Finnegan's Garage Ep 19: Airbagged, Body Dropped, LS Swapped '67 Chevy C10 Project
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 1 июн 2024
- This is a big moment in my life. I just bought a truck I built a long time ago and thought was gone forever. By pure chance during Power Tour '16 I ran into Justin Padfield of Scott's Hot Rods. He's owned this '67 Chevy that I built back in 2007 for nearly a decade. It was unfinished when I sold it to him and it still is but I'm stoked to have it back because it's the baddest truck I've ever built. There will be many episodes about the rebirth of this truck on Finnegan's Garage as I fix the broken stuff, add more power under the hood and finish what I started. This episode will show you the good, the bad and the ugly of my favorite Chevy truck.

Tilt bed suggestion: Build an oversized version of a double-arm hood pivot mechanism between the storage recesses in the bed and the fuel tank. With the right arm ratio and stops, the bed should initially move straight up enough to allow the roll pan to clear the ground, then rotate back as the arms reach the end of their travel.
Excellent idea
thats actually a really good idea.
Let me take it one step further (but also one step further to breakage too by sheer complexity): If this idea doesn't get enough initial ground clearance, put the entire rear pivot on a cam, and operate the cam off the lower pivot arm. With the right ratio, not only will the bed rise up with an inch or two of extra clearance initially, the entire pivot mechanism will drop that distance once the cam rotates back down.
Come to think of it, the whole system would be pretty slick if operated off the compressor system that runs the airbag suspension.
Or just go old school and do a double diamond zrack...all the basics have already been figured, and he could even use air rams in place of the hydraulics....but hey...what do I know??? right Finnegan????....lol...

I know I’m two years to late but this is probably my favorite episode so far.
I'm in the very same boat. Thou the roadkill stuff never really gelled with me. This, I do like. appears more real and less played out.
@Adam It's a fair question, and one I can't really put my finger on. Cleetus Mcfarlanes channel is the same. I've watched his story on his starting. He's genuine and honest. I like the guy, but the shows seems to cheesy I guess. His black, blown BBC camaro I don't mind.
Finn, where you at on it?

‘67 was my very first truck. My dad had one since I was born loved the small back glass definitely will always have a soft spot in my heart.
Sold my static Silverado 2 years ago, cracked a 22" wheel on horrible city roads- lost all desire to mini truck- this just revived a horrible love of static and bagged. Thanks Finn.
You and Freiberger opened my eyes to just drive shit. Make it work and just drive it! its bad ass just the way it is. paint shmaint!
P.s., you shouldn't of given away your hiding spots, but if I ever see it in person, I'll shove a couple bee,ahem, beverages in there
Tilting the box will just be for show, so take some lift axle air bags from a big rig and put them about 18" in front of the pivot point on the box. You already have the air supply. It would set you back about $150.
i was thinking some mechanism similar to the ones used to open the hoods on the vipers
Hi Rich, you should give him a Cummins to put in it!
bags and hydraulics are everywhere but wormgears are the future
+mike dutdut too slow!
its not a race its a show piece. who cares if it takes a minute to raise its gonna stay up till your done showing.
also with worm gear you could turn with a wrench if you have no power and does not risk slowly falling from an air leak or collapsing from a blowout
This video keeps getting recommended in my feed. I can’t believe it was 6 f’n years ago! Man time flies!!!
I think because I'm 36 I think this truck is friggin awesome. Wish more people would do this style.
Whatever you do, DON'T let Roadkill get a hold of it. Agree on the color, that original color is awesome.
If it were me I would update the air management system, go through the brakes, go through the suspension, keep the wheels, replace the tires with a sticky compound, and I would do something crazy and swap an EcoBoost 3.5 twin turbo V6 with a 6 speed manual of some sort. Why would I go for such a crazy swap (especially mixing a Ford drivetrain in a C10)? Because it would be something fast, handle like it's on rails, and most importantly, it would be something that you'll probably NEVER see again. Call me crazy, but that right there would be worth it to me alone. Well, that, and I'm turbo crazy and the EcoBoost just blows my mind as to its capability and it's longevity. I'm sure you'll go V8 turbo (*cough, cough Tom Nelson NRE engine) which is more than cool with me, but I figured that I would at least give you my opinion. Undoubtedly this is going to be something sick when it's done. Thanks Mike!
