What is the backspacing on the rear wheels? I really like how close the wheel/tire is to the bedside. Really looks clean that way.

**67cheby** · 09-13-2011, 09:58 AM

the back wheels are 22x10's with 7 1/2 inches of backspacing, but i am running a billet spacer with a 69 up rearend , i couldnt see spending the BIG BUCKS....that it takes to get these kind of wheels custom made to exactly what i wanted so i made these work with the setup i have , bought them on this board in the for sale section...THANKS VA72c10 once again, I LOVE my wheels

**oldman3** · 09-13-2011, 10:40 AM

I take off one day and you add two pages to the build, way to go. Love the tubs and the truck looks great, nice job.....Jim

**67cheby** · 09-13-2011, 10:44 AM

trying to make up for 6 months of adding NOTHING !!

**67cheby** · 09-14-2011, 09:24 AM

did i mention how much i love having my truck at home ..... only had about 1 hour to work on it last night but i started with the used Painless wiring i got from a board member, and stripped all of the tape and loom off it, stripped the wires i didnt need from the engine compartment, and started temporarily routing the wires so i can figure out lengths and routing paths !! It was great if i can get just 1 hour of stuff done a day ...it is MOVING FORWARD !!

What do you have in mind for accessing the anchor bolt for the harness connector? Maybe a tip down access panel so you can get at the anchor bolt but still have it out of sight when not needed.

The panel could cover the whole vent opening to seal it off too.

**67cheby** · 09-14-2011, 11:32 AM

yes i am building a panel that bolts in and out of the vent hole, and then covering in with , custom made speaker kick panels

That should work nice.

When are you going to drop the drivetrain in there?

72BlckButy · 09-14-2011, 09:13 PM

Lookin' good!

Glad to see it's back home for some regular (ahem,... daily) updates.

**67cheby** · 09-15-2011, 05:23 PM

LOL...yep, gonna get all of my wiring routed for mock up !!

**FRENCHBLUE72** · 09-15-2011, 07:17 PM

Please tell me your gonna run that wire under the core support????

**67cheby** · 09-15-2011, 09:58 PM

no it will run through it, completely concealed !! all wire except for the ones running to the absolute necessary stuff will be hidden, along with ac and heater hoses

**FRENCHBLUE72** · 09-16-2011, 08:56 AM

Hell yes I was hoping you were gonna say that..

**67cheby** · 09-16-2011, 09:11 AM

yeterday i stopped by a swap meet the first pic is what i couldnt pass up for $10 buckaroos, mocking up my vintage air so i can figure out where to put my computer brain, and where to run my fuel injection wiring out of the firewall (i am thinking in the middle right behind the distributor), then got the box put back in working on getting everything set so i can start stretching the fleece on it to make all of the contours ! oh brought the painless wiring to work with me today to start cleaning it up and checking all of the wires on it !

**67cheby** · 09-16-2011, 12:08 PM

i am thinking about going to GoodGuys on Oct 1st if i can get a couple orders for SLOSH TUBZ, to take and deliver, give me a shout if anyone is interested ! FREE DELIVERY !!

Nice score on the valve covers.

The speaker box looks great.

**67cheby** · 09-16-2011, 01:08 PM

How did the speaker box "bend" around the corners? I can't really see how you did that from the pic.

BTW what engine are you looking putting in?

**67cheby** · 09-16-2011, 01:17 PM

it hasnt really "bent" yet the fleece strecthed around the corner and then fiberglassed is what will make the bend This is a pic of the end of the box then i added a piece of 1/4 inch panel to fill the cab corner hole and stretch the fleece to and that will make the curve

**67cheby** · 09-16-2011, 01:20 PM

my engine is a throttle body injected 350 with, eldelbrock tbi intake and holley throttle body, nothing wild just a good dependable FUEL INJECTED cruiser , with 700r4 I think this is the last pic i have with the motor still in it

Nice reliable daily driver of an engine & trans. Same stuff I have going into my 69 K10 project. I have had a few TBI vehicles and they have all done pretty well reliability wise. Good choice to keep things on a realistic budget too.

Dinos63 · 09-16-2011, 07:54 PM

it always nice to get your truck home.... and just go out and look at... for hours at a time

killer work kat

my second favorite thing about it is , it still looks like a stock motor !! somewhat original, i have a powdercoated black March serpentine pulley setup ready to install, running the factory style valve covers and breather, cant wait to get some paint on my motor and get it all put together !! i have everything for it just stripped it back down for a better paint job !!
