Project "Never Again" will I rebuild a perfectly good truck - Page 5 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

chapster · 03-25-2012, 12:29 PM

I have not completely decided on the dash but I am leaning towards keeping stock configuration now that the New carbon fibre Dakota Digital gauges are out.

chapster · 03-25-2012, 01:02 PM

Above is also the install of the cam, springs and seal pics.

Also picked up a original owner parts truck that has some goodies with it. The stepside fenders were removed at 10000 km's and hung in a barn.

**67cheby** · 03-25-2012, 02:02 PM

Wow great score

Ya I picked it up for a $100.00 but he wants the frame back for a hay wagon....lol

Now I don't know which box to go with. I finally had decided to go with a fleet but now I have a set of really nice steps.....

Gotta say- your attention to detail and parts selection is abso-freakin-lutely amazing. The rear meats are just disgustingly kick-a$$! Love everything you've done so far.

BTW- If you aren't going to use the side trim on your parts truck, let me know- I'd be interested in "acquiring" them.

**67cheby** · 03-26-2012, 09:40 AM

thats a tough call with that nice a set of step fenders....

Ya you are telling me, I find myself collecting more parts than actually working on the project.

I also have a 66 frame that is powder coated with new bushings and front end components which was intended to be converted over for a parts truck to fund my parts.

It seems it may turn into project #2. I didn't want to go there as it takes money away from the main build but these C10's are an addiction....lol

Thanks Dingfodgy, I will keep you in mind on the trim.

Looks like this will be the new front pulley set I have decided to run. What do you guy's think?

mcbassin · 04-03-2012, 11:11 PM

Very cool project!

68GMCCustom · 04-03-2012, 11:24 PM

I like the pulley setup....not much for the air filter.

Ya I agree, the air cleaner is not working for me either.

I will be running the stock LS2 EFI corvette style intake with stainless tube to free flowing air cleaner providing I can. It was suggested to me that I might have to run a the fast intake with that pulley system, hope not.

**Dieselwrencher** · 04-04-2012, 07:25 PM

Those pulleys are super nice!

chapster · 04-06-2012, 12:02 AM

Well, still looking for the rest of the info. but it turns out I cannot use the Pro Track pulley kit with the factory Electronic TB. It took me 3 months to decide on a system. Arrggg!

Still waiting to see if a fast intake will work.

really nice looking engine ,,almost to clean to use ,,,put it in a glass box and just show it off ,,lol,,,cool build

chapster · 04-06-2012, 09:29 AM

That picture above is from the March performance sight. I was just indicating the front pulley kit I was hoping to use. If anyone has information on fitment with stock TB please chime in.

longbed67 · 04-06-2012, 09:52 AM

How have I missed this build until now! I do like the pulley set up but with as much show quality items that are going into this build would it look better in polished over brushed?

chapster · 04-06-2012, 11:56 AM

I was looking at polished and black but they do not do that for the Pro Track. If I cannot run the Pro track with my set up I may go to the full polished Style Track system because it doesn't look as good in Black oynx / alum. mix.

The_BullDog · 05-16-2012, 06:28 AM

Looks great! really like the flush front window mod.

Bennett68C10 · 06-28-2012, 03:50 PM

Any updates on this one, have you decided what Bed your going to run.
Posted via Mobile Device

chapster · 07-15-2012, 11:54 PM

Not much to update Bennett, I am now back on my feet again from on going medical issues the last couple of years but I am determined to finish this dam truck if it is the last thing I do.......lol

Not decided on the bed yet as it seems so far away. I did work out all the confusion on the March Pro Track black oynx pulley kit and now have it in the parts pile.

Next thing I need to determine is if I can run the No Limit R & P with my Porterbuilt arms & swaybar. I am to far along to go to an aftermarket crossmember but would love to upgrade to R & P.

hot trux · 07-16-2012, 08:08 AM

nice build!!!!

Ls68 · 07-16-2012, 12:49 PM

nice looking good

chapster · 07-17-2012, 06:22 PM

Just ordered No Limits Rack and Pinion and a longer set of links for my Porterbuilt swaybar.

A big thanks to Rob, Nate & Dave for helping me determine fitment.

Ls68 · 07-17-2012, 06:59 PM

I like your wheel set up just rite not to wide out back how much did you narrow you axel to fit those wheels.
