67 C-30 Dually pickup build.

[67_C-30]

I seem to have lost the ability to embed YouTube videos. Has it changed from the way it used to be?

Glad you did not sell it and things are looking Brighter for you.
Your Write-up and pictures help me get started with
my dually fenders on a fleet side bed.
I also plan to use Hydro-boost.

I can't help you with the U-tube video's.
I hope someone can.
Looking forward to a video

Thanks! I took a look at your build - very cool! I'd like to try a crewcab someday, but I'm going to stick with getting this one finished! Hopefully it won't take another 12 years!

If you haven't solid mounted your rear fenders yet, I'd recommend maybe doing it a little differently than I did - or least doing it better than I did. Back then all I had was a crappy flux core welder (plus I'm a much better welder now) and I got some warpage where I welded the tabs on. I'm going to redo mine with '67 stepside fenders, and I'm thinking of gluing the tabs on this time, or buying a spot welder.

I'm glad you did too! The years of working 70-80 hours a week kinda kept me away from here for a long time. I'd lurk occasionally, but it was kinda depressing knowing I had sold most of my trucks, and didn't have time to work on the ones I still had.

This is the invoice for the simulators that I finally put on the truck. 😂

Your Simulators looks great.
I have not solid mounted my rear step fenders yet.
Which reminds me I needs to update my build thread.
I would like to see pictures when you redo it with the 67 step fenders.
If you can.
That what mine are 67 fenders.

Things got much tighter after the battery box went in. I’ve git to decide which of these setups for the air cleaner I want to go with. This:

Or this:

I think the first pic w/o the elbow is the cleanest but then again not sure how hot the front of the turbo gets so the elbow might provide some temperature relief.

That was my concern as well. I like the way it looks coming straight off the turbo, but I worried about the heat also.

I posted some of these pics on the main board, but I figured I’d catalog the latest work here on the build thread.
I made spacers to get the alternator positioned correctly and got the correct length bent figured out. I’ll go back and get another one now that I have it right. That will give me twin Hydroboost and alternator belts. The HumVee crank and water pulley caused a lot of alignment issues, but I'm glad to have the extra belts. The single V belts on my CUCV and always squeaking, no matter what I do.

I also figured a way to bend the ‘67 - 68 side molding to wrap around the dually humps. I’m happy with the way that turned out.

I recorded a couple videos of it running:

I got another belt today, so I have the twin belts to the alternator and Hydroboost pump. I’m hoping this eliminates the dreaded belt squeal associated with the normally V-belt 6.2’s.

[67_C-30]

I found out that ‘67 did not have provision for the auxiliary battery tray, but 2 existing holes did line up. I added the 3 additional holes and mounted it.

Testing to see if I can embed the videos on this thread.

Thanks so much for the tip! I would have never thought of that!

I learned it here on one of the music posts. Gotta love this site.
