Cool build. Tagging in to follow.

cooperhw · 08-10-2017, 10:43 AM

Cool build. I'll tag along. I been wanting to do a turbo for quite a while now, but have held off mainly because I never done one and little gunshy.
Keep us posted.

bocephus79 · 11-17-2017, 09:09 PM

Back Again. Getting the Exhaust finished before I move on to other stuff. This is the first build I'm having painted so I'm super worried about drilling holes in anything AFTER paint. Going to basically assemble everything and blow it back apart for final paint stuff. Got the Wastegate mounted and Recirculated it into the downpipe.

You have a nice build going. Will keep watching. I am in the process of putting a turbo on my 1965 C-10. Can you tell the brand and a part number for the intercooler that you used. I thought using an air to water style cause I didn't think a air to air would fit behind the grill in front of the radiator. Keep up the good work.

bocephus79 · 01-07-2018, 05:52 PM

Winter is car wash busy season here so the poor truck has been neglected! Lots of bed parts ordered and odds and ends I'll get some pictures of soon. I recently had Rendered Rides work up what I'm going for..and i'm beyond happy with the outcome.

Just stumbled across this build, LOVE it! These turbo builds always intrigue me. Probably just going to do an N/A LS in my 64, but DEFINITELY going to build a turbo LS in something down the road! Love the rig so far dude, keep it up

Got some time to finish the High Hump install and throttle assembly.

My new favorite things are Riv-nuts! No more welding nuts to stuff! Whole high hump is removable. I also took an S10 throttle bracket and pedal and it fit close to factory ( with some bending). The stock 6.0 throttle cable plugged into the hole in the firewall like it was meant to be there.

Thanks, this is my first ever turbo anything. So the learning curve is steep. Also the most complete " restoration" as well. Nothing like swinging for the fences....

Love it. Mine is my first build too. Hoping I dont screw anything up too bad haha. Keep it coming on the pics!

Beatrice · 01-23-2018, 12:50 PM

what size is the new intercooler?

JamieGallien · 01-23-2018, 01:15 PM

Looking good. I plan to add a turbo once I get mine together and running NA. Subbing.

66C10LB · 01-23-2018, 01:55 PM

Liking where you are going with this...subscribed. Impressive amount of work you had to do on that cab!

bocephus79 · 02-08-2018, 07:52 PM

The weather has been perfect for carwashing! being insanely busy and installing some new equipment has soaked up almost all of my time. I did get my bedsides delivered and the sheet metal work is DONE! Also have my under dash fuse panel installed for the engine harness I'll attach some pictures I have so far, and some carwash pictures because why not.

Notch1988 · 02-11-2018, 03:15 PM

Keep up the good work

bocephus79 · 03-07-2018, 10:20 AM

My budget Home Depot compressor wasn't happy with the start of body work. So I bit the bullet and upgraded. It's safe the say this will be the last time I buy a compressor in my life! 80 gallon 5HP. 25 CFM. PLumbed it into a refrigerated dryer ( my air tools are happy!).

bocephus79 · 03-07-2018, 10:24 AM

I really wanted to do a column shift for my 4l80e. I spent a ton of time calling ididit, flaming river etc to see if it was possible. I got 3 different answers. No, Maybe, And it might, but not shift through all the gears. So i went with a Ratchet B!tch shifter from Kilduff. I think I'm gonna be happy. The left stick shifts like a normal shifter, while the one on the right ratchets one gear at a time.

bocephus79 · 03-07-2018, 10:27 AM

Bed came off and I built a somewhat sketchy stand so I can work on it. Took the truck outside and wire wheeled and sandblasted everything I could on the frame. I sprayed it with SEM rust converter and it's waiting for paint now

bocephus79 · 03-07-2018, 10:32 AM

Mocked up the boyds tank with the A1000 pump. USed some existing holes in the frame, and welded Nuts and washers inside the frame rail. now the tank can be installed or removed from the bottom easily.

BR3W CITY · 03-07-2018, 12:07 PM

I thought I was the only other person who ever ran a kilduff shifter lol. Boss Kilduff is a trip man, cool guy, but very much an enthusiast-run biz. I like that twin stick model! I've run his Twister shifter for around 5 years and haven't had an issue. Plus no one ever knows what it is.

Rusty63 · 03-07-2018, 12:55 PM

love the progress so far,nice work!

Notch1988 · 03-07-2018, 01:05 PM

Great progress. I love the Kilduff shifter, I plan to pull the trigger on a lightning rod shifter in the next few weeks.

rmvlt1100 · 03-13-2018, 08:55 PM

Love the progress your making. I was looking for a new shifter, think I found one. (Maybe like the one you have) I was wondering what in tank fuel pump you are using? Thanks in advance for the info. Have a good night.

Mine is a boyd's ank with an A-1000 pump. I didn't want fueling issues with the turbo. for a NA Ls swap you could get away with way smaller
