Honestly, if I were made of money I'd have a set of Boyd Spectrums in 20x8.5 and 20x10 with black centers and machined (or maybe polished) lips...

Can anyone photoshop the center of this wheel black?

knomadd · 05-23-2014, 02:53 PM

I really like those Boyds wheels. Looking forward to seeing some PB parts go together!

Looks like part # CP30106-2.

I am chomping at the bit but my wife would blow a gasket if I start pulling the truck apart while we are trying to sell our house. Not sure if I shared a pic of what is distracting me from my truck build... a new house... with a 3 car garage.

smbrouss70 · 05-23-2014, 03:57 PM

Congrats! Looks like the new garage is going to be roomy. So where is the wife going to park?

knomadd · 05-23-2014, 05:35 PM

I want a 3-car garage! That'll be nice, even if you have to give up a space for the wife, like I do.

C10_ustacould · 05-23-2014, 08:21 PM

Did a little grinding tonight, I think this one is close enough that the body man can smooth it the rest of the way. Just happy to have made some progress.

C10_ustacould · 05-23-2014, 08:27 PM

Another update, Hart_Rod and I went and picked up some sheet metal last weekend. It was a marathon ride to Atlanta and back but it was worth it. Here is a pic of what I like to call my rust free west coast truck repair kit.

sprint_9 · 05-24-2014, 11:48 PM

Ive been wanting to build or buy a new house for 2 years but haven't had much luck, looks like you got a nice pad.

Thanks sprint, My wife has been waiting 20 years for this house and I am happy we can finally do it.

Rusbuilt · 05-25-2014, 08:43 AM

I think I'm going to try and find a 68 front clip... and some buddy buckets.

preacher anthony · 06-06-2014, 10:43 AM

Where did the sheet metal come from for replacement?

The rockers are NOS GM pieces, everything else is Tri-Plus from AMD.

preacher anthony · 06-06-2014, 02:39 PM

Thanks, I was thinking of using AMD myself. I just bought a '69, need rockers, inner fenders and some patch panels.

Cool, definitely good stuff from AMD. My rockers came from board member davestrucks, he may have another set. Be prepared though they are pricey.

C10_ustacould · 06-21-2014, 05:05 PM

So I have been complaining about the way Shiro runs since I've had it. I read about tuning the I6 but didn't believe that the spark plug gap should be .060 with an HEI. Well, it works well, the I6 runs much better accelerating without any hesitation to 70mph. We also changed the air filter from a little chrome 3 1/2" deal to a cone style that looks out of place but has to breath better. Just thought I'd share a bright spot for today. We took it to a cruise-in last night and I snapped a pic. While on the way home we stopped by the Chevy dealer to visit with the latest generation and snapped another pic...

Rusbuilt · 06-21-2014, 05:24 PM

Lookin good sir!

C10_ustacould · 06-21-2014, 07:06 PM

Thanks Rus, what's up with your 6.0L?

Rusbuilt · 06-21-2014, 07:24 PM

We are trying to buy a new house and we could just use the money. I still have my entire project for sale here locally but I would much rather part with just the 6.0 swap and just buy another one later.

preacher anthony · 06-21-2014, 11:31 PM

What do u have for sale?

C10_ustacould · 07-06-2014, 10:14 PM

Well, unfortunately I have no updates for Shiro but I do have an update that will lead to updates to Shiro!

The new house is coming along, it won't be long and we'll be blowing Shiro apart in that garage!

**nlped** · 07-06-2014, 10:56 PM

Looks like a great workshop :-)

Bennett68C10 · 07-06-2014, 11:09 PM

Nice looking house, I'm envious of that garage
