Re: 1967 Chevy CST aka "the loud truck"
If the 67 wasn't so low I would keep the stock truck pan, but since it's static dropped and I cant air it up if there's something in the road I would rather have the oil pan tucked up above the bottom of the crossmember so I decided to go with the ctsv pan. There's some other parts I'm going to use from the car LS motors instead of the truck to make it look cleaner/simpler under the hood as well.

Re: 1967 Chevy CST aka "the loud truck"
Alright so today I stopped by my local GM parts house and got the torque converter bolts and bellhousing bolts so I can get the motor and Trans mated. By the time I came back home UPS had already brought my oil pan "kit", yesterday I had already bought a new oil pan gasket and filter so I got all the torque specs for the oil pick up tube, windage tray, oil pan. I removed the stock pan and I was very pleased to see it was actually pretty clean in there, so I removed all the parts and installed the replacement parts on. Everything went pretty smooth. So I bolted the motor and Trans together and stuck them in the truck. Tomorrow I'm going to tighten all the bolts upandget the oil cooler gasket, my new ps didn't come with the oil cool delete bracket? Plate? Whatever you call that little cast aluminum ock off, so I'll have to reuse the one off my stock oil pan and get a new gasket.

Re: 1967 Chevy CST aka "the loud truck"
Rick, are you going to run the computer and injection with this?

Sounds like you're making headway. Have a great Christmas Rick.

Re: 1967 Chevy CST aka "the loud truck"
Thanks you Dale, I hope you have a great Christmas too. How has your k20 coming? It's been awhile since I heard anything about it.

Re: 1967 Chevy CST aka "the loud truck"
Thanks Rick, I'm parts rich for Blue... since I discovered that the frame was worse than I thought. I bought a rolling K20 frame a 71 C20 Cheyenne parts truck (that runs and I'm using it around the ranch) and a bunch of other parts. So I will start on it soon. I'm putting my girlfriend's 93 Pacetruck back together. We just had it painted and I've been getting my 97 Z71 dependable and since my K30 blew a motor coming back from the cabin. I've been building it a 454. Besides work I've been busy....plus making my famous apple pie (this years batch broke 105 proof) for the holidays. Going to the cabin and enjoying some snow for the first time in a few years. Did I bore you yet?

Re: 1967 Chevy CST aka "the loud truck"
Looks like all the trucks are getting attention! Hopefully the 97 doesnt put up too much of a fuss. I bet you'll have loads of fun with your apple pie up at the cabin haha

Re: 1967 Chevy CST aka "the loud truck"
Yeah, they're getting attention. The 97 I inherited, it's a low mileage truck that's been sitting. It's the most expensive free truck...lol. But I think I got it taken care of. It's been 3000 miles without a problem. This years pie is areal butt kicker and I'm already having funwith it. We had some at lunch at work yesterday and not a lot got done after that.....lol

Re: 1967 Chevy CST aka "the loud truck"
Hey Rick, nice to see a new LS motor going in your truck. I like the oil pan upgrade you did. I wish I had done that on mine too.
Couple of questions, Why aren't you keeping the stock fuel injection? What's with the AC bracket modification? Keep up the good work. Cheers |

As nice and well as the stock GM fuel injection is and though I feel capable enough to install the computer/harness/ fuel systems required to run FI, I just can't seem to get around the look of them under the hood. It's kind of hard to explain because there are many LS swapped c10's that retain the stock GM Fuel injection that I think are really nice trucks such as yours, I just always liked/wanted that vintage look for my 67, while still having updated components, and I figured if I ever went with an LS then I would try my best to make it still look old school and like a 60's small block, I'm just a fan of that look. I also figured I can still run fuel injection with the old school small block look later on which is probably more of a when then a if. The AC compressor bracket is clearances for my motor mount swap plates and motor mounts. |

Re: 1967 Chevy CST aka "the loud truck"
Ordered my MSD ignition controller. I'm not very fond of the mounting on the front of the intake, so I have another plan, going to build a bracket to mount it somewhere else on the motor. Pictures/progress to come

I think the look of a stock small/big block is really cool too. I had some bad experiences with carburetors in the past. That also swayed me to go fuel injection. There is no doubt about the popularity of the modern motors in these old truck too. They are everywhere....back when I started my build (2009) there weren't near as many of them. |

Re: 1967 Chevy CST aka "the loud truck"
Me and you have that in common, I started building the 67 in 2009, and I do agree reliability/drivability goes hand in hand with fuel injection. I remember when I started building my truck there were very very few LS swaps going on with these c10's

Re: 1967 Chevy CST aka "the loud truck"
Here's some pics of the bracket it's not super impressive or anything but it should get the job done, still need to prep the bracket and paint it semi gloss black to match all other brackets/pulleys witch the intake, carburetor, and original 67 air cleaner it should be a little in disguise still need to do the pink(power) and yellow (tach) wires and but for the most part it's going to work out fine.

Re: 1967 Chevy CST aka "the loud truck"
Today I went and bought new spark plugs and plug wires, new ones didn't come with the boot heat sheilds so looks like I'll be searching for a used set, I know there not really needed but I would feel more comfortable since I'm going to run headers. Going to get the intake and a new water pump next.

Baby steps = progress and progress eventually leads to completion

Re: 1967 Chevy CST aka "the loud truck"
Nice work on the truck. The LS will be a great power plant for you. Nice score on the more door! That will be a sweet ride!

Re: 1967 Chevy CST aka "the loud truck"
My list started at a decent size and then I started doing more research and then it spiraled out of control as per usual lol. Well all my part showed up today! Still waiting for the intake... Never again will I trust "more then 10 available" again! Well figures now I've got parts to make some progress but now it's raining... Tomorrow I'm going to stick the 67 back in the garage and try and get some work done.

Re: 1967 Chevy CST aka "the loud truck"
I like that you are attempting to keep an original look under the hood. That is not always easy with modern stuff. Especially 67 stuff.

Re: 1967 Chevy CST aka "the loud truck"
That's a nice pile of parts. We're supposed to be slammed pretty hard by this storm here. Expecting one to two feet of snow at my cabin. Your neck of the woods is getting hit hard too. I hope you can get it in and get some work done.
