Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
Well here is an update of sorts, since the layoff I have purchased a 2001 Chevy and got my trailer ready for work.......also decided on a name for my business. Today was my startup date. I had a couple of jobs today and spent $53 to make $173 and helped my freind on a job that netted $200 for myself, so I can't say that it was a bad day!!! I'll get back on my truck soon!!

Thanks Nuke! It is a big leap of faith on this, but it will work out for sure. I am still working on the truck just not spending any on it right now. See above......... Quote:

Thanks Devil Dog!! I put some thought into it and it has double meaning also. WWII pilots asked for the "whole nine yards" of munitions for their fighter planes since it was offered in 3,6, and 9 yard belts, and everyone likes golf courses how neatly they are kept so it was a no brainer!!!!

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
Here is a small but good update. Tried cranking the motor again today after finding a couple of things that were wrong when I tried before, like a bad condensor. We got it to turn but not run. Also rebuilt one of my vent windows today for the driver side.....it is time consuming on the first one, but the second one should not even take half as long. Still gotta put the glass in though.

Thanks Heath!!! See you are gonna beat me! I think we narrowed it down to a bad condensor, hopefully a new one will help the problem!

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
Around here you rarely see shortbeds, and thats ok. After a lifetime of looking at longbeds, the shorties just look a bit stubby to me. I can't wait to get to this point of my build. You're doing a darn fine job.
