PCHRODS C10R (1967 Chevrolet C-10)

[PCHRODS]

I finally got around to finishing the tonneau yesterday. I'm pretty happy with how it turned out. I know some will ask what the seam in the rear is about..... the front section of the cover tilts up like a normal tonneau to access the bed, shocks, battery, fuel system, etc. the year section is fixed mounted for the fuel filler and the rear aero is attached to it. This way I won't have to undo the spoiler everytime I need to fuel up. I wanted that stuff easily obtainable.

You and me both aggie......i went back and forth a hundred times on the wheel color. Finally said just do it, nothing like jumping into the unknown with both feet?

Rob. I saw this thread title and I had to jump in just so I could tell you how badass the goldish wheels are! I love gold wheels and have been stoked on the look of this truck ever since I saw Matt post a link/pics on his facebook.

[RobNoLimit]

Looks good. did you use alumna-lite panels?

[Slick68]

How did you mount the seats? any pics? Also, do you have any pics of the roll cage?

[PCHRODS]

If you go to the c10r facebook page there's
ton of pics of the cage in the albums

[PCHRODS]

As requested here are some shots of the cage when we were building it.

I like how you tucked your rear down bars into the rear B pillar. I did not want to get into paint, so I didn't do it.

Odd question, is this built to a spec? I was looking at your design when I did mine and all my rules require at least one corner-to-corner diagonal bar in the rear main hoop.

[Gas Huffer]

Badass !!

[protouring70]

Are you mounting your belts to the bar going across the rear window

[PCHRODS]

Bovey

It really depends on who's specs you are referring to. I don't think I will get too much grief on the cage it has more bars than it really needs. If I can't run because of my cage, then.....we go to an event that we can run it. ;)

Yes, the bar is actually recessed into the rear sheetmetal below the window and then there are two slots cut out in it for the belts to pass through. I wanted to achieve the tightest possible configuration i could, as we all know there isn't an over abundance of room in these cabs

Dude this truck is amazing dude it's freaken sweat can I have it  bro random question how much does a project like dis cost you ? Hope you reply back PCHRODS 1967 CHEVROLET C10R

Rob,
The truck looks awesome. What size wheels and tires do you run on the red truck? What size and backspacing would fit in my stock stepside without major modifications? Looking forward to you guys hitting an event on the east coast next year so I can hitch a ride.

[PCHRODS]

I think if I sat down and put all the numbers together I would be sick to my stomach. I have been building this truck for the last 2+ years....I don't think I want to know how much I have in to it. neither does my wife ;)

Red truck? you may have me confused with Rob MacGregor. which does happen from time to time, He's rob, I'm rob, he runs a c10, I run a C10.....I could see this easy mix up.. but He is running a red 69 C10 with I believe 18x11 or 12's on that truck. But if I am mistaken and you mean our Black and Copper Truck, that one has 19x10 and 19x12's front and rear. The C10R has 18x12's on all four corners...

Well, we received some disturbing news the other day. We had bought an LS engine on ebay from a GM dealership, ad said 9,000 miles with valve train noise. Which I was cool with, because we were planning on replacing all the valve train anyways including heads. So I went down this route because it was cheaper than buying a new one. I even spoke to the guy on the phone before purchasing, explained it all to me...blah blah blah to say the least. So I decided to tear the motor down on Monday so we could start building it. I took the Left head off and to my amazement I found 2 cracked pistons, pretty much making me want to throw up. Then I took the passenger side head off and same thing. So I came to the conclusion the valve train noise was actually piston pieces bouncing around in the cylinders. So needless to say I got the short end of the stick.....Unfortunetly I purchased this engine about a year ago. I took the guys word for it, bad idea. Back to square one on the engine. which sucks because we don't really have the budget to be buying motors left and right. But I have to get the truck done...so the search is on. Anybody have a aluminum 5.7 or 6.0 short block they want to donate to the cause? LOL

Sorry Rob, looking at all of the pictures, it comes across as black and red on my computer screen instead of black and copper. All the more reason for you guys to bring them to the east coast so I can see them up close and personal.

[PCHRODS]

Glenn,
You may be in luck, our schedule for next year does include some east coast events. At least for the C10R for now, probably not the 69 just yet. But I hope to get both trucks out there.

Wow... I can't wait to see the trucks in person

Keep me updated on your schedule. And if I had an LS block laying around, I'd ship it to you.
