Re: 68' Chevy c10
Nice detail on the truck, it will be something to be proud of.
What type of paint did you use for the heater box? Looks good!

Re: 68' Chevy c10
On your sm420 is there a pto port on the passenger side? also is there a sensor with two wires on the top of the casing?

Re: 68' Chevy c10
Just wanted to post an update. had a some set backs lately, but not so much with the truck. first I found out the company I work for is being sold, and all employees have to re-apply. some of us will no longer have a job there. also lost my storage space so I have to find somewhere to put @ 30 ice machines.
![]() once painted I think It will look good. Oh also have to get a new vac. advance, the one I have isn't working.

Re: 68' Chevy c10
Are you going to put any heat shields near those headers? Maybe it is just the pics but those wires look dangerously close! A guy I know, his cutlass went up in smoke when his headers started the wires on fire which led to the whole car burning up

Re: 68' Chevy c10
Thanks for the heads up on the wires. the pics make it look like they lay right on the headers, but only a couple wires are @ 1/2" away. the rest are farther. Do you know what the min. safe distance is?

Re: 68' Chevy c10
I don't what is considered a safe distance... I would call the manufacturer of the wires find out what yours are rated at for temp and ask them. I usually just make a heat shield out of sheet metal that the wires can lay on to keep them away from the headers. I have also used thermal boots near the ends that are already sewn to accommodate the 90* bend.
BTW-that propane heater you have in the last pic is awesome. My buddy got one for his garage when we are there working and it heats things up super fast!
