Re: My 1962 C10 Build Thread "Grandpa's Truck "
 

gonna fire it up this weekend should be fun...only 700 to 750hp

Re: My 1962 C10 Build Thread "Grandpa's Truck "
 

Already a monster

Re: My 1962 C10 Build Thread "Grandpa's Truck "
 

we will see....I built the motor to be 700 to 800hp depending on boost...ive had 400hp in this truck before with a 454....and 275 with the t pi roller motor...I really think the differential won't hold up...planning a 9 inch Ford next

Re: My 1962 C10 Build Thread "Grandpa's Truck "
 

why are the pics uploading sideways...or upside down...they are correct in my phone

Re: My 1962 C10 Build Thread "Grandpa's Truck "
 

It depends on how you hold your phone when you take the initial picture. If you always take the picture with your phone sideways, bottom of phone pointed towards your right hand, the pictures will upload in the correct orientation.

Great progress on the truck! The engine sounds like it will be a ton of fun

setting up the gaps...adding metal here removing there...ready for hand filing

Re: My 1962 C10 Build Thread "Grandpa's Truck "
 

Nice.

Check the door gap/fit at the cowl and the front fender too while you're there. It's alarming how inconsistently out of wack these are.

Looks good!

Re: My 1962 C10 Build Thread "Grandpa's Truck "
