Re: 66 c10 first timer build
W/B....if you plan on lowering the truck your panhard bar can hit some of those big aluminium differential covers. My 'burb is bagged and the bar is right against the pumpkin when all down. Just a heads up.
That pressure washer looked killer. ![]()

Re: 66 c10 first timer build
I was planning on putting a 700r4 behind it. I have been reading alot of other posts about them and it seems there kinda a hassle or easy to mess up install and burn it up. anybody have any pointers. I will be installing it and its my first time so any suggestions would be awesome.

Re: 66 c10 first timer build
700r4s are awesome as long as you get the tv cable set right and don't over horsepower them. There is nothing like rolling down the interstate at 75 or 80 in overdrive turning 200o rpm.

Re: 66 c10 first timer build
I would suggest some research before laying down your hard earned money......

That grill looks a little rough. I would pass unless you are good with metal work, or are willing to pay to have it repaired. One thing though, those original aluminum grills are hard to find.

Re: 66 c10 first timer build
gearstar- they build your tranny to your truck--horsepower, gear ratio, tire diameter.etc. and have a 3 year warranty. everthing comes withit--cooler,lock up,cable, torque converter etc.

I almost always join one as soon as I move because I like to show my Tempest, but the reason I ask is because I do a lot of "word of mouth" shopping. When I am in a gathering of all those old timers I ask who they think is the best for ________(whatever it is I am needing at the time) and when I get 4-5 or more replies with the same name it is usually a pretty fair bet I am getting the best the local area has to offer. I seriously took a day off work to haul my OHC-6 motor 120 miles because everyone said that Raymond Kittler in Shereveport was the best around. I was very happy with what I got. Anyways, longwinded, but perhaps that is an idea for you....??

Re: 66 c10 first timer build
The 700R4's are typically more expensive for a good rebuild than say a TH350. Especially once you need them upgraded for a non-stock engine. I agree on trying to find a good local trans shop, or maybe someone that does them on the side at home.

Re: 66 c10 first timer build
so when im calling around is there a diff trans i should be asking about or is the 700r4 the one that i want, like i said, new to all this so if there is somethin i should now, like maybe a diff trans please help me out. thanks guys.
O and as far as the frame goes i should be getting it soon, i know ive said that a few times its just the weather here has sucked and the frame is out side so it only gets attention when the weather is nice. so hopefully soon it will be back in my possession. |