Only problem I think would be dealing with the heat that it'll put out, would need to find a better way to get air into the engine. It looks like a tight squeeze for a v8 but that may just be from the video. The power you get out of the ecoboost is amazing and it actually would fit in due to there being an explorer rear end in it already.
Still awesome buds , i know the feeling of losing your baby . I built a 78 over 8 yrs. stripped it out, traded my 660 raptor for my 75 ,sold the 75, I bought my old 75 gmc 3/4 4x4 w/ 83 sheetmetal back , missing parts mind you but its together needs minor work to finish Deere Green Mud Macheen on here if anyone wants to look 😉.
Hey Finn u asked4 suggestions so here goes. U’ve so much time& effort invested I c u going in a completely new direction. Here is1 that honors your labors& harnesses the full length of that8 year temporal lever.
1. Enhance the bed exactly as u envisioned w/a nice tilt +5th wheel &hitch connection 4the rear of that beautiful hand built frame. That way she can show &tow.
2. Remove that dated integral gearbox &install a full electric rack& pinion. This will modernize her& cleanup your engine bay.
3. Install a scroll type electric A/C compressor & electric cabin heater2 modernize her& clean up your engine bay.
4. Install advanced LED halo style main lighting similar to the Challenger &complete the look all the way around her.
5. Install a roll cage, antilock braked &airbags. These items r often overlooked in resto-mods.
6. Finally, consider finding a donor TESLA Model S to harvest the battery& running gear for installing in her engine bay &in place of that fuel tank.
7. Failing the all electric option I would like 2c u install a novel power plant like a gas turbine or a koenigsegg cam-less engine or desmodromic valved engine, etc. This truck is so special that I think she requires some out of the box thinking even beyond 2020. Don’t 4get2 put a drier on your new air management system.
Finn even if u reinstall another fossil fuel engine, the other suggestions will greatly simplify your engine bay& relieve u of parasitic drags associated w/more complex accessory drive systems. I’m an old NIASE Master Tech turn Administrator long ago & now retired. Personally I would love 2cu drive her daily after she is all tricked out. U don’t have 2b loud. U need not honor the past. She can b what U want her 2b &we will b watching u, dreaming thru u& your efforts. Good luck brother. I will b watching.
Man this channel is pretty freaking cool, it varies so much nice job buddy
thanks!
I agree 100%! Seeing stuff like this makes me feel more and more normal every day! -No, we're not all crazy!
Sick truck! I used to want that same C10 slammed with bags. Great truck cant wait to see the finish product. Should put the 90s scissor dump on the bed it would be a beast!
That truck may be a little outdated... But it will ALWAYS be cool! With all the work that's already done, get it car show ready. If done right (and we know you are capable) that thing could still win awards.
As a former member of Subversive minitruck club in So Cal I remember how excited I was when my 91 toyota got bagged and I railed the crap out of it including being a reflector removal tool on the freeway. I loved and miss those days. Your video brought back memories and like most of us my style has changed but not deviated from my passion of having a bagged truck. Great video brother. That IRS and stock floor is sick. My goal is to build a 1949 GMC 100 A High HP daily railer. Can't wait to see your finished trick. You've earned a sub bro!
This thing is awesome, would love to see it cruising with a 383 stroked aluminium LS with a fat cam.
Definitely get this thing done man, that rear end is a work of art
Throw a 4bt cummins in there it's always been my dream to build a c10 diesel
twelve valve might be super cool; banks turbo, getrag trans, 850+ftlbs... very juicy, very cool. a little loud maybe but also super dope.
