Here's the sound from the headers, 3-inch pipe, and SpinTechs...

SpinTech w/3 inch exhaust - YouTube

After hearing the recorded sound of my truck, it helped put the AustinScott videos in better perspective. My truck does have a good tone, maybe it's just my ears!! lol

Sounds awesome dhaymaker, I have a set of Spintech Super Pro Streets on mine behind a BBC. Still haven't fired it yet so I don't know what it sounds like. I'm hoping it sounds as good as yours.

What did I do to my '67 today? Filled the tank up and drove it down the coast!

**67cheby** · 03-10-2012, 11:06 PM

I've been thinking of doing the same. You happy with it? You can take the knob for added security too right?

Yesterday the the brake and clutch pedals went in. Clutch is hooked up and adjusted. Windshield washer hoses and sprayers installed. Emergency brake cable attached and conected. Power steering hoses connected. Today the carburetor is going on and start wiring the engine harness. It feels good, my goal is to have truck on the road by April 15th.
I had to turn the dipstick because it was in the way of the clutch linkage. That wasn't fun.

Delo69 · 03-11-2012, 06:01 PM

Drove her around and returned some movies then brought her home and cleaned her and threw a coat of wax on her.

mud.man.rj · 03-11-2012, 07:58 PM

Very nice extremely clean truck, kind of nice to see a truck that isn't altered to much, not so common anymore is it, she's a looker.

Indyuke · 03-11-2012, 08:11 PM

Clean truck, Delo69. Where'd you get the hubcaps?

mud.man.rj · 03-11-2012, 08:46 PM

Cut my dash panel up a bit and fit Autometer Gauges in and a 3 pod on the dash bottom. Dash is gas/speedo and Tach.

A nd had last drive today, sold tires/rims today and bought new doors so off to body work/paint then new rims Mt Classic11 rims and Pitbull Rocker tires. Off the road for a while.

big_al_71 · 03-11-2012, 10:12 PM

mud.man.rj · 03-11-2012, 10:16 PM

Hey big al 71, what kind of box cover do you have, name brand and where from, looks good.

Pont406 · 03-11-2012, 10:29 PM

Got some gas before it gets to $5 and burned a little rubber...

Horsman · 03-11-2012, 10:34 PM

Got the hubcaps off ebay..they started off as S10 hubcaps that were black..I stripped the paint off them and repainted them white with blue bowtie to match the truck.

NICE TRUCK! beleived we talked on Facebook page already, because I have 69 c10 that is ur twin just I have the white bumpers and top and bottom trim. This summer I am going with white steelies like you got. Looks awesome. What size rubber you running?

**RenoKeene** · 03-12-2012, 12:04 PM

Installed my 72 throttle cable and pedal adaptor, now I need to find a shorter cable or shorten this one about 1/2"....it works good I just want to take some of the tension off of it.

1quik70 · 03-12-2012, 02:16 PM

A small change from my normal, "Jumped in and drove it to work this morning!". In the process of replacing the old worn out 454, with a newer less worn out 454. Should have been finished Saturday but, being an idiot I lost the bell housing bolts out of the donor truck, and had to wait until today to get more!

**67cheby** · 03-12-2012, 03:11 PM

beautiful work

shawno72 · 03-12-2012, 04:15 PM

Picked this up to go in the 68, an original 327. Needs a cleaning but I have a set of fuelie heads ready to go.
