Not enough vacum with this cam, I'd need to put in a vacum pump or reservoir. Will put in a oversized willwood master cylinder to run 4 wheel disc brakes. I could do a Hydro boost setup, but would have to have a pwr steering pump, dont want to run anything but the alernator.

Re: 1967 c10 lwb resto-mod
 

Well if everything goes well my dad and i will be taking out the interior this weekend to see how bad the floor pans are...and the tubular big block engine mounts should be here any time now :)

Re: 1967 c10 lwb resto-mod
 

that great we will need pics

Re: 1967 c10 lwb resto-mod
 

My dad and i got the big block motor mounts, now we are just waiting for the 700r4 shift kit and torque converter and the transmission mount and we can put the big block in and have a little fun before we blow it apart this fall for body work

Re: 1967 c10 lwb resto-mod
 

Here is some pics of the bed minus the original wood bed. Also there is the 700r4 transmission mount, big block motor mounts and the beast in the garage. :devil:

Re: 1967 c10 lwb resto-mod
 

We had to modify the frame so the big block motor mounts would work. Also have engine mock up pics

Re: 1967 c10 lwb resto-mod
 

Its been a while since i have updated...we took off the front clip and got a donor truck, which turned out to be very rare but not worth it because of bill of sale and condition but it has a lot of parts we needed. We are gonna start cutting out the parts from the other truck and then replace them etc.

From another Iowan, very cool! :metal: :metal: Funny after you linked up your sig, I read this post and you dropped a 454 block in your build. That's what I might have lined up for mine :metal:

Re: 1967 c10 lwb resto-mod
 

wow your still working on it and still have it cool!

Re: 1967 c10 lwb resto-mod
 

big block looks right at home there ;)

Re: 1967 c10 lwb resto-mod
 

With our roller rockers we had to get extra tall valve covers so the only thing we had to modify besides the frame for the aftermarket motor mounts was the the heater box...and that was extremely minor btw nothing sounds better than a built big block :)

WARNING: The following pictures might make some of you cringe lol. You have been warned.

Re: 1967 c10 lwb resto-mod
 

These are the pics that will probably make you cringe.

Re: 1967 c10 lwb resto-mod
 

Also I thought I would get some pics of my dad using the plasma cutter lol

Re: 1967 c10 lwb resto-mod
 

well my jaw was open the whole time....

Re: 1967 c10 lwb resto-mod
 

Luckily that was the parts truck...little blue is safe in the garage lol

Re: 1967 c10 lwb resto-mod
 

Rockcrusher deal fell through, the guy was told he had a M22...turned out to be a SM465, not a bad transmission, just not one to speed shift...will stick with 700R4 for now

Re: 1967 c10 lwb resto-mod
 

Your Father doesn't mess around. :metal:

Re: 1967 c10 lwb resto-mod
 

We cut up the frame (it was rotten in quite a few spots), the section that we kept is going to be a cab dolly, the i beams will be bolted onto the frame and then we're gonna add some heavy duty casters to the bottom of the i beams, then all we have to do is bolt the cab back into the cab mounts. Then we are keeping the front suspension so we can build it up and once we get the frame sandblasted and painted we will put it on.

Re: 1967 c10 lwb resto-mod
 

The pictures show my dad doing some welds on our new cab dolly made with some i beams my dad got from work and part of the chassis from our parts truck. The last pic is an "as she sits" picture and throughout the week we will be disassembling things from the cab so we can take the cab off and get to cracking on the chassis.