That'd be even better man
I'm building one with a 6.2
+hunter collins bad ass dude
Black Betty!
MORE! LS7 and 6060, would be the best truck in the world. In my opinion.
I like this guy. He is an honest dude, no allures.
I smell a VS. THE MUSCLE TRUCK coming our way ...
This will KILL IT!!!!!
Exactly, throw an LS3 or something similar in there and walk the muscle truck down the strip.
the mazdaratti was faster than the muscle truck before it blew ring lands with the nitrous
cuerpohumanomaquinaperfecta
Loving that you got back your old project keep up the great work Mike!
I definitely have to say that this is one if not the best "Mini" truck with independent rear suspension that I have ever seen, I was truly blown away when you raised and lowered the rear suspension on how minimum the camber changed throughout the up and down movement of the suspension, I owned my own shop for a lil over 10 years building custom cars, trucks, and bikes, the best vehicle that I built is a 94 GMC Suburban that took 3rd place at the end of the Lowrider tour show that was in Las Vegas which I am proud to say pissed off a few lowrider there because, first off, she was literally the only vehicle there that wasn't on wire wheels which is normally a requirement to be considered a "lowrider" second, this was the first and only Lowrider show she had ever been in which was a feat in its own because the rules for the Lowrider show in Vegas state you had to win 3rd or better at several shows that are part of the Lowrider tour so it was asked to be at the show in Vegas by the people who run the tour, these are not the only things that pissed people off, the Suburban was the only show vehicle in the show that didn't have full chromed out suspension components, to hell, she didn't even have chromed out parts under the hood, the motor is completely stock with the exclusion of the K&N filter and intake tube, very few mini truckers out there spend a ton of money chroming thousands of parts under the hood, let alone under their vehicle or on their suspension, the Suburban is a daily driver so the frame is filthy, dirt and rocks, pebbles, etc. are in every nook cranny under the vehicle unless it's a trailer Queen and not driven to take kids to school or pick them up, now don't get me wrong, the customer who is now a very close, personal, and family friend has done just about anything you can think of to the body, she is fully shaved, door handles, tail lights, body molding, all found their respectful place in the scrap pile, the second set of doors were suicided, a 40"x 70" sliding rag along with an electric sunroof were installed into the roof, 99 Toyota Supra tail lights were frenched into the barn door, she had a full multi media system was installed in the interior along with a PlayStation 2 (top of the line at the time of course) her system was amazing with mids and separates installed in all 6 doors along with TV's installed in the back 4 doors, along with 2 flat screen TVs installed in the custom center counsel, the stereo system easily hit 256db while playing "Lamb of God" The 2 front bench seats were removed and replaced with 4 Racing seats complete with 4 point racing harnesses (just because our cub motto was " Dare 2 B Different") she wasn't sponsored by anyone so everything that was done, was covered by hard earned cash, the paint job after everything was painted in the interior, under the hood, and the exterior of the truck, complete with air brush work that consisted of skulls that appeared to be resting on rock under the black base coat with lightning bolts shooting out from under the paint job, skulls and lightning bolts painted through out the interior, finished off with the woman from Ozzy Osborne's Ultimate sin album cover airbrushed on the hood on top of the black base coat followed with a blue pearl, the skulls and rock are exposed by the base appearing to rip and peal to expose everything underneath, the Suburban sat on a full air bag suspension, uses half inch valves and D.O.T air line, 2 Fair compressors, a 5 gallon D.O.T Saddle tank normally equipped on a big rig with an emergency shrader valve hidden behind the rear frenched in license plate just in case the compressors fail so the tank can be filled to get her home, she has only had 2 air bags and one compressor replaced since the system was installed roughly 10 years ago, yes I know I'm rambling on but it was an honor having a hand in building this bad ass truck that has won at every show she has entered and is still on the road today
Please bring this thing back to life. I've been waiting for it in an episode!
All I ask for is a manual transmission
its getting one.
