Re: Slick Copper's Build Thread
Took these today! Don't know if you noticed but it is turned around! Drove it up the street and back, but after it warmed up, it started running bad.
Covered it up. Just for the heck of it.

Re: Slick Copper's Build Thread
IT LIVES!!!!! BWAH HA HA HA!!!!
![]() Now I'm trying to figure out the radiator. Bought a new one today via AutoZone, and it's the bigger four core radiator with built in tranny cooler. Which'll be nice, but trying to figure out how to make it fit, it's bigger than the original stocker. Was hoping to be driving it around by now, but guess I'm gonna have to wait. Anyone know an easy fix? Swap out brackets? ![]()

Re: Slick Copper's Build Thread
Cool! Congratulations!!!
I cannot be 100% sure but you could should be able to use the 4 core factory upper and lower brackets.

Re: Slick Copper's Build Thread
Thanks! Yeah, that's what it's looking like. Also probably a new fan spacer as well, the fan is only 1/8 - 1/4 inch away from the new huge radiator!!

As promised!
So glad to get it running! Just ordered my new radiator support brackets from LMC truck. Couldn't find any used ones, so got new ones on the way! I just pray they're of good quality! I think I'll have to post these pics on the straight six thread too!

Re: Slick Copper's Build Thread
Great job on the engine bay! I'd try to get it running better before swapping more out, because it's harder to diagnose once you have more things thrown into the mix. That being said, the carb could be one thing causing you issues...so it could end up being worth it to do the swap...

Re: Slick Copper's Build Thread
BTW someone told me it wasn't a good idea to have my glass fuel filter right above my exhaust manifold. It's not sitting right on it, it's about 2 inches up from it. Anyone think this is actually a problem? And why?

Re: Slick Copper's Build Thread
heat could shatter the glass bowl and fuel would leak evrywhere and could potentially start a fire

Re: Slick Copper's Build Thread
Got me one of those fancy memberships!
![]() ![]() But for now I'll go on and say I got a set of 6 lug rallies 15x8 up for sale with the trim rings for $60 plus whatever shipping. I have polished the rings they look nice, the wheels are solid, just need a little cleanup/paint. Didn't want to paint them 'cause someone might want a different color! Also have a 67 SWB parts/project c-10 body and frame up for sale. Asking $1,000 and includes many spare parts. Will be taking pics and posting wherever I'm supposed to.
