Beautiful engines! What color is the big block painted with? Is that Pontiac Metallic Blue? I thought that the AMC Metallic Blue would look good with my truck, but it turned out way too greenish (more of an aqua). Your color matches my truck perfectly!

Here's my 62 with 94 LT1. Could use a little more tiddying up for sure.

63 Short Fleetside with T5

**66 C10 383** · 09-01-2012, 06:07 PM

New guy here, just had the truck about a month now so I'm still gathering parts, ideas, and direction on what to do.

Starting with a 66 C10 and adding in my 383 & T56 from my last project.

You'll have to use a bit of imagination as there's lots to do before it ready to drop in ...

It is supposed to be a GM Med Blue. Last time I mixed more paint they came back with Bright Poly Blue. It is a PPG color.

**Chevy Fleetside** · 09-01-2012, 06:51 PM

first picture is before the 2nd two are now. I sure do like the after better.

Thanks for the info. I found a Buick big block blue metallic that should work pretty good.

When you paint the engine with PPG paint, what do you have to add to make it a hi-temp paint for the engine?

By the way, I work in SF, someday I hope I see your truck. Looks great.

here is where i am at with my 62.

rustbucket66 · 11-04-2012, 11:46 AM

Just getting started, a lot of pieces to attach yet, plumbing, wiring, and install A/C system. The air cleaner is just sitting on wood blocks right now, awaiting carb. It's a 283 with a powerglide. Not going to be a tire burner, but that is what it came with. I drove it a long time previous with this combo, and it was fun to drive, very reliable too.

I like your ram air intake. It looks like you used a pair of exhaust tips.

GOOD WORK

61Burban,

I noticed you are using the tall valve covers. How is the clearance on the driver side? By looking at it, it seems it might be hard to get off. I have a set of tall Edelbrock Elite valve covers in my Caprice and want to put some on my truck but wasn't sure if they would fit.

And to all the other posters with awesome engine bays! Damn mine has a long way to go.