Thank you! I had a 69 c-10 but I had to get rid of it also. good luck on the build, rear suspension setup is really awesome. Nice to know if you spend a little more time on a build it can turn out that well
excellent a proper transmission super dope
I never understood people whining about lowered trucks. Saying things about how trucks are made to haul and work. I have bad news for 90% of the cars you modified. They weren't meant to go fast or race either. Most are family cars and commuters. A truck is a great platform for good "bones". Most of the time, people have to stiffen cars chassis' because of being a unibody. Trucks come with frames already. Just a thought.
Tilt bed, for that low of a truck, you're going to want to have hinges between the frame and a couple arms that the bed slides on, those arms will have two air cylinders each to the frame and to the bed. So, with the truck up, you tilt the bed back, then you lift the bed up to be higher than the frame, then you set the truck down. Lets you have the bed totally vertical, tailgate/bumper on the ground right behind the end of the frame.
Rib the floor of the truck bed (chrome rails) and install plexiglass panels in the same direction as the original wood. You will get a semi-functional truck bed, minus the trouble of a tilt bed, and still see the awesomeness beneath.
I cant imagine how mad your wife would be if that truck sees paint before the el camino
My thoughts exactly
Was thinking the same haha :D
almost worth the arguement
she make actually do me bodily harm if that happens.
Finnegan's Garage Hahaha :D
Welcome back to C10 land, brother! Love it!
thanks!
I used to build dump trailers, the only way to have a dump bed without scraping in my semi expert opinion would be to beef up the roll pan and hinge the bed as far back as you can. Or possibly have four independent lift cylinders where the back two raise a few inches and the front raises as far up as you want the tilt. Hope this helps. Beautiful truck also.
I'm thinking four air cylinders at each corner.
If you let her go and she comes back to you . It was meant to be my friend . She loves you and only you !!! 😁😁😁😁 Make her feel young again !!! 😎😎😎😎😎
mmmm... a tiltbed !!!! yes! I like it even more now !
no way!!! how did i not know this channel existed???!?!!?
I feel you bro, wishing he made a channel since roadkill days. Never knew he actually made one! Lol
Only if I new, but definitely going to subscribe
It's still pretty new. So that is probably why. You don't have too much to catch up on XD
Yeah I don't see how he has so many subs it's crazy! lol I wish my channel blew up like his
Jon Mar 😀😀👏😀👏😀👏😀👏😀👏😀👏😀😀😀👏😀👏😀😀👏👏😀👏😀👏😀👏😀👏😀👏😀👏
Man, this truely hits home. I have owned a 68 long bed that I drove through high school, and a 67 Short step project that never took off. I REALLY want another. REALLY BAD. That is a very nice base to start with. No rust lol.
I did the exact same thing to my 2001 Ford ranger. The ride alone was unreal compared to a solid rear end. The reason I changed the whole rear end from the cab back is because I got rear-ended and the frame got bent and it was my daily driver in highschool. My mom and dad were school teachers so they couldn't help me with money so I had to build it right the first time and I was a runner for a lawyer and drove 200 to 250 miles a day. I miss my truck bad
The truck is nasty. Can't wait to see this build come together. This would be sick with an LSA motor in it.
Blown LS would be ideal.
We can rebuild him! We have the technology!
it should race the muscletruck...
Cool i like it because it is cool
Really like the color hope you do get it redone in that color
Hell yeah, old school minitruckin'.
I have an idea for the door latch.
I saw it on another car years ago.
The guy used a remote to lower the window , and then, after the window was down he would reach in and push down on the door lock which actually was connected to the door latch.
So, buy pushing down on the lock, activated the door latch.
I thought that was pretty cool.
I just wanted to leave one idea of what you could do with this truck. How about making it the Finnegan's Garage project vehicle?
Perhaps this truck build can become a part of the channel aimed towards making a difference for your fellow enthusiasts community. Get some knowledgable fans to help out on the show or something like that.
