Are you on big block mounts? Here's mine with stock height covers

67ctener · 11-07-2013, 05:02 PM

Are you running a short or long pump?

Rusbuilt · 11-07-2013, 06:58 PM

Keith is running a dropmember with big block mounts.

Bennett68C10 · 11-07-2013, 08:17 PM

Yeah I'm running a dropmember with Big Block mounts and a long water pump. If I changed the water pump then I would have to change my front accessory drive as well and I don't want to do that. I think the stock covers will work. Thanks for the picture.

Bennett68C10 · 11-10-2013, 07:44 PM

Today I got the valve covers swapped out for a set of stock height covers. This worked perfectly as now I have plenty of room from the covers to the firewall. Decided to go with the ZZ502 valve covers because they match the look I'm going for better. I think they look pretty darn good on there.

Once I got that done, I finally bolted the cab back down. Then I decided to throw some sheet metal on the old girl. I bolted the fenders back on and aligned them the best I could for now. Tomorrow I plan on installing my Slosh Tubz so I can lay her out. Hopefully will get the door bolted back on too. She is finally looking like a truck again

Bennett68C10 · 11-10-2013, 07:49 PM

Love the way it is looking, I'm really excited and feel like I'm finally making some progress

jmking9 · 11-10-2013, 07:57 PM

Truck looks GREAT! I LOVE everything about this one.

gofast68c20 · 11-10-2013, 08:06 PM

Looks great Keith, thanks for making me jealous!!

sduckworth13 · 11-10-2013, 08:17 PM

Awesome job Keith. The truck looks great, glad you didn't have to modify the firewall.

Rusbuilt · 11-10-2013, 08:54 PM

Oh yeah! Nice Keith!

big_al_71 · 11-10-2013, 10:07 PM

love the progress........

67ctener · 11-10-2013, 10:23 PM

Thing looks awesome. Love the stance and really like your new valve covers. Keep it up

mcbassin · 11-10-2013, 10:33 PM

Dang that looks good Keith. I like the short valve covers too. You mind if I borrow your wheels for a few months just to see if I like them? J/K... I really like that style

Rochlow · 11-10-2013, 11:41 PM

Rock on, buddy!!

that's how I felt after seeing your new pics you posted on your thread, made me want to run out and start bolting some sheet metal on

Yeah I'm not a fan of bodywork at all and the thought of redoing my firewall was sickening. I'm happy the short valve covers worked out.

Thanks I think the new valve covers worked out perfect, I'll have the other ones up for sale soon. If you like the stance now, just wait until I clearance the fenders and lay it on the ground.

Sure Mike but I don't think the blue will go with your Red

come to think of it, I think I know of a guy in your neck of the woods with the same wheels

They are an awesome wheel you should go for them.

jeh · 11-11-2013, 12:26 AM

Keith, I just checked out your build this evening... Your doing some awesome work. I really like the direction your headed, can't wait to see it finished. (Bet you can't either)

PS: If you buy another set of wheels you don't want, you can send them to me....

Bhelton · 11-11-2013, 08:17 AM

Very nice build, I'm in

jlsanborn · 11-11-2013, 11:40 AM

Looks great!

Yeah I can't wait to be done, after seeing some sheet metal on it, I just want to put it together now and drive it

I think I'm done buying wheels for a while, that is until I get it on the road
