1965 C-10 LS build

[66ChevyMax]

I tried 3 different sets with no luck. Your perch location is forward of mine so you may have better luck. I am going with DT from Shon, $550 well worth it if I can get past this hump. If not in the trash goes the CPP perch's and on to plan "E".

I'm will most likely end up with the DT headers. I noticed that the DT headers on Summits web site shows them compatable with the CPP perches. Do you know if that "SHON" has them in stock yet? Summit Racing has them in stock but want $618.00. I was told that headers from a 69 camaro Ls swap will work. A local speed shop has a pair of Hooker Headers that I'm going to try. I looked at your build again and that truck looks great. It's nice when everything is new and clean. I couldn't tell which engine adapter mounts you have. Do you have theone that you can adjust the engine back?

Shon has them in stock, check the thread below, he has set up a group purchase to help with the price.

My engine adapter are not adjustable, that may be the next step if the DT coming don't work out.

Thanks for the info ChevyMax. If the Hooker Headers don't work I will have to dig deep into the loose change jar for the extra money for the DT headers. Again your build is looking good. Have a good night.

They look good on there. How did they fit around the CPP motor perches?
I tried the set of headers from a 69 Camaro, they didn't fit very good. Looks like I am going to have to buy that style. Are they long tube?

They just cleared, the are not long tube they are mid.

A little update on the build. My gas tank came in and got it put in. I gave the wiring a little break and decided to move the battery to the drivers side. I cut in a box in the inner fender near the core support. I'm going to run the cold air intake and filter to the passenger side where the factory battery was located. I finished up the metal work on the cab and bed sides going to ship the bed sides and the hood off to the body shop on Thursday. I wanted to take a few pictures but the camera battery was dead. Will try to post some pictures on Thursday morning, after work. I sold the old motor and trans yesterday so now have some extra money for new parts.

Haven't posted much about the build, but I did got a few things done. I finished up the passanger side rocker and got it primed. I hung the door, inner and outer fender. I had to take off a couple of the braces off the inner fender to get it to line up. I starting to find out that this after market stuff doesn't line up very good. I have a little work to do on the door gaps as well. I finished the drive by wire pedal and got it mounted. I purchase a power window kit from AutoLoc and attempted to install it with no luck. The kit I bought was a universal kit for a flat window and I think I will return it or put it on E-Bay and buy a kit made for the truck.

I have been wanting to air bag the truck and I decided to do it know rather then when it painted. I ordered bags, brackets and fittings from AVS and a "C-Notch" kit from CPP. The bed and the hood should be back soon and will send the rest of the truck to the body shop after that.
