Nice work, John! Those fat weenies look like they'll stick going around corners. ;)

Re: My '67 Fleetside C10 renew
 

Thanks for the read man! I've got the heads and crank back at the house. Block checked out good and is still at the shop awaiting pistons and rods.

Thanks Vic! I've wanted a ride with 295 BFGs out back since I was a baby :lol:

Re: My '67 Fleetside C10 renew
 

Nice work. Sounds like a healthy 327 you're building!

Re: My '67 Fleetside C10 renew
 

Nice job! read your entire post. I'll be taking some of your info to use on my build. Great job. Great to see another Washington truck.

Re: My '67 Fleetside C10 renew
 

Looks gooood, John! Sounds like Knuckles is settling in well at his new gig!

Re: My '67 Fleetside C10 renew
 

Thanks Joe! I'm still trying to map it all out before I order pistons.

Thanks for the read man! This site has everything you need. DIY painting expert is right below us.

Thanks Chip! Still avoiding the sandpaper like the plague :lol: He is loving the job. He's still on the sh!t end of the deal, tearing down, hot tanking, magnafluxing, running for parts, etc... but he has gotten some time on the balancer, hanging pistons and a little assembly. He's also working on lot's of different brands, imports and domestic.

Glad it's going well for him. Better get that cab up on the nose and make with the Raptor liner!

That's the plan!

Thanks man! Ma-In-Law lives on Tapps Island.

Re: My '67 Fleetside C10 renew
 

Found my way over here from the No Limits Joe Touring thread and glad I did!

Great build and love the rear exhaust detail, was thinking about something similar on my 66 but as I am one of those terrible LS people, want to keep the area clear for a future rear tank.

Looking forward to the next instalment.

P. :D

Re: My '67 Fleetside C10 renew
 

Unfortunately I haven't done much here. Really need a few bucks to get this engine built. Looking for side work. Knuckles got his motor fired today. Test drive tomorrow and a smokey video!

Re: My '67 Fleetside C10 renew
 

Sweet motor and its awesome to see him running a Q-jet.

Re: My '67 Fleetside C10 renew
 

The engine sounds good and is quite responsive! Great job :thumbs:

Is it a flat tappet cam or a roller?

Re: My '67 Fleetside C10 renew
 

I've always liked them too but it's a temporary thing for him. He'll be saving for a double pumper, and fuel :lol:

XR282HR (hydraulic roller), LS valves and springs (2.00 x 1.55) and Comp 1.6:1 roller rockers.

Thanks guys! He's pretty happy with the results so far.

Re: My '67 Fleetside C10 renew
 

Go Boy GO!

Re: My '67 Fleetside C10 renew
 

Schweeet! In retrospect, I wish I'd gone the extra mile and put a roller in mine. The peace of mind alone would be worth it.

Re: My '67 Fleetside C10 renew
 

The new motor sounds great! :metal:

Re: My '67 Fleetside C10 renew
 

You gettin' anything done up there Johnny? The people demand updates! What's up on the truck? What's Knuckles been up to? Are you dodging all the riots, fires, mudslides, armed militants, etc? Git on the stick, son!

Re: My '67 Fleetside C10 renew
 

Thanks for checkin' Chip! Knuckles is still on the grind and has been the only one busy in my shop. Lifted the Swiss Cheeze and got his front driveline back in, built a 10.5:1 big block and just now has it installed in a square K20 for a pal. I'll take a vid of that thing, sounds killer! He picked up an '03 RM125 and I went through my ride at the end of the season. I've got some moolah to get started on my motor. Waiting for the king-salami to get back from vacation at Knuckle's shop, then I'm sending my heads in to start. Gotta finish the "plan" engine wise. I want to get a final cc on my chambers after they're built and then decide on pistons. Prolly going with a forged dome, then getting them machined down to a reasonable compression ratio. Boy has his eye on a forged 283 crank at work, thinks I oughtta build a 302! I don't think so...

Hi-windin'! Glad all are well.

Re: My '67 Fleetside C10 renew
 

Looking good. Diggin' the wheel and tire combo.

Re: My '67 Fleetside C10 renew
 

nice build. Im just down south a bit from you. maybe we can meet at a show or something and compare notes.

Re: My '67 Fleetside C10 renew
 

Thanks man! How's the stepper?

Thanks! I'm down for that.

Re: My '67 Fleetside C10 renew
 

Swiss Cheeze! Power steering pump is not happy.

Runs and sounds really good :thumbs:

Is that the same engine he built back in September?
