thank you!.... well im just as ready to here it as much as you guys are.... since the radiator was taken out before the exhuast we didnt fire it up..... so i dont even know what it sounds like... the pipes are still virgins! lol BUT... tomorrow.... ill take a video for you guys and man i cant wait to here it! im gonna be grinning from ear to ear!

[Xeen]

I noticed the pipes dump out right after the rear axle I was wondering why you didnt take them all the way back to the bumper.
Im sorry to hear about the radiator, an unexpected expense is never a good thing.
Im excited to see the video of it running, do us a favor and have someone record video while you take it for a ride and do us the honor of seeing you spur that bad boy a little bit.
The DZ 302 is a thoroughbred, it was born for one reason and one reason only, to race and win!

I can just hear the announcer now.
67Chevy is pawing the ground and snorting like a raging bull, this is the moment we've all been waiting for, and THEY ARE OFF!

[67chevy1series]

HAHA! yeah but theres nothing like a brand new radiator! yeah ill get a video for you guys! .... i wonder if the old truck will do a burnout... the brakes are REALLY good, and the tires are pretty much brand new so they should have good traction... and my 302 should have LOTS of power... if everything is working against each other so equally how can it? lol i probably sound like a retard.... maybe is just gotta floor it from idle speed....

[Xeen]

hah! If that truck wont do a tire melting burn out with that motor I will eat my shorts!
Which reminds me is that an Automatic or a Manual?

[67chevy1series]

its an automatic. TH350

[Xeen]

Oh heck yeah just put it in drive at idle and stomp on the gas and be prepared to steer because im telling you right now she is going to get ornery and do yourself a favor and do it out of town LOL
Oh and I sent you a message the other day I dont know if you got it.

ok.... the bad news is...

the 68 K10: altenator fried! belt broke, so now no charging and no water pump!
the 67, needs a new heater core, and water pump..... and all new tranny fluid.

since the 68 went down i ran maybe a mile to the exhaust shop went there paid the man and hopped in the ILLEGAL truck and drove home.... thats when i noticed the low tranny fluid..... so i rode maybe half the speed of smell to my house lol

the GOOD NEWS is; SOUNDS AMAZING!!!!!!

bad no phone so nothing to record with yet.... im here at my house now waiting for the guys to put the rear and front window in....

[Xeen]

Ok let me get this straight here.
The 67 needs a new Heater Core, Water Pump and Radiator?
yeesh that isnt gonna be cheap...
Let me see $300 for the exhaust work, $400 for the windows and instal, $350 for a 4-row aluminum radiator, $60 for the heater core, $100 for the water pump, good grief thats an expensive couple of days!

[67chevy1series]

Lol it was 547.80 for exhaust, take out of old radiator install of new radiator, the new radiator and for the Thermostat ad for te windows I think it's gonna be 311.00. The front window rubber doesn't have the right groove for the trim so tomorrow he's gonna bring a rubber that he has and if it works hes going to give me his rubber for free! So tomorrow while I'm at school, at 8:00 the glass guy is gonna come put my front window in and we will pay him! Hopefully that's what happens assuming he has the right rubber... And my dads truck has a new belt and alternator so he's back up and driving again! So now I don't have a front window again lol

well the other window rubber didnt work so hes going to order one and retry tomorrow. i got my new tranny fluid in and got it weighed today at the scale for DMV, it weighed 3,720 pounds!

left on my list:
1. alignment
2. brake and lamp inspection
3. registration
4. get a stinking rubber to fit my trim!!!
if the new rubber doesnt work im going to run with no trim and get a non trim rubber. i am VERY disappointed in the weather stripping that i have gotten so far....

heres some pics though. and oh by the way..... DID MY FIRST BURNOUT IN IT TODAY! it was seriously on accident! i know you guys are gonna laugh at that sentence but it was i was going to drive it back on the trailer after i did the weight and she barked her tires a bit!

[67chevy1series]

and heres some more, the rear window is PPG and if i remember correctly its the same guys that made the windows for our trucks back in the day.. but i think it was PPG soft ray tint.

[Xeen]

Hmm thats very odd about your stainless windshield trim, are you sure that the trim is the correct year, the only reason I ask is because 67-70 and 71-72 are completely different part numbers, so maybe you have 67-70 gasket and 71-72 stainless trim.

[67chevy1series]

Yeah that's probably what's goin on but trim or no trim tomorrow the rear window IS GOING IN! lol I'm gettin irritated with it, and I haven't even done a thing with new windshield yet lol

[Xeen]

It looks like some new patina is setting in on the roof...just messin with ya
Im happy for you I know you are very excited to have "The Screamer" running and driving.
Oh hey did you ever find out why your Transmission fluid was low, did it leak out, or dump out when you installed it?

[67chevy1series]

well when they took the radiator out, some of my fluid leaked out of the tranny coolant lines. so they never put more back in. on the way home form exhaust shop she only did 10 mph tops!
