Re: My '67 Fleetside C10 renew
I knew it would be a crap shoot. Was originally an I6. I bought '67 V8 stands then decided to go clam-shell. The stands I have now are square body. I also ditched the cast bell housing and cross member and went to a square body trans cross member. From there I chucked it all together for the best fit I could but figured I'd be whittlin once I got to this point. Angle finder on the motor shows about 6 degrees relative to the chassis centerline. I figure I can drop the motor an inch or better, which should get me closer to 3 degrees and hopefully a bunch more clearance at the collector.

Re: My '67 Fleetside C10 renew
I noticed in the info on the headers it stated:
1967-91 Vehicles: Part# 69090 & 69230 may require removal of Rubber Snubber mounted on right side frame rail w/ 3bolt bracket, to complete installation. ........... I believe this would tilt the motor down enough for clearance. Link to the page I read here ~~~~~>http://www.jegs.com/i/Hedman/500/69010/10002/-1 although yours are 69010, correct. I'd try every which way before cutting the header cause that'll void the lifetime warranty. Rootin for ya. You'll get it. Its probably not an option on this build but you know I'd have that floor hacked up by now. Mmmmmmmmm hackin' |

Re: My '67 Fleetside C10 renew
Hi Jlsanborn. Your truck is taking shape.
I am going to be coming down that way and was wondering if you know of any sheet metal suppliers in the area? I'm considering buying a complete floor pan. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks and hope you get the header issue sorted out. |

![]() ![]() For my stands I simply match drilled a plate to the clam shell mount, bolted them together and welded the nuts on the backside. I used good OEM flanged ones and welded them good. Put those back on the motor, jockeyed it around till I was happy, then cut the right shape "wedges" to get them onto the front member. It's all 3/16" material and once I'm sure it's all where I want it I'll weld it home. I had to clearance the driver's frame rail a little and it looks like hell in the pics. I was just smoking little bits off until it fit and I'll go back and clean that up straight like with radiuses. That's as far as I got when the Boy blew the S10 ("Punching-Bag" Thanks Chip!) apart in there for his new heads. Got that finished up around 1 friggen thirty this morning! I'll throw a few pics up on Stupid Move, maybe a burnout vid... He's got some cleaning to do then I'll build me a cross member!

Re: My '67 Fleetside C10 renew
It's been slow on the truck lately but I did stuff today. I jacked up the trans to the location I want and got measurements for a cross member that I'll be building here soon. I tossed the seat back in and mounted the shifter to see how that was all going to be with the new motor location. Everything looks good and the shifter feels perfect. It's FUN to row through the gears with that Hurst shifter! I cut apart my previous "stretchy job" on the hump and got it back to where it was. I had to patch where I cut the pinch weld out then goobered it up with seam sealer. I got the cab and bed back on the dollies and am picking up materials for the cross member tomorrow. Now to finish up my engine stands then I'm onto exhaust. I think I'm going to order up some Flowmaster Super 10 Series, offset/offset in a 2-1/2 and maybe some balance pipe fittings and hanger hardware.

Looking good John, after looking at the bed again it's impossible to tell it had been shortened. Nice work!

I picked up some tubing and flat bar to build the trans cross member yesterday but when I got home the Boy had another truck tore to $hit in the shop. I helped with that circus so no project work. I'm gonna try and get out there tonight and build something!

Re: My '67 Fleetside C10 renew
Eeks! Looks like that says "trimix". I have the ER308L wire. I prolly can't justify a new bottle just to weld four tubes..... I'm using the CO2/argon blend now. Maybe worth a try?
