Anytime! $6,000 and you can have it! You pick it up. I do love building motors. I could easily do it all day every day. I really do think I missed my calling by becoming an electrician. Dammit! Oh well, thank God for hobbies!

[Newtz67]

Finally pulled the 67 outa the weeds today! Poor thing has been sooo neglected. Since I finally took some pics of the truck I'm gonna go crazy, hope you don't mind.

[Newtz67]

After a much needed pressure wash. I apologize for the wheels and tires, those things have got to go! Think I'll go back to the rallyes.

[Newtz67]

More pics.

Good lookin truck!

Where those big block headers in there? If so, which ones and what did you have to do to get them in?

Thank you! No those are the headers from my small block I had in before. Check out this thread, http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=394656 , for header info. These are the headers I'm going with for the big block.

[Newtz67]

Did a quick clean-up on the interior so figured I would post some more pics.

[highperf4x4]

That hole is small compared to the one in my dash. It about 15inches long and 6 inches tall. Ya Newtz love the beater trucks in the background

[wp silverado]

that truck is so good looking, some rust or not thats a great start

[70stroker]

Nice truck

If you havnt made your mind up 100% on headers i got another option for you. I bought mine for my bbc off a board member here, they are 2 inch primarys with 3.5 collectors. Very well built and not one bit hangs below the frame at all. If your interested let me know ill give ya some details and pics.

I had my gauges in it, then when I sold it he put an aluminum plate over it with a stereo in it. I'm not sure yet what I'm gonna do with it.

I am interested in checking them out! Any info would be great! Are they custom built? Any coating or just paint? Price? Thanks a bunch!

I'd also be intrested in those header options, Stoker. Newtz, thats a great looking truck. I look forward to looking on here for your progress. My 68 was also my dads truck. He bought it from the first owner in 1970, been in the family ever since. It was used as a work truck in the construction business till about '83 when I started driving it. Finally after about 250,000 on the original 327 I had to park it. Been a project ever since, HA! Funny story about the 327. When I took it to the machine shop, the guy looked at the crank and asked me what this engine came out of. The crank was the forged steel, big journal kind. My dad had taken the truck back to dealer shortly after he bought it because it had a "miss". The dealer fixed it by changing the camshaft out. Flash forward to the machine shop, steel crank, "fuelie" heads, the cam being changed years before because to my non-hot rod dad thought it had a miss ? Was my truck made on a Friday at quitting time and someone threw in a 327 destined for a vette insted of a c-10 ? That's my story and I'm sticking to it !

Haha, that's good stuff!

I bought the headers bare, because one of my buddies coats things so could get it done cheaper then i could of payed the guy i bought them from.

You could say they are custom made. This guy was having problems finding full lengths while layin frame on bags. I bought em for about 500 i cant remember exact. I know it seems like alot of money but the fit is awesome. They are .5 inch ABOVE the frame, nice thick flanges, and had the 2 inch primarys i was looking for.

I cant get some better pics tomorrow also if you are interested, also i can get you his contact info.

[Newtz67]

Thanks alot for those pics! I'm pretty sure I'm going to go with the other headers I was looking at. If I change my mind I'll let you know. Thanks again!

[70stroker]

ya no problem, you truck just seemed to sit about as low as mine and i know the others should rub.
