both have speakers in truk.

kick panels

door panels

Cape Codder · 08-22-2013, 02:40 PM

I like the high mounted door speakers as I find your legs and the seat block the sound If mounted down low.

BIG10SILVERADO · 08-30-2013, 12:31 PM

A little update on some interior work.

Rebuilt the factory gauge cluster. Before and after shot

Work done on the Kick panels and rear gas tank cover/speaker box

Here's a pick of the test box I made ( in about 5 minutes)for the front kick panel box. Since there's not alot of air space I have decided to port the front kick panels. I made the test box to find out what the best hz to tune the port to. And the speaker sounds really nice ported much deeper and more filling sound.

Nice job on the speedo!

Any chance of a tutorial on how you did it?

Kim57 · 08-30-2013, 04:52 PM

Looking good.
The speedo came out real nice.

I got the a little update on the old pickup.

Getting interior together. Also sound deadened the whole cab. Still need to install the kick and door panels.

Got the windshield in and I did some more work on the "patina" of the truck. I couldn't tell you how many hours I have in the paint job and still working on it.

Had some time and got the engine together. It's a stock impala 327 SS 275hp engine.

papastrk · 10-28-2013, 04:25 PM

Looks great. Is it a powerglide?

BIG10SILVERADO · 10-28-2013, 04:44 PM

It was a 4 speed engine and I have a adapter plate and I'm running a turbo 400.

AZ59apacheguy · 10-28-2013, 05:45 PM

Can I ask what size tires you are running? Thanks

dubie · 10-29-2013, 09:30 AM

i think you did the truck a lot of justice by working that patina finish a little more. Now it looks the way it should. Isn't it amazing how much time you can put into a paint job like this? Had you just left it blue, you could have spent all this other time and energy else where on the truck. But it's worth it.

Looks good buddy!!!

Baldeagle SR · 01-05-2014, 05:53 PM

any updates? How did your door panels come out? Thanks Rich

I've checked your build out numerous times. Man this thing looks good, I love the color and how you aged it. Your speaker boxes are coming out great. Can't wait to see all the kick and door panels done. Motor looks great too!!

dubie · 01-06-2014, 10:25 AM

I'm not sure how much we'll be seeing of him anymore. He sold this truck and picked up a 67 or 68 Camaro convertible project car.

BIG10SILVERADO · 01-10-2014, 11:01 AM

Sorry for not updating y'all on the truck just been busy with other projects. Here is the completed interior, I did all the work my self.

BIG10SILVERADO · 01-10-2014, 11:10 AM

Some more

BIG10SILVERADO · 01-10-2014, 11:12 AM

And Dubie is right I did sell the truck and buy a new project, my dream car 67 camaro convertible

blue57 · 01-10-2014, 11:26 AM

I really like the kick panels

papastrk · 01-10-2014, 11:27 AM

Wow! Nice find. I would have hated to let the truck go though, but a guy can't keep them all.

Here's the kicker on the camaro, all original, numbers matching with a 250ci 6 cyl and a 3 speed on the column. They only made 5,250 camaro convertibles in 67 with a 6 cyl.

Sam03 · 01-10-2014, 12:02 PM

Dam your truck is nice. When does the camaro build start?
