Project Old Yeller (1969 Chevy C-10)

[djunkie]

Thats a nice looking square body...

Only thing it really needs is to dump the rear exhaust after the axel and change out the mirrors.

Its probably a little too nice for a driver but it will be fun for us to hot rod it around and tinker with it.:skull

Ya I'll probably move the tips for sure. Rear exiting tips on a white truck don't work very well. Other than that I probably won't change much on the exterior. The mirrors are brand new as is most everything on the truck so I don't plan on doing much. It'll be fine as a work truck. I'll just have to wash it a little more often than I do the Ford. Also might have to park a little farther away to avoid the door dings. I just put a deposit in the mail for it. Still gotta figure out how to get it home. He might drive it down here and fly home or I might fly up there and get it. Either way I can't do it till after that whipper snapper shows up.

Thread jack time. Heres a pic of the front end.

All new interior (dark gray). Bone stock 350 tbi. Fresh 700R4 with the corvette shit in it. I think he says its a Lexus pearl white paint. Hes says its lowered right, so who knows what its lowered with. You can see the huge sway bar under the front on the last picture. Trucks in Sacramento. I just put a deposit in the mail and hes gonna hang onto to it till we have the baby. Either hes gonna drive it down here or I'll fly up there and get it. Probably do it in the next couple weeks. By the way, know anyone thats wants a beater Ford ranger for real cheap?:skull

cool....

You should try and plan it so you fly up on the 2nd of october. There is a big older truck party at my buddie renes in no cal(atwater).

They do this every year and it should be a blast. (bbq,beer and magazine coverage)

If my truck is dialed and I can find a sitter for saturday night were gonna bomb up that morning and kick it/grab a hotel and come home sunday mid morn.

 

[69GS]

I'll send ya some pics in the next day or so. I don't hang on any of the 67-72 boards. I also have a 69 Buick GS350 so I pretty much lurk on V8Buick and drool over schiada's and flats on RD's.

I think you should donate your Ranger to Christian. :champagne::champagne:

Trucks looking bad ass Brandin :thumbsup:thumbsup

$1000 come and get it. I just put more than that into it. It needs work but totally drivable.

 

[RitcheyRch]

Truck is looking good. Will look awesome with the new wheels and tires on it.

Dave........PM me some more details man. I may be interested. Shit, I need a hoopty to drive to work too. Would it handle my commute?

 

[Cole Trickle]

OK....its a wrap

Factory break line from the MC let go while bleeding and gushed a ton of fluid. Thankfully when I replaced someother peices that part came in the kit.

Went and saw Scott at DV8 Motorsports (Thanks for the hook up Phil) and he hooked me up with some Toyo Proxes tires.

 

[Cole Trickle]

I am extremely happy with how it turned out. I have busted my ass and spent countless hours to get to this point.

The wheel size/back spacing and tire size looks perfect. I am really happy with the drop as well. Its looow but no where near undrivable. It actually handles really well and rides better due to parts that are actually working. (old shocks were blown)

The brakes work good and the peddle effort for the brakes is nice and I am happy I upgraded to the power booster.

 

[Cole Trickle]

Came out really nice Trickle :thumbsup

No rubs?

I'm thinking maybe a real light tint? maybe not. It looks good.

Thanks...

No rub at all.....I could probably go another 1" all around w/o issues. Thats the nice thing about ordering wheels with custom offsets.

I stripped the old tint......Honestly I kind of like it w/o

 

[HavasuHank]

damn ... looks great.

good job:thumbsup

 

[HOOTER SLED-]

Fock that shit came out tits man!!! Perfect stance. Looks like a totally different truck. You strippin the moulding or keeping it stocky? Both ways has its good looks. Makes me wanna sell the boat and pick up a truck. :thumbsup

Sell the boat and rhino and get back in the game. Its alot easier to back a truck out of a garage to enjoy it vs. driving to the dessert or lake...haha:skull

?I don't think I will loose any $$$ on this toy

What do I got to do to get my truck on that dyno? I probably really don't want to know how much power it makes though.

Probably need to become major stock holder in the company...lol

I will see what I can do but rich is really really hard to nail down these days

A 1970 stock carberated 350 would be lucky to make 200 to the wheels.

Hey its a 1987 TBI 350. I bet its make more like 205 to the wheels. :skull

 

[djunkie]

I just did a quick search. It says 210hp and 300tq. So that probably equates to about 175 at the wheels. LOL!!!!

lol...not to mention thats when it was fresh

Your rhino might make more after the tune

I'm probably making a tad more power but you might get me with that auto tranny....haha

Either way it would be an incredibly boring race

What times the flight?

Flight leaves LAX at 8:40am.
And yes, a very boring race. LOL!!!
Am I sick in the head if I'm already looking for a new crate motor for this thing?
ATK sells a 300 hp crate motor for around $2,500. Maybe Notalent can hook me up. :skull

300 wont be enough to make it exciting.....

Shoot for 400hp with smog legal manifolds so it will pass the visual....383 or bigger

Than a 2500 stall for the 700 and you have a daily driveable truck that will run low 13's...haha:champagne::bowdown:

And it will probably cost me $200/week in gas.

come on......you dont drive that much

Not to0 mention if you just cruise it 300-400 hp typically get similar gas mileage.:skull