When finished it could be really cool taking it cross country to meet fans and such along the way.
that's a great idea!
+Finnegan's Garage the truck is beautiful. I think it has a lot of potential for sure bro!
Maybee swap in a Diesel engine or something because diesels are awsome, I could help you with CAD design if you need anything, but im very busy in school
Finnegan already has Blasphemi, but every garage needs a Shop Truck! B-)
the rims look fine
Sure wish I could find the two cars I built when I was younger... 1973 Mazda RX2 with a 400ci Pontiac motor and trans out of a 1972 Pontiac Catalina...1969 9 inch Mercury Cougar rear end...most fun/danger I think I have ever been in a car. My other car was 1977 Pontiac Astre with 1972 Cadillac Eldorado 501ci with the trans-axle all mounted in the back of the Astre. Narrowed the arms/axles so the whole deal fit inside the contour of the Astre. Interior was all 1978 Monza...home made headers and the rear lid was from a 1975 Vega. A friend of mine named Tom Garcia was the real brains/talent behind these creations but together we made some really wild stuff that was mostly dangerous but lots of fun. Never laughed so hard in my whole life during the times we would build things... If you ever run out of odd ideas for cars on RoadKill I still have a bunch of as yet never built. I was hoping my son would get the bug but he never did...maybe my grand kids will.?
Go 4 hydraulic Rams and make the truck bed lift straight up, it would be awesome to have the bed lowered down and then air down your bags, it goes from a ridiculous hight to being insanely low to the ground, the maintenance aspect of a a vertical lift bed is a mini truckers dream with the bonus of looking good, hope to hear back cheers from Australia :)
Will this truck be in a episode of Roadkill??
That trucks way to nice for roadkill!!😂
I add another vote for using this truck in a roadkill episode
probably more likely to be on Hot Rod Garage... presented by Lincoln Tech :DDDDD
that's not a Roadkill vehicle unless they do something with it that it's not sposed to do. Which would likely trash it. Remember? He likes this truck and put real effort into it. More likely Lincoln Tech Fodder as previously stated. And whoever said Cummins should probably get on their Harley, ride it to their Camaro and then jump on every other bandwagon that sheople typically jump on.
Mike Hagen the Bel air Hemi was on roadkill.
Instead of tilting the bed, you should put air cilinders in all corners of the bed that can lift the complete bed till roof hight
You lucky thing! I had a Yam TZR125 motorcycle I'd love to get back - you got your youth-hood dream truck back, and your current fleet means you can build that dream without compromises like tow hitches and whatnot that you'd have had to have done if you'd done it 8 years ago! I have to admit, I don't share your enthusiasm for the truck, but I love how much you love it! Build your dream and show it to us!
I'm no expert Mr. Finnegan but I think for the bed to flip up like you want it to you would have to use two shocks or whatever they're called and have the rear one raise up along with the front one; have the rear one stop and a certain point and the front one continue to travel in order for the bed to flip back. I love watching your show and I wish I had friends like you who are so creative and talented at customization.
that truck is awesome!
If he finished that 8 years ago he would of been on the map , its hard to imagine vacating a project as sweet as this it must of consumed A LOT OF time. Only way I could see just selling it.
I just know there are those holy grail moments this truck could of been "the one" know what I mean
i was broke. lol
+Finnegan's Garage I sold a 20k race quad for 2500$ when 22 years old and broke.
the dude everyone been there done that hope to never repeat
I think if you can, try to finish it off with all mid 2000s period stuff. exactly the way you would have originally done it. And just leave it at that!
good idea. what would you use?
I have no idea. My knowledge of lowered trucks is extremely limited. Since you have no wiring or anything you could put any motor you want in it. Like an enormous turbocharged Hemi... haha.
Make the tray tilt towards the cabin to stay true to early 2000's customization styling. Also consider lambo doors.
