I can't figure out how to upload video from my phone. The videos are posted on our Facebook page. Wild West Street Rods.

Re: '68 c10 build
 

The bolts are holding the ecu under the dash. They are just in there loosely. I'll change them out with some button heads. I am not running a center air vent. I planned to leave it out because I think it's a cleaner look.

Re: '68 c10 build
 

The vintage air controls are the best Ive ever seen here on the board, very nice work all the way around.

Re: '68 c10 build
 

Hey, thank you very much!

Re: '68 c10 build
 

Ok, here's a link to the first start up......https://youtu.be/L_Dq1eKe62o

Re: '68 c10 build
 

And the second video.....https://youtu.be/yni1o__FrOE

Re: '68 c10 build
 

Just read the whole thread. This is going to be one Beautiful truck. It's a much prettier version of my Walter...

Re: '68 c10 build
 

Haha, thank you. You should sell Walter and buy this one. 😜

Re: '68 c10 build
 

I Don't think this one will fall into my budget unless I was finished with Walter. So, I'll need you to slow way down. :lol:

Re: '68 c10 build
 

You have until November. Hahaha

The plan is to take this one to Goodguys in Scottsdale, November 17-19, and try and sell it.

Re: '68 c10 build
 

Start up sounded mean. I know you said there was no exhaust, but is that just a stock motor. Ls3?

Re: '68 c10 build
 

It's a stock 11k mile Pontiac g8 l76. Even has stock exhaust manifolds on it. Basically the same as an ls3 from what I understand. I agree, sounds mean.

Re: '68 c10 build
 

Few updates for the week:

First, my bed was delivered. Looks pretty good. One small area that was damaged in shipping but not too bad. We're going to go ahead and fill the stake pocket holes.

Re: '68 c10 build
 

Second, we got the brakes bled but the pedal isn't right so we ordered a new booster/master cylinder/proportioning valve combo. It should be delivered this week.

Third, this isn't a very good pic, but my dad started building the exhaust. I'll try and get some better pics when it's finished.

Re: '68 c10 build
 

Finished the seat up today. Came out pretty decent.
The pic doesn't show up very well but also installed the new visors.

Re: '68 c10 build
 

This isn't the best picture either but I installed the overflow container. I found this one and thought it was kind of cool because it looks like the factory wiper reservoir.

Re: '68 c10 build
 

Anyone have any experience with these mufflers? I'm looking for a quiet but healthy sound.

Re: '68 c10 build
 

Exhaust is getting closer to being finished. Waiting for some exhaust pipe to come in to finish the tailpipes.

Re: '68 c10 build
 

What a good looking build. Can't wait to see them hood hinges mounted up. May get me a set.

Re: '68 c10 build
 

I'm not following, what hood hinges?

Re: '68 c10 build
 

My bad. It's larrys 68 project that got the new billet hood hinges. I've been following both builds. Again very nice truck. Awesome work.

Re: '68 c10 build
 

No worries and thank you. Now I need to go check out Larry's new hood hinges.

Re: '68 c10 build
 

I got a text message from my dad today saying he took the truck for the first test drive. His exact words were, "This truck screams. Like really screams!!!!"

Now I'm stuck at work waiting for the weekend to get down to his shop.

Re: '68 c10 build
 

Ran by the shop this morning and listened to the truck through the exhaust. Of course I forgot to take a video. Anyway, it sounds really-really good. Quiet but deep sound. Pretty much exactly what I was looking for.

They have started bodywork on the bed and are getting ready to assemble it on a cart.

Grabbed a quick picture on my way out the door. :devil:

Re: '68 c10 build
 

I'm curious what you did with exhaust. Did you buy a pre-bent complete system? What brand of muffs? Thanks, Dave
