Re: 68 C 10 stepside "My American Bulldog"
In an earlier post, I said that I found my donor motor to be a create motor.
And that it only had a few months of use, Before being parked. If there were any doubts in my mind, Of the motor being very low miles, They are gone now!!!! I opened the top end of the motor, Because I'm installing a new cam, And rockers. What I saw was the cleanest motor I have ever tore apart. The only wear I saw, was some build up around a warming port, Where the gasket wasn't sealed properly. Spike ![]()

Re: 68 C 10 stepside "My American Bulldog"
I went with a cam from "Sealed Power ZCS"
It wasn't one of the brands that I've used before. But it had the specs I was wanting. Hydraulic Flat Tappet, Duration 194/203 At .050 in. Lift Plus a set of 1.5 to 1 roller rockers. Edlebrock Performer intake, And a Holley 600cfm 4 barrel. I'm browsing threw my Summit Racing catalog, For a better timing chain setup, And some dress up items. Spike ![]()

http://www.summitracing.com/parts/SAG-PA5855/ There are supposed to slip right into 65 - 69, You can even use them in a 63, Or 64 rearend, If you change the spider gears. Mine are still not here ![]() (ETA 1/08/11) I'm also going to Impala disc brakes in the rear. But for drums, It should be like a factory fit. I'll be sure to post any info I can, When I get mine Spike ![]()

Re: 68 C 10 stepside "My American Bulldog"

Are the quality of these axles up to par with say, conversion axles from ECE? I appreciate the info man! You just saved me $!!! I cant wait to be able to carry 1 spare instead of 2 (6lug rear,5lug front). Let me know when you get yours with pix!!!!!!!!!
