I really appreciate the kind words guys! I've decided to tackle the steering column/wheel next. I wanted to go with my original wheel but I really think it looks cool in the shape it's in right now so I'd like to preserve it...for now at least. I'm probably gonna go with this Mooneyes 15''

We've replaced the straight 6 with a 1993 SBC V-8. Radiator inlet/outlet same as original (with a beefed up core).

Arcane Question of the Week: Do any of you happen to know which radiator hoses will fit this? (Engine mounted on back set of holes...around 2" further back than V-8 original equipment location was.)

Thanks.

CLUTCH LINKAGE PROBLEM...Re: Project: 1967 C10 Small Window
 
All,

Problem: Clutch pedal to clutch linkage from original straight 6 250/292 engine will not fit now that we have a 350 V-8 with headers installed.

Solutions anyone? ...that might be easier than custom fabricating new linkage components? :chevy:

Thanks!

Mark

I hope everyone had a Merry Christmas!

Sorry about the lack of updates. I'm home on break so things are gonna get going again!

Alright yesterday I got new hood letters, headlight bezels, and a beautiful Tekna spray gun. The letters and bezels will inspire me to finish up the front end, and I cannot wait to try out this gun.....should spray like a dream. :metal:
