So how much clearance do you have between the firewall and headers? It sounds like you are happy with the quality of the headers? Is your motor in the rear or forward bolt hole position? Oh wait, you have a dropmember right? Does that have forward and rear engine mounting options?

cdhc10 · 01-27-2009, 12:39 PM

been a few months. Anything new?

mintscorpion · 10-31-2009, 09:39 PM

I would really like to see how this build ended up.

aggie91 · 11-02-2009, 10:37 AM

Looks like he was on the site about a month ago, but he has not made a post in over a year....

Hope he is still OK.

I go by and visit Matt periodically, just to check progress. This is a really nice truck. Last time I was in, several months ago, shop projects (paying customers) were keeping him busy.

aggie91 · 11-03-2009, 10:34 AM

Good to here he is busy and still has the truck. Hope he can post some progess soon.

Pipeworx · 11-10-2009, 01:09 AM

OK.... well I have been very busy and am in the home stretch on the truck. I have to keep the doors open with clients work but have had a little time to wrap up the truck. I have included some pics of all of the custom mounts I made for the compressor, the silenoids and the Optima yellow top. I also included a couple of pics of the truck. I just finished the TIG welded custom exhaust, 2.5" with 2 chamber mufflers, and broke in the motor a couple of weeks ago. I got a driveshaft made and put in a 3/4 ton floor to clear the trans so it is almost ready. I need to replace the bad alternator and top off the fluids and it is a go. Hope you guys enjoy the pics.

P.S. I included a few of the custom aluminum fan shroud I made for the electric fan and I got some 1966 NOS Texas Farm Truck plates too.

Pipeworx · 11-10-2009, 01:10 AM

one more

jmedero · 11-10-2009, 01:26 AM

I got a 66 that has been stagnet for about 6 mths. I just picked up a 68 suburban in awesome shape. I was actually thinking of selling the 66 to bag and rim up the burb... till now. Thanks for the inspiration... this truck is sick!!!!

smashingchuck · 11-10-2009, 01:49 AM

Looking real good, but I gotta say it's too nice not to paint!

64shortc10 · 11-10-2009, 01:50 AM

OG,

Your truck is very nice! I love the look with the black wheels! I wish mine was that far along! Keep up the progress and Pics! Very NICE!

I am out off of 620 near Mansfield Dam on Hudson Bend Road. Go here to see a map..... www.pipeworx.com

nastyc10 · 11-10-2009, 12:48 PM

cool. I know where your at. I saw that model A at the tattoo show. Are you planning on taking the c-10 to any shows?

aggie91 · 11-10-2009, 06:26 PM

The truck looks good. Last time you posted anything it was in your garage...

Would like to see more pics on the finished rear set up.

Pipeworx · 11-10-2009, 10:57 PM

Some more pics.

I was planning on having it at Goodguys this year but I had way too much client work. I will have it at the heatwave this next year and at Goodguys but will drive the wheels off of it for a while too. I bet if I took it into the Roundup I would get some stink eye's for the big rollers but so what, I build hotrods too.

SCOTI · 11-11-2009, 01:15 AM

I'm diggin the shroud & the knobs for the air control. Stock V8 radiator? I was trying to have mine put together for the 2010 RoundUp. Maybe I'll see yours there (you could pop some steelies on it to keep the frenzy @ a minimum

).

Thanks.... I wanted the controls to look almost like the factory placed them there so I got some extra control knobs from a donor C10 and had a bezel made. The radiator is a recored stock radiator, 4 core, and I think that it will be ok.... we will see. As for putting steelies on the C10 I don't think that it can happen as I have 89 Corvette suspension and brakes. I think that this means I have to have a 17" or bigger wheel to clear the vette brakes. Someone correct me on this if I am wrong.

Ahhh.... I forgot yours was C4 DM. I think through 88 they came w/12" discs & 13" optional. Maybe the same through 92 ( I can't remember when 13" brakes started being the standard). Measure the rotor & you'll know for sure. If they're not the 13" rotors, some steelies would work.

Yeah, I wouldn't worry about what they think. Most of those guys are old school but that's what makes the roundup so cool. I'll be there and at heatwave.
