Re: 68 project
Yes, it is time to pull the cab back off and finish up on the frame, suspension and getting the motor set right. I had to change my motor mounts to fit the headers they would not clear so now I have pulled the frame mounts off the 78 chassis and they clear fine. So, you can make camaro headers work on a c10
![]() I will be partially tearing down the motor to do a few mods to it, I do have concern with the motor so I want to check into it further, may do a complete rebuild and add some other mods to it while I am into it. ![]()

Re: 68 project
Thanks for following along John, it definitely has its challenges but will be rewarding the day I get to pull it out on the street and drive it once again

Re: 68 project
Making some really good progress Larry. The bed wood turned out really nice and the black strips really make it stand out.

Re: 68 project
Larry,
Just finished looking at every page of your build and I'm blown away by what you've done to this truck! I'm sure that you'll be right on target for June. Keep up the great work and maybe if I have time I will make the trip down to check it out. Lorne Si vis pacem, para bellum |
