67 C10 SWB Build - Page 4 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Hi Tom & thank you for your comments. The silver is the 2011 Corvette ZR1 "Blade Silver Metallic". It is crazy bright in the sun & I look forward to seeing it in daylight once the sun starts shining in Michigan again!
The tank was built by Boyd Welding in Ocala, FL. I dealt with Dan there and they were very knowledgable and great to deal with. They make a very nice product and will put whatever size fittings you want on the tank. (352-447-2405) We did not have to do any trimming at all, just mounted it right up.
Good luck with your build!

I need to wait and see the houndstooth covers and see how they look. I don't really like the vinyl covers with the original patterns, so if I don't like the houndstooth covers, I will need to find another option.

ok...I won't mention the buddy buckets again....although I did see member Hart_rod have cupholder built in the center seat on his buddy buckets...just saying

The truck looks beautiful. I won't ask what the body work cost, but whatever the price was, your body man earned it. It looks very straight and the gaps look awesome.

The wood bed is beautiful. Nice touch on the SS stripes. IMO, the hood and tailgate would look awesome with some ghost stripes to tie it together.

chaseman17 · 03-16-2012, 04:13 PM

Work continues. The plumbing is done, wiring is close, need to get the instruments in & a variety of details before trying to fire it up. Hoping to get it started late next week.
Thank you for the encouragement!

chaseman17 · 03-20-2012, 05:50 PM

I had a few parts that I have not been able to find anywhere, so I thought I would check out a salvage yard I had heard about on the net. Quite a good selection of 67-72 trucks and I found the 3 parts I needed!

gcburdic · 03-20-2012, 08:54 PM

so what did ya pick up at the junkyard?

Hey G- pretty boring stuff, but items I could not find anywhere... A bolt that connects the brake booster shaft to the brake pedal, a rubber shift linkage grommet & a firewall grommet that goes under the gas pedal.

Thanks for your comments, I appreciate it. I went with a radiator from Entropy Radiator in Illinois. (www.entropyrad.com) Seems like it is going to work well. We had to do some minor adjustments to the lower supports, but nothing serious.

darkhorse970 · 03-21-2012, 09:55 PM

WOW, your truck looks great! I can't believe that I havent seen your build before now. Theres several silver trucks coming together on here lately. Very cool!

Thanks for the information, that is the company I was considering using for a radiator.

chicguy · 03-23-2012, 12:38 AM

cool! nice and straight

67_ShortFleet · 03-23-2012, 09:46 AM

Nice work!

Tinkermc · 03-23-2012, 08:13 PM

looks like you do purdy work and you take good pictures,too.

Seventy Two · 03-24-2012, 08:53 AM

Looks real good!

wild4wheels · 03-25-2012, 11:23 AM

Living vicariously thru you .. looks great .. but I'm totally jealous

chaseman17 · 04-01-2012, 07:49 PM

Well, after a complete rebuild and a 1.5 year slumber, we fired up the engine this week. It was great to hear the sounds of a fresh engine and the rumble of new exhaust! Feeling like yet another corner has been turned in this project...

On another note, my son and I came across a 63 Pontiac Grand Prix that was just too clean to pass up. It was repainted a few years ago and never completed. The owner passed away so we purchased it with the intent of getting it finished up and having a nice driver. (I added one quick photo of it after we got it home)

gcburdic · 04-02-2012, 09:23 AM

Ummmmm...the sound of a fresh BB

What's the "on/off" switch to the left of the bezel for??

That GP looks really nice too....

chaseman17 · 04-02-2012, 09:52 AM

Hey Geoff.
We don't have a key start on this truck. We went with an old school push button starter in place of the key, so the toggle acts as the accessory power. You must flip up the switch to give power to the push starter. To stop the truck from running, you simply put the switch into the "off" position. There is a hidden key switch as well that will kill power to the toggle if I am somewhere that I need to be sure nobody can start it.
Thanks for the comment on the GP. We are excited about it. My son has taken the lead on this one and is doing the bulk of the work.

chaseman17 · 04-10-2012, 08:54 PM

Got the bed & the glove box on tonight. The bed is not fastened down, but it sure is nice to see it look like a complete truck again. Progress....!

trkfrk · 04-10-2012, 09:20 PM

Very clean build... Great color choice.

longbed67 · 04-10-2012, 10:34 PM

Nice work! Super clean! And those panels look straight as an arrow!

**67cheby** · 04-11-2012, 10:25 AM

WOW VERY NICE JOB...sorry i just now caught up !

gcburdic · 04-11-2012, 11:53 AM

I bet that glovebox was a pain in the arse

Looking really nice Chase!!!
