Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
Hey, so what is really going on with this engine of yours, if it was me I would have gone elsewhere. Have you thought about this? Because you have to be getting frustrated by now. Sorry if it is causing trouble for you.

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
your truck is sweet man coming along real nice. what do you have to the bottom of your gas tank? i got mine cheap and got 8" to the bottom of the tank at the back but im just afraid of hitting it coming down a sloped drive.

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
I'm by no means a suspension expert but if you consider your plans to shim the UCA out on the rear stud you do in fact push the wheel forward in the fender but you also create an issue in that now the top ball joint is ahead of the lower and that I believe could cause steering issues. Not only is there caster,camber, and toe in there is another factor called ackerman I cannot explain that but I have had it explained to me and Im thinking by creating two different axis on the UCA and LCR pivot points you may have issues. In looking at mods to center the wheel in the opening I cant help but think moving the complete suspension forward is the best way to accomplish this. I have seen cut and modified CA's but aint no way I'd do it. So Im considering the crossmember relocation as the best way to accomplish the goal. I know that Nate,(Porterbilt) is a busy guy but I would value his input to this situation anyone that can design and build the dropmember with the expertise he has I would think he definitely understands steering geometry. Anyway not to throw cold water on your plans I would sure do some diligent research into this, you have built one of the cleanest rigs on this forum and it would be a shame to create a situation that could possibly prove disastrous you can always build another truck if it gets damaged but you cant restore or replace your body!

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
if you move the cab back, wouldnt you have to move all the mounts? including the front core support mounts, which holds the grille which bolts to the fenders?
i didnt get a chance to run outside and check my truck to make sure because its ugly ass hell outside and wont stop raining (been off all week and no progress lol)..but i think if you move the cab back, everything has to move. maybe someone can verify that..

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
Update: I took my engine cradle to the machine shop today, you know that means it is almost time to get the elusive engine back. It has only been 11 months and 12 days, should have it back Saturday!!!

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
I traded out the Blazer seats for a set of 88 to 91 buckets, they actually are in great shape just a little dirty. The Blazer seats had a little more rust on them than I wanted to contend with. Also have the bodyman coming this weekend to finish up my rockers and breather cover and a couple of odds and ends. I am getting more excited about the engine too!

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
A little bit accomplished this weekend, wish it was more, here goes.
Test fitted the seats....they are perfect for these trucks! Got my gas filler neck in and got it ready to install when the bed goes on for the last time. Some of you guys will know what these are. Sorry the pic is a little blurry. Camelhump heads.....and they are going on the 327. They look rough now but they won't for long. Couple more hottanks and a sandblasting and they'll look like new. What's this??? My 327! It is not quite finished but getting those heads was worth the wait. He has paint on it so that was a good indication that it will be done soon. My bodyman talked me into painting it the color of the truck.

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
Had a couple more pics to share. We started fixing the paint on both rockers and cab corner (no comment). Almost ready for paint.
Got the valve covers and the breather cover prepped and primed so hope to have a little color on those before the end of next week.

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
It's really coming together....engine cover is going to look great and it's going to really flow well with the engine and valve covers all painted the same!
