Another lull in progress. Brake job and plugs on an '05 F150, bunch of other tickey-tack stuff on other projects, then I scored my new whip on Friday! Spent yesterday and today un-accessorizing and cleaning it up. '12 with 30k miles. Promise to get back on track with the build by this weekend. Got a few sheckles and will forge ahead.

I sure like the new one but I sure miss my old one too. I had it pretty dialed but it was becoming more work than I wanted to do with the big ticket items coming up. Trans was starting to trip out, motor sounded pretty clapped on cold start, CEL for CATs, rotten tailpipes, slip yolk trashed, interior getting pretty hashed, etc... supposed to be working on the truck titled above. The new one is getting a 2" leveling kit up front, losing the running boards and the "racing" billet fuel filler door - that's it!

Re: My '67 Fleetside C10 renew
Nice looking truck, John. We had a 2009 the same body style and color when we moved up to KC. Sold it when we decided to build the '68 and I bet I've missed it a thousand times. Very comfortable, quiet trucks with good power. Had a Nissan Titan before getting the Chevy and it couldn't stop worth a dern when pulling an RV. No problem for the Chebby though.

Re: My '67 Fleetside C10 renew
Thanks for the truck props boys! Although I'm suffrin' from a bad case of buyer's remorse, it is a sweet ride. Don't really like that four cylinder mode to save gas tho. Wonder if I can kill that?
See you made it over to Punching Bag Chip. We'll just keep that thread alive for the Blazer tales.

Looking good John. Nothing to be a shame of for buying that truck, it looks awesome. Nice work on the exhaust system.

Re: My '67 Fleetside C10 renew
Jason, I know exactly how you feel about buyers remorse. I have it so bad with my k5, I am about to put it up for sale. It just never connected with my soul! LOL and I have had it for a months and dumped 1000 into it already.

Re: My '67 Fleetside C10 renew
Nice truck you got there, you won't be disappointed with it. I love my 13 GMC and it's the same color as yours. I hated the 4 cylinder mode too, especially with exhaust so I used a Range Technology AFM delete. It works awesome and doesn't leave an imprint on your computer so it won't void your warranty.

Re: My '67 Fleetside C10 renew
Look up 150tunes.com. He did my harness and is right up the street from your work. They can turn all that crap off, and take out the timing retard on the low end so it feels like it's moving!

Everything I've read tells me to get it tuned. Timing, shifting, AFM, etc... but I don't wanna dink my warranty. I'll give them 150 dudes a hollah and see what they have to say.

Re: My '67 Fleetside C10 renew
So I'm about done screwing with the purdy truck. Put the leveling kit in and pulled the running boards. Scored that Range AFM delete doo-dad too. That thing is AWESOME. No more V4 mode and my MPG went UP by a tenth or more. Just gotta find the OEM filler door to replace the "racing" one...
Grabbed some rubber exhaust hangers and some 3/8" round bar to finish my exhaust. At this point I think I'm going to get some more pipe and make my way over, even if I only do a 1" notch. Also grabbed some aluminum plate to make my drop blocks / pinion angle adjusters. Thought I'd just zip them up with my jig saw and then use my belt sander to make the wedge shape... ![]() ![]()

Re: My '67 Fleetside C10 renew
Chassis is looking good. Nice work on the exhaust too. Chopping up that 1" plate is easy with the right tools. Good luck with your search for a machinist.

Re: My '67 Fleetside C10 renew
Whoof! Dude, 2" x 7" by 1/2" flat bar! Cut it at home with my Dewalt mini circular saw and a carbide blade with Neighbor Jay holding the WD-40. Make 8, have a truck shop bend the u-bolts ($18 each), whaaaa-la! Adjustable drop, easy peasy. I will say if you can get a drill press, it makes the 3/4" holes on 4 1/2" centers much easier. Nice chunk of Aluminum!

Re: My '67 Fleetside C10 renew
Got some U-bolts made. They're 2" longer and I'll cut/chamfer if needed once I'm settled on bocks. I used the Jet band saw at work and cut that plate into blocks too. It's a nice saw and is in good shape, just a bit small for what I needed to do. It got the job done but it was tough to hold the part rigid and it stalled pretty easy. They're closer to size than they were.

Re: My '67 Fleetside C10 renew
Looking good, John. One of my buddies has a small Jet bandsaw that's been used and abused for years. Missing a few parts here and there, but it still surprises me with what it can do if you nurse it along. Offer stands to finish them up if you hit the wall.

Re: My '67 Fleetside C10 renew
Had today off. Didn't know that until driving down to work and nobody was there
![]() Pulled the rear coils off to plan out a c-notch. What? My punkin is only about 3/4" from where the bed wood will be. I do a little searching on here, and yup, that's all you get. I ain't doin it. I've got 5" springs (CPP) and will have a little under an inch of block. We'll see how that goes. I still had some bits of the mandrel bend kit left so I started working my way over. Gotta grab some 4" pipe to get my exhaust through that member at the panhard.
