Looks nice! The stumbling issue sounds like something I've experienced on an old 283 15+ years ago. It turned out to be a vacuum leak between the carb and intake. It also idled high in park or neutral, but when put in gear it dropped pretty low.

Wow Dan. Truck looks AMAZING!

I really look forward to seeing it at the shows next season.

Thanks Duane... We have the stumbling fixed now but it is running real "FAT" now... Just blows smoke out of the pipes continuously... I really need a chassis Dyno...

Well Dan. You've gone and done it now. You have over built this truck. It has reached trailer queen level. The underside is just too pretty to actually drive it.

The thought of detailing it so well and then take a chance of getting road grime and rock chips under there is just too risky. Ya'll have done awesome work top to bottom. Congrats on this build man.
I agree it needs a bit of leveling yet. Maybe bring the front up that 1 1/2"?

Yeah it was a blast cruising this weekend... we got a total of about 300 miles on it this weekend... We debuted it at the C-10 BBQ in Wichita yesterday... My wife even drove it to meet me in Park City Yesterday... So she drove it about 70 miles herself... LOL

Right on brother... we are trying g to make it to Heartland Park Super Chevy Show the 22nd but I highly doubt we can get everything ironed out by then...

Elliot949 · 10-03-2016, 08:15 PM

Well we got to enjoy The 67 for a couple of days... It has made its way to Patterson Racing to get some fine tuning... The truck is running extremely rich... once that is completed then it will go and get the right rear wheel straighten... we discovered it was bent when we had it on jack stands trying to get it to shift and when ywe drove it it has a real bad shimmy in it... once that is done then I will take it to Gene and Otis over at Unruh alignment to have it aligned... it is still a little twitchy... then once that is done then I will take it back to Jett Transmissions to have them clock in the speedometer... Then I will take it back to Chis Carlsons Hotrods to get a few thing fixed that aren't working right...

WHEW!!!!... that sounds like alot but it really isn't...

sduckworth13 · 10-03-2016, 09:07 PM

Dan did you correct the pinion angle with wedges when you lowered it?

When I did a axle flip and 4.5 drop on my 1967 GMC it would start to shake after about 45 mph. I never got a chance to put the shims in it before I sold it.

Good luck Dan, your truck looks outstanding. I like the choice of the white walls, they look real classy.

Truck just keeps getting better looking every time I see a new photo, Dan. Once all the bugs are ironed out, you'll forget there ever were any. Ridin' in style!!
