Man that's a nice project, the frame looks great. Motor is awesome especially with that fuel injection setup sitting on top. Planning to do a rear mounted tank myself and obviously the rockers and cab corners. You're in the home stretch now.

[brian1971]

I now have to make room for this intercooler.

[Blown06]

I really like it, i'm on a 3" pulley so putting out around 11psi of boost. I'm maxxed out on my current setup though. Any more and I'll need injectors, cam, transmission upgrade... You know the list just grows. It's a lot of fun to drive but I'm needing a change of pace and stepping back to my C-10 roots is just what I need.

[Blown06]

Any room left to modify the center grille brace and put it in front of the radiator?

I had fun stacking all the heat exchangers in my 06, so I feel your pain.

[Stuntman]

Wow! Looking great Brian. Can't wait to see the finished truck.

Fantastic, and that's before the cab went back on....A little painful on the eye balls though..... Can't wait to see this finished. Well Done!

[brian1971]

Thanks Jarrod glad you guys love it been worth the wait,started putting the rest of the driver side trim on last night.The trim really sets off the paint color.

Look'n good, in the neighborhood!!!

I just bought one of those clusters w/ the tach. The seller told me the tach hooks to the dist...Some day when you are fooling w/ your dash, see if you could give me an idea of how the tach is wired up, Thanks!

[brian1971]

Thanks 68gold/white,yeah no problem I'll help you with the wiring.Did they give you the plug that goes on back of tachometer and are you running a hei distributor or points.When I get around to installing mine I will take some pics and post them.

Thanks Stutman and Notsolo,The pics make it look brighter than it actually is hard to get a good pic of color with the camera phone every time a take pic comes out different yellow.Going to take some pics with my good digital camera and post them.

There's two wires off the back of the cluster. Seller said one went to to dist (1970 point dist) and one was for light. Well...there's only one electrical wire, on any GM (points) dist, and it goes to the points, unless there's another connector somewhere on that wire, I'm not sure of...I'll look at my 67 and 68 to see also, thanks in advance for your help!!!!

350 engine???
I like the old Chevy engines.
