Sounds good. Austin will be down too, so I'll toss some burgers on the grill and get some pepsi on ice!!

Re: 1963 C-10 in NC

Finally got around to getting some paint on the last valve cover. Will complete the paint detail and fin clean up tonight. I have a small ring around the oil fill cap that will get painted black, same as the other cover. Looking forward to these being done. I have far more hours in prep and polish than they are worth, but the time will be worth it. I think they look great and will be a nice addition.

Hahaha.....right on. Nice thing is we have a gas station less than a mile away. So will make runs easy!! Tank was pulled when I painted the cab, so its been sitting empty. Guess I'll make a few trips with the 5 gal can and get at least 15 gal loaded up for break in.

Re: 1963 C-10 in NC

Will be with open headers. Been lazy and need to crawl under the truck and finish the x-pipe to header install to finish the exhaust. Not that the exhaust will quiet the engine up much.

Re: 1963 C-10 in NC

Flashback!!! Put my headers and exhaust back on about 2 weeks ago, tore it off and put back on again last week cause it didn't suit me. I hate exhaust work!

Say a prayer for you tonight!

Mines a kit. Has actually gone pretty smooth, just a project I started and didn't finish. I only have to make 2 cuts on the pipe from the reducer to the x-pipe. Back half is all in.

Thanks for the prayers though.

Re: 1963 C-10 in NC

I always liked to break in an engine, first start up with mufflers, just in case the is a noise you can't here with open exhaust. have done it without also lol. I also do not run a thermostat and use just water and have a temp gauge hooked up. you probably know all of this stuff so happy brake-in.

I can finish the exhaust....would just set me back a day or so. I have all the dash complete, so full gauges hooked up. And didn't know about the thermostat. That's an easy fix too since its an o ring compression style. Thanks!!!
