Re: !965 Chevy C-10 Take 2: Project Tanya
Your new exhaust looks pretty much like what I cobbled together on Saturday, I'm not happy with one part I rushed tho so I have to re do it. Is yours also 2 inch pipe? I was surprised how nice the glass pack sounds on the inline 6.

Re: !965 Chevy C-10 Take 2: Project Tanya
Yes mine is a 2" pipe all the way back, with a Thrush glasspack. I had a shop bend my downpipe, and make a 45 degree bend for the tailpipe for me. I did all the cutting and fitting myself. Not too bad for a redneck with $45 in parts and a 20 spot to the exhaust shop guy. I just have to get my down pipe shortened a little and I'm good to go. I agree, these inline 6 engines sound awesome with a glasspack and straight pipe.

Re: !965 Chevy C-10 Take 2: Project Tanya
Well, she is still in the shop. I got the HEI and new carb tuned in enough to be driveable, but I still have quite a ways to go. She is really rough running and acts like she wants to die on idle (and sometimes will). Got a few other things in the works as well. There is a small local car show coming up in a week, and I am trying to get a bunch of things done on her before the show. Pulled the grill back off because one of the headlight adjusters popped out of place, and that has turned into a full headlight modification. At the same time I started sanding more of the primer off to reveal the original paint and patina still alive underneath. Hopefully I can get her all done and cleaned up before next weekend. Pics

Re: !965 Chevy C-10 Take 2: Project Tanya
Been awhile since this thread was updated. Have you checked for vac leaks? Does this motor have decent compression? What's the idle speed set at?
With an hei and rebuilt carb I can't think of much that would make these motors run rough. Mine is worn all to hell and even with all the smoke still runs smooth. Posted via Mobile Device

Re: !965 Chevy C-10 Take 2: Project Tanya
Well, I got all of the sanding done for now. She didn't turn out quite like I had hoped, so I will probably throw a little paint on her that I have around here. But at least she looks different for the upcoming show. I started to warm her up a little bit to do some tuning on the ignition and induction systems, but then realized how late it was and that I had to close up to get ready for work tonight. Hopefully tomorrow I will be able to get her smoothed out and running proper. Even with the way she runs now, she is a whole lot stronger than she was before. Maybe it is just me, maybe I'm odsessing over a problem that doesn't exist.... oh well, I will know tomorrow for sure.

Re: !965 Chevy C-10 Take 2: Project Tanya
Spent some time and got her running a little better, but I am still far from happy. The linkages in the throttle are all worn out and held together with bailing wire. I have to put my put under the throttle rod in the cab and pull to get it to drop below 2000 RPMs whenever I am in neutral. Still chuggs like crazy and stumbles all over itself at an idle. Smooths out decently under acceleration, but just doesn't sound right to me...maybe I'm too used to V8s. I need to do a compression test, but that will have to wait until after the car show this weekend. No vaccuum leaks, and the carb seems to be working fine with no leaks....the only thing left is an issue with the engine. On the bright side, a really good friend of mine picked up some pinstriping supplies and is getting back into pinstriping. He wanted to get some practice, so I let him have some fun in the engine bay. Tanya got some tattoos,

Re: !965 Chevy C-10 Take 2: Project Tanya
OK, I felt a shift in power in the force at 1:17 AM and then saw you were using the "f" word in regard to Tanya....
![]() Dude... seriously... step away from the 460 and dont even think about it... ![]() Seriously..... My vote is a 65 caddillac truck... Pimp that old girl out in total luxury... air ride fashion... ![]() Or you could go the small block route... never see those in the trucks, right? ![]() ![]()

Re: !965 Chevy C-10 Take 2: Project Tanya
![]() Ya gotta admit though that running a Ferd big block would be unique.....of course controlled by a GM style HEI distributor and 1 wire alternator. I prefer the idea of using the Caddy 500 I have, but I guess time will tell how that turns out. There are only 3 reasons I mentioned and would consider using the SBC I have: 1. I would really like to start taking this truck out on the road and doing some long trips with it, a SBC would be the cheapest and easiest to find parts for should I break down. 2. It is a mid to late 60's block and still has the original heads on it that so many refer to as "fuelie" heads. 3. I have a perfectly good 700r4 sitting in my shop that I can use. It just need a different tailshaft housing (came from a 3rd gen Camaro). Other than that I have no real reason to use it. I just want to drive the thing, and not have to fight it to maintain highway speeds, or worry about weather or not it will mechanically make it there. |

Re: !965 Chevy C-10 Take 2: Project Tanya
Well if you are ever in this neck of the woods, gotta let you know, there is a no F word zone in my GM only build area..
![]() Just a thought... my 7,000 pound dually gets better than 20 MPH on the freeway with a 350 vortec.. If I ever went the SBC route, I would use that motor or a LS motor in a retrofit build...

"I felt a disturbance in the force..."
The use of Ford only leads to the dark side young padewan.

Re: !965 Chevy C-10 Take 2: Project Tanya
Went out to try and fire her up for a little drive.....and no start. This carb is junk, and I'm tired of messing with it. So I guess she sits until I can get the Caddy engine in, or I figure something else out.
