Re: Extreme Powder Coating '65 C-10 Shop Truck
How about the Mooneyes gas cap filling in the stock gas tank filler?

Re: Extreme Powder Coating '65 C-10 Shop Truck
Which engine should I run?
327 Bored .030 comp cam / roller rockers or a LS-2 carburated with GM front dist. drive. ASA hot cam ???? undecided ???? Also will be running a T-56 from a 97 Trans Am with 3.73 rear gears ? Both engines will look very Old Skool . What you guys like the trick battery boxes ? Last edited by kart34; 11-25-2010 at 01:42 PM. |

Re: Extreme Powder Coating '65 C-10 Shop Truck
Greg, as much as I dig the LS series, from what you have told me about the build I cannot see anything but the old school 327. Yes we can make the LS look old but is kinda like making an old woman look young... yeah its cool but something aint quite right
 The 327 fits the build better, you have the 60's dash and keeping the wheels more traditional but bigger. Just my thoughts my man, I will call you later this week or early next week.Carter |

Re: Extreme Powder Coating '65 C-10 Shop Truck
Carter,
Kinda the same thing Roger Burman said. The 327 is setting in the chassis now and i agree does fit the build better. But it also would be nice to have that killer LS-2 power???? Last edited by kart34; 11-25-2010 at 01:44 PM. |

Re: Extreme Powder Coating '65 C-10 Shop Truck
I think it would be easier to make the 327 "fit" the build... but I am a HUGE fan of the LS. I think you could pull off the LS, and I think it would be worth it.

Re: Extreme Powder Coating '65 C-10 Shop Truck

Re: Extreme Powder Coating '65 C-10 Shop Truck
327 ! Use the LS in the wagon. Also when I did the math/calculations on my ElCamino with the T56 and a 27.5 ish tire , I will be able to use a 4:56 gear and only run 2100 RPM at around 75mph , if I remember right. I did the calculation off of a web site 3 years ago. They make a S10 rear with a 4:10 gear. That 6th gear is like a double over drive. But the 327 would be a cooler piece in that shop truck!

Re: Extreme Powder Coating '65 C-10 Shop Truck
This is a real nice start, kart34. I am along for the ride. I would go with the 327 for this build and send me the LS.

Re: Extreme Powder Coating '65 C-10 Shop Truck
66 C-10 Project next one in line / also scored a big back window cab cut
 20 inch Dodge steelies with 1970 nova poverty cap undecided if we will use these or not. The bolt pattern kinda sucks and the rims are very heavy. I am having Delmo work on some pricing on those slick Centerlines Smoothies. Last edited by kart34; 11-25-2010 at 01:47 PM. |

Re: Extreme Powder Coating '65 C-10 Shop Truck
Thanks Guys ... Just got back from Lakeside Rods and Rides. Roger Burman and crew have done a very impressive job on the 61 Impala dash install .
The center console is about finished and the engine turned door and kick panels are next. The engine turned dash insert looks killer with the Classic Instrument pinstriped gauges . Photos comming soon !
