. LOL

I didnt know GMC used the 351 v6's in pickups, I have only heard of them using the 305's

New Member - One pict of Old Nellie. The name came with the truck so I'm using it. I'm the third owner. It's a 1971 no A/C C20 with 350/TH350, Edelbrock 600cfm, & headers. Front disks. Plywood bed. Rust in the door sills and bottoms of the fenders but the rests is solid from what I've found so far. Been working through the bugs, electrical grounding problems with the tail lights, brake lines and the latest today of a small fire on the intake manifold. Left that dang fuel smell go too long.

, was old hose on the carb. Spent 3 hours replacing crispy wiring, all of 7 wires. Glad these are so basic. A new truck would have been a mess. Will post more when I get a chance.
