Project 67 C-10

[67-C10]

Well was a long weekend but pulled out the engine, tranny, engine harness and the dbw pedal and module. Anyone know what else I need before I send this truck to the scrap yard? Was trying to figure out how to fish the obd connector out of the cab harness.

Im in on this swap how about some pics?

Well 1 year later......Married and more house stuff, started building fishing rods to relax,... but back on the truck. Cleaned the old girl off and got most all the parts finally in one place at my house. I do miss the honeymoon at sandals though. Think i gained 10 lbs.

Started working on mocking up the engine with the LS adapters and ran into a snag. The plates hit the stock ac bracket, but nothing a sharpie and a sawzall couldn't fix. A little persuasion but only lost one rib of the support so should be still strong enough. Also the Moroso adapter plates seemed backwards. If you put them in the sides they were marked it ended up having the poly mounts upside down from everything i've seen. Swapped sides and they seem to fit better. Oh well, doubt anyone ever going to try and read the writing on them.

what kind of rods do you build?

[67-C10]

Saltwater primarily. My father built a bunch back in the day and they were all getting to the point of needing fixing so i built a bench and roller setup for doing them with a sewing machine motor for wrapping and made a dryer setup with a cpu heat sink. Been rebuilding some of my buddies rods too. Just finished up this one and added the 42 weave into it with all new guides and red/gold trim bands and new cork.

[67-C10]

Well been messing with the wiring harness and trying to marry the 5.3 engine harness with the painless setup. Figured the better way was to get the LS in the truck and then I can figure out lengths of everything. So world d on dropping the engine in this afternoon. Will get ao.e more pics up just can't from the phone.

[67-C10]

Well been working here and there on the 67 and making some headway. I think this may be the most body parts that have been assembled on it at one time since I've had it. Also swapped in the '71 5 lug rear end i got a few years back instead of the hacked together '88 that i welded on perches to. Also the painless harness is in it now.

[67-C10]

Was looking around the other day and stumbled across Hezies 69 camaro bumper he sectioned and straightend and loved it. My father called me today while he was at the swap met and found one for cheap so now i have that to try and match. It's one of the things that makes me not like stepsides with the bumper hanging so far out but this tucks them up nice and close to the body.

[67-C10]

Tonight I worked on my DBW pedal and was able to mount the 71-72 pad on the 03 silverado assembly. I thought I saw someone had done it but what it actually was the pad on the corvette pedal assembly is the same and you can just put on the trim ring from a 71. What I did was bore out the 71 pad to .250" and then grinded down the top of the pedal shaft till it would slide all the way on. Then dropped in a slot for the spring to sit below so the pedal will sit flush with the assembly arm. Think it came out not to bad.

[67-C10]

Picked up some seats last weekend at the junkyard. 05 Mercury Mariner leather heated buckets and a flip down center console out of a 06 dodge ram with storage and an extra seat. All fits pretty well inside the cab and plenty of room.

[67-C10]

Picked up a windstar fan but its not fitting too well. Moved the motor back to the rear 6 cylinder holes tonight and have the clearance now but think it's still too close to the big fan motor that sticks out of them. Went by the junkyard and measured a few different options and threw them into cad to see what fits best.

Awesome build going! I live in Taunton too and just got a 68 c10 with a longbed stepside a few months ago. Been going through it the past few weeks. Looking for some parts for it if you have spare parts youd wanna part with, need a grille and such. My stepfather has a 01 silverado with a 5.3 and no reverse and the 5.3 swap has crossed my mind but not sure if i want to deal with that lol

[67-C10]

Started work on the gauge cluster install. Picked up a GMC envoy dash. I like it better than the silverado with its chrome bezels around the gauges and a round tach gauge that goes to 7k.

[David67]

Really nice build! I like that Camaro bumper idea too. I've been thinking about doing something along those lines. I don't think I could go back to the big goofy stocker.

[67-C10]

Have to work on figuring the fitment on the cluster with a new plexi face. i cut down the front of the bezel so its all the same level now. Also got the steering column mounted with the brackets.

[67-C10]

Been running some data collection from the HVAC panel and the gauge cluster from the silverado. trying to figure out out some messages to send it back from the arduino board to get the ac request working but doesn't seem to be happy with the missing sensors. Gonna run some scans on buddy's. In good times though got my cts oil pan in the mail as well as my headers from speed enginering. Fit like a glove and are nicely built.

[67-C10]

Well those 5 Years have flown by, 2 kids and built a big garage. I think I'm finally back to working on this again. Picked up a L96 6.0 and 6l90e.

Also went to the Bruins vs. Canadiens game back in February. Best game i've ever been to. 182 penalty minutes and even a golie fight well kinda.

So here you go. I've been spending to much time nit picking at things but have finally come tp the realization that these were trucks from the 60's and were meant to be trucks, not show pieces. So anyways got the bedsides all stripped and found out the mig gas tanks ere filled again and started filling in the bedsides. Post holes and front and rear caps on the rails. Also cut the latches off and filled in. Not to bad for self taught fabber.

So are you keeping the hole in the outer cowl panel? I welded mine up, just something for some one to vandalize. I am going with an internal amplified antenna...I mostly stream Sirius XM from my phone anyway.

I'm probably going to weld that up and run an internal as well. They've gotten alot better over the years.

[67-C10]

Got a wrecked box truck for the 6.0 swap. Gen iv L96. VVT but no dod to have to delete. And I got a shed out of it. Also got my air hose holder and tailgate bench squared away.

[67-C10]

Well out with the 5.3 and in with the 6.0. Very productive afternoon.

[67-C10]

Headers are on and need to work on transmission crossmember. Could make one but flat tube is going to run into the headers. Also picked up an engine cover at the u-pull yard.

[67-C10]

Picked up most of the new bed and somewhat assembled. Waiting on some missing hardware.

[FRENCHBLUE72]

Just getting on board here great build so far.....
