Thanks Heath.

I'll eventually get the brake pedal that matches or just take the chrome off of the gas pedal. They all are slanted /. 1-2 hrs depending on how you do it.

Re: 68 S/C update.....
 

I like the fact that it was a nice truck to start with but it's so much more w/the simple details items & corrections made where necessary (5-crimps on one wire??; those rear coils??; the cheesy looking fuel cell & batt placement).

Excellent work on this one!

Re: 68 S/C update.....
 

Thanks Scoti. It's been a fun truck to just "update" and not have to go through the whole restoration process. Someday maybe Ill be able to talk Nate into building me a custom chassis, but right now I love driving it as it is.

I finished the pedal upgrade. I used a extra Lokar cable I had laying aroujnd instead of using the 71/72 factory one. It worked a little better with the supercharger setup.

Re: 68 S/C update.....
 

some ricer guy will be PO'd that you got the last fancy blue anodized blow off valve!!!

Re: 68 S/C update.....
 

I think I want a lokar cable like that. You have a part #?

Re: 68 S/C update.....
 

:lol:, Unfortunately that's the only color they offered, and for the price I couldn't pass it up.

This one should work, http://www.summitracing.com/parts/LOK-TC-1000U/.

Re: 68 S/C update.....
 

Thanks for the length. One question though, is the stated cable length from end to end of the cable or the sleeve?

Re: 68 S/C update.....
 

I'm not sure hgs. You might want to give Lokar a call. I know they offer a 36" one also.

Re: 68 S/C update.....
 

Rob, I think that you ahve done such an great job on this truck so far, , it to me is what hot rodding is aboutm, getting dirty and doing what you have to do to make her run!!

Re: 68 S/C update.....
 

+1 on the lokar products..Rob I used one in my truck when I built mine as well as the shifter rod, oil dip stick and tranny dip stick..

Re: 68 S/C update.....
 

gas pedal/ cable looks good Rob....I gotta get mine installed on the Mistress...maybe Toyota should take some notes:lol:

Re: 68 S/C update.....
 

Thanks Nuke.

Definitely high quality stuff.

Maybe they'll give me a job, I'm not having much luck anywhere else, :rolleyes:.

OK, well my small pedal project project has turned into an engine compartment "remodel". I've wanted to move some stuff around for a while, I guess now is as good of time as any....

Re: 68 S/C update.....
 

looking good...

Re: 68 S/C update.....
 

Looks good! :metal:

Re: 68 S/C update.....
 

Thanks! I've finally got everything back together, but I'm still playing with my pedal setup. I also ordered an all new fuel setup that should be able to handle the demand of the S/C. I should have that installed by next week. Also, I had these wheels "laying around" and thought I would bolt them on to see how they look. What da ya think???? :D

Re: 68 S/C update.....
 

I like the wheels!
Even though I think the grey centered version would fit that truck better.
(Time to place another order,...)

Re: 68 S/C update.....
 

Your probably right, hard choice though. I'm suprised they bolted right up. I thought the hubs would have needed to be ground..... I would put another order in, but I'm worried that they won't get it right.....:lol:.

Re: 68 S/C update.....
 

Do they make those wheels wide enough to fill out those rear fender wells? ;)

Re: 68 S/C update.....
 

They do offer some wide ones, but..... only offer them w/back-spacing set-up for narrowed rear ends. That's the downfall on cheaper wheels (very limited BS selection).

Those don't look too bad. The steelies look better though ;) .

Re: 68 S/C update.....
 

Put the steelies back on....

Re: 68 S/C update.....
 

love the look of the coys on there, but of course I am bias...:lol:

Re: 68 S/C update.....
 

I had some pretty stuff on my porch when I got home from work.

Re: 68 S/C update.....
 

Pretty close, :).

I don't know.....:smoke:

You don't think they'd grow on you?? ;)

I knew you'd like them, :lol:.

Sweet!!!!:metal:

Re: 68 S/C update.....
 

I like the wheels but I like the steelies on that truck better and I loved the old school welds ya had on it..

Re: 68 S/C update.....
 

I know what you're saying. There's just to many choices! Here's a comparison of tires. Definitely a difference, but the Coys/BFGs have a 12" tread width. I thinking I'm leaning towards the grey ones instead of the polished ones....
