67 C10 "Green Gobblin" straight from the field!

I’m jealous of yours already being prepped and ready for the next stage. I’m so ready to be that far.

Oh ya kids love running into the garage seeing what’s going on and tearing the place up! I never kick them out as I want them to hang out and maybe learn a few things!

Oh you will be there soon! I keep checking in on Walt and it’s looking pretty good! Looking forward to seeing that one back together!

Get your headers/manifolds fitted because that’s what has me STUCK on my motor position finalizing. My BBC is just low enough that I can’t find $hit that’ll fit and I’m stuck waiting on Nate or fabbing them myself (which I guess will be the case & that’s really frustrating that PB doesn’t seem to give a d@mn).

Looking absolutely gorgeous. All trucks should be bit with this quality and care in mind

Ya I’ve already built and fit a set of headers to this engine height. The factory bbc truck manifolds also fit with lots of room but I’ve been trying to track down a set of 1970 ls6 exhaust manifolds. Once I get my hands on a some I would like to set engine height to those if I decide to scrap the header idea? I feel your pain with PB leaving you hanging!

Thanks man! It’s getting there!

[6t9camaro]

So the engine sitting high has been bothering me and I want to get it a little lower! I decided to refit my headers and a factory set of exhaust manifolds. I don't have much clearance with the headers left ( I already knew that from when i modified them to fit ) but once I put the manifolds in there I realized I've got tons of room and can easily go down about 1.5"+ Since I've been leaning towards factory manifolds lately I'm going to hunt down a set of 70s High-Perf Chevelle or Camaro manifolds. (they will probably out perform my headers anyway) without all the leaks and high engine bay temps!

[6t9camaro]

After playing around with exhaust for half the day i decided to get some powder coated pieces out and accessories installed!

[nlped]

Nice!!!

[nlped]

You’re motor looks like it sits about 1.5”+ higher than mine. My serpentine crank pulley (about 6’ish inches in diameter) is same height as the crossmember in front of it.

[6t9camaro]

Oh ya I’m definitely going to drop the motor after seeing that. That’s a good reference pic! Thanks!

[nlped]

You bet!!! I’ve gotta come up about an inch from looking at yours. For reference, my 700r4 fits with a low hump with about 1/2” of clearance.

I was going to comment the other day, and got interrupted....the factory big block frames are not as wide at the top, where your headers are potentially having clearance issues. i did not know this, was reading a thread here about some of the different things on these pickups...

Carry On, great to see a factory looking big block in one of these. I plan to do the same on my 68, when that day comes...I have the original grungy somewhat rusted original valve covers, that I am thinking about installing. Yous look much better!!! I also have 2 sets in much better shape...

[knomadd]

That big block sure looks good on that frame though. Keep it up!

Hmmm interesting! I’ve never heard that before. The frame rails in this truck are from a C20 and when I compared them to the factory 67 rails there were no differences other than the steering box location. But I’ve never had a factory big block frame so can’t really say.

Thanks!

Weekend update! Picked up some goodies friday and you can see my boy was excited! Got the Boyd tank fitted and installed this weekend with no problems. Also picked up my High-Perf Car manifolds!

[jkeating1]

I'm down with the LS6 replication! Good job nailing details (like the single Tonawanda decal). How about some Cowl induction?

[6t9camaro]

Oh ya that’s a good looking big block! I’ve been keeping my eye out for the cowl induction air cleaner setup but haven’t found one yet!

[6t9camaro]

Yup still here! Projects been going pretty slow lately as I had to pack it all up to move. But we’re starting to get settled into the new place. I’ve got to get some garage equipment set up before I can start back on it. I do have some pics to update so I will try and get those up soon!

Wow it's been over a year since I last posted a pic! I'm finally going to get this thread updated with pics of work that has been done. A lot has changed on the truck and I've been working on and off on it for the past year. I will update from where I left off and catch up to where I am now. First up I will finish up pics of the exhaust. Here you can see the manifolds coated and installed and the fit up and weld of the pipes up to the crossmember.

[6t9camaro]

More welding

[6t9camaro]

And of course just like everything else once I'm done I decided I wanted flex joints so i put those in.
