My '70 C/10 - The Rat Bastard... [Won't Idle.]

[kellyjohn]

Nice choice of parts.

You are definitely not wasting any time!!

 

[Deuling]

I got the small shaft and joints and patch mike. Holy crap that was fast lol

You are definitely not wasting any time!!

Like I said before... I wanna be cruising by mid-June. burnout

I'm chomping-at-the-bit to get that motor out/apart.
I really wanna know what's in it, so I can start ordering/rebuilding.

The TH400 is ready to go in.
Just needs a Torque Converter.

I sorted out all the Hydro-Boost stuff today.
Still need rear discs.

I cleaned off and painted the radiator and driveshaft sections, too.

Looking like tomoro will see the correct pedals going in.
As well as the 700R4 coming out.

My garage floor is COVERED in Chevy upgrade parts, right now.
Headers, Mufflers, HEI Dizzy, MSD stuff, HydroBoost, Pedals, linkages, Q-Jet,
High flow water-pump, T-stat, Tubing, Etc.... There's just SO MUCH STUFF.

add on CL

I see this add pop up on craigslist pretty regularly that I saved it for when I am up in Sacramento and can go take a look.

It's pretty long, so I'll pm it to you, but they will probably have a good amount of parts you may need at some point. It's in Orangevale.

Nice, what's the going rate there for just the inner grille?

 

[TheBeast_88K5]

I'll let you know tomoro.

I didn't know the pre-'73 trucks had hydroboost as an option, or are you swapping in a later style?

Also, what axle does it have that you're gonna do discs? Is it like a 6-lug Eaton or something?

-- A

5lug 12 bolt

 

[dremu]

5lug 12 bolt

And when I said 6 lug I meant 5 lug, as this is 2WD (Actually, I forgot )

So is the hydroboost stock or later?

-- A

Don't beat your self up on that. '70 is the first year for it, up to '69 2WD was 6 lug.

 

[bigjbear]

So....

And, an EZ-Wiring "21 circuit" complete harness... :gremlins:
*cough* ~Power Windows and Door Locks~ *cough*

Link to info on the harness please. The more I start to fix, I think I'd be ahead just replacing it.

Let us know about the JBA shorties when you get it together. I want to get the cast iron exhaust manifolds off my 454 as well.

 

[Chevy305]

I think EZ Wiring changed their fuse box. The 21 circuit harness I have from them has an almost identical fuse box to the factory 73-87 one

And, you WILL be ahead... Just spend the $130, and BE DONE.

Mike (K5CJ5) said they were on a worked 454, previously.
And, the PO was happy-happy.

It pretty much is....
Power Locks, and Winda'z, here I come...

I don't think they did.
I'm Swapping in a later style hydro setup.

Issaam said it, but yea.... 5-lug 12b.
Gonna toss Caddy calipers out back.
Need an adjustable Prop valve.

Oh, yea.... They're Mini-Blade fuses.

I thought you guys meant the Circuits were the same.
In that regard yes.... Size-wise, no.
