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

[TheBeast_88K5]

Got a chrome Dipstick, for the TH400..... Same price as the factory black one.
So, I bought the chrome one.

Also picked up new SS Bell housing bolts, TC bolts, and some stickers.... Cuz I like stickers.
dont worry... I'm keeping it classy.

 

[TheBeast_88K5]

Got some stuff...

 

[TheBeast_88K5]

Got these awesome hood locks, too...

 

[TheBeast_88K5]

This Grant wheel, and the adapter, were $15 from Pick-n-pull!

 

[TheBeast_88K5]

I love coming from a 4x4 community....

Adapter, no adapt?....
Adapt it!!!

 

[TheBeast_88K5]

Whole interior....

 

[livid4dirt]

Coming right along, looking good!

 

[TheBeast_88K5]

Took a few more, cuz I'm REALLY happy that the interior is almost done.
Just a couple more things, and the inside will be finished.

As she sits, I can drive it... The rest is just 'pretty' stuff.


At the helm...
*And, yes... The obligatory motor sounds were made, with my mouth.
Notice the gas pedal on the floor, and the Tach at 2k.... With no powertrain.

Why Duke-Boy's Radio setup?
Because Race-Truck!

Clean.

Totally lost me with that wheel...

 

[TheBeast_88K5]

Totally lost me with that wheel...

Fwiw... I'll be replacing it, someday.
But, I needed a wheel pronto, and this saved me $$$ better spent elsewhere.

 

[tRustyK5]

What was wrong with the stock wheel?

 

[TheBeast_88K5]

What was wrong with the stock wheel?

Aside from being bus-sized, it was all broken up.

 

[tRustyK5]

What color was it? I have a black one here on my K5 in perfect shape, but I'm gonna swap the stock one on to sell the truck...

 

[TheBeast_88K5]

The factory wheel was tan.

Totally lost me with that wheel...

X2

 

[TheBeast_88K5]

Sorry guys.
Someday I'll have a nice wheel.... Someday.

Why do you guys dislike it so?
Better options?

 

[TheBeast_88K5]

What do you guys think about this one?

 

[TheBeast_88K5]

I don't mind buying a new wheel.
I got the wheel and adaptor for $15.... So, it's no loss to me.

 

[TheBeast_88K5]

Oh yea.... I installed hood locks.
*I swear, I could hear rust-belt guys crying, in the back of my mind.


I'm not a big fan of the polished look... Thinking of color matching them.
And, completely disregard the grille.... It's only on there, so code enforcement will leave me alone.

 

[Chevy305]

Why did you place the hood pins so close to the center line of the hood?
