Wow, you should be very proud of yourself for this truck! It looks like it was done right and will last for a long time. Job well done. You have given me the motivation to get off my butt and in the garage. Thanks for the link to your build. I really like this site all the posts and information.

Sweet truck. Can you tell me the wheel width and tire size?

thanks

Nice ride! I'm thinking about getting a set of those wheels since my '68 has somewhat of a hot rod look to it.

These wheels were a huge hit at the starbird car show last weekend in tulsa, everyone that looked at the truck loved the wheels. The truck also won top 5 in its class. ( 1949-1969 truck )

I put on some new PML valve covers, sanderson coated headers, and ran the plug wires underneath.

Congrats on the Top 5 win.
Definitely deserving of the award!

I also got my a/c, heater hoses ran and the a/c charged.
When I filled the firewall I put my bulkhead for the a/c-heater hoses as far to the right side as I could, so I could hide my hoses under the pass fender.

I never liked the seat covers I originally had on the buddy buckets, so I changed them to these.

Thanks Keith, I really appreciate that.

[gearys 5600]

I have a new air cleaner at the powder coater, I will post pics when I get it back and mounted.

I really dont like the k&n kit thats on it now.

[Cameron 1137]

Very nice, i am definitely leaning towards a set of PML covers when the time comes.

[67cheby]

i have been watching those valve covers for some time....lusting over them !! Truck is simply stunning, love everything about it !

[67cheby]

[RexDodge]

You sir, are an excellent craftsman! WOW, what a nice job you have done on this truck! Do you have any details on the a/c kit you installed?

[mcbassin]

Love the bulkhead connection and seat covers! Very clean.

Thanks for the compliments. If you decide you want some pml covers, I can save you a little bit of $$ on them.

3.42 gears, yes it has a th700 trans with a shift kit and corvette servo, The engine is stock besides the headers, and a fastchip ecm, I bumped the timing up a couple of degrees and thats it. It runs pretty good for what it is.

my last few cars I built were big cubic inch, street/strip cars that run high 9 second 1/4 mile times. without any power adders and a single 4bbl carb. So after driving those type of cars around, this truck seems like a turd !! LOL

I really enjoy getting in the truck and being able to drive it anywhere and get 18 mpg with the a/c blowing.

Thank you very much..I cant take ALL the credit, I had the help of a couple of good friends along the way.

The a/c is a vintage air brand gen 2 system. I actually bought it several years back for another project and never used it until now. I used a street rod style bulhead and a G.M compressor.

Thanks! I appreciate the help. I'll be watching your thread!

Wow! what a nice build. Good call on the seats, the old setupwas a little too busy. I am a huge fan of the color. In fact, it's the same color I am planning on using on my shortbox.

well, mine sounds almost exactly the same , i do have an Edelbrock intake and the Holley TBI, and 3.73 gears, i am interested to see how it will run and drive, i think i will be happy , mainly looking for dependability but i dont want it to be gutless either..maybe 100 shot of NOS, LOL