+Finnegan's Garage put the boat motor in it lol
Minitrucker here. Manual valves, nice carbed v8. Keep the wheels, or get something similar. My next truck will be a C-10.
great episode.. i would go full old school.. vintage parts cleaned up, all old school tech, old school subwoofer/audio install..
a tribute to the 90's mini trucking scene
That is a bad ass truck! I love the backend. I have a 1967 El Camino I want to do the backend, so I can put Micky T's drag radials
on so I can race it.
I know what you need to do to the truck. Turbo! Turbo! Turbo! El Mirage Land Speed run!!
The BUICK Century that you dug out of the thorn bushes needs a chassis like that one.
Unfortunately it bend in half beyond repair
Wouldnt it be funny if he painted this truck before he does his wifes Elco. LMAO!
YES! Finally a youtuber with a minitruck i am 16 and im buildin a mini truck. It is a 1970 datsun 521. I like my truck alot... but damn that c10 is sexy and i appreciate all the work that was put into that thing.
Thank Wife & Kids first I know you are a great dad and a badass wrench
stick an 2JZ in it, that would be cool and different =P
I know but they don't like Japanese engines
+RB25luv This was what I would like to eventually do!
I'm rooting for a Roush Yates.
that is some dumb shit that spewed out of your mouth.. needs v8
2 jizz lol
You can bag the hinge rail to raise the hinge before you raise the front. Say, I have a 4.3 with a 700R4 behind it. You don't need to go THAT fast, do you??
Mini trucks and air bags are not my style but I can certainly appreciate all the fabrication that went into this build. I can't wait to see whats next for it. Glad you got it back!
as a 6'9" guy who drives an '89 dime... I'd kill for this truck!
Whatever you do, don't put an engine in it, because then it will never get painted.
paint jobs suck
Well then he NEEDS to get it running, because if the C-10 get painted before the El Camino, he's going to be sleeping in it.
LOL. Guess he needs 3 gallons of that blue/green, paint them both at the same time....
Never a truer word has ever been written LOL Pluse if you paint it now you can have engine compartment painted the same color as the rest... Just saying that is always so cool!! Oh yea and by the way this is bad ass truck
Bwahahahaha! I love that comment.
1:10
That's my son, that i built
cantilever the tilt for the bed , angled arms attached solid to the bed at the rear (think of how a hood hinge works , brings the hood forward away from the cowl , then up ) , and let them pivot at the frame , and use traditional electro hydro lift installed backwards of how they usually are , it will push the bed back and up at the rear , and raise at the front like a dump truck ,this method does require a power up , and down hyd set up to work , I hope my description makes sense , I was once into dragging the ground , and had to overcome the ground clearance to tip the bed up ...
Ohh yes pls. make a tilt bed, that would be so cool. The rear end deserves to be admired.
454 stoked to 502. ...
Back spacing for front just looks lazy, not ' off'.
He didn't say they were off he said they were wrong. And everyone makes mistakes.
just get a 502
tamapalagi Or a 572
John Kifflom or a 632
C 10 VS MUSCLE TRUCK
That Truck is really cool. Just such a pity I will never be able to drive one around here... German regulations won't be happy... And I bet every Cop will love to check your paperwork with that around here...
Hope you keep on building such cool trucks and make Videos along the way, for us who can't do such cool stuff, to enjoy.
Greetings from Germany.
literally the coolest C10 on the planet. also miller lite is the best. you sir win the internet for the day
airbrush a wooden floor on the bed !!
That's a fantastic idea!
that would look really nice.
wood panel wall paper from home depot
Yah go to home depot and get some wall paper , so can strip it off and redo it twice a year , even in bathrooms they can't use wall paper because of moisture . What i would do , is go get some lace curtains and do a super cheap spray can lace and border design .
laminate floor
Whe is freiburger gonna make a RUclips channel.
They could seriously brand them selves as their last names and everything would be just fine without MT
Finnegan and Fri's
He has one he just doesn't upload
He has one, he never posts anything on it.
I been saying since day one Fry could label his own Zip Ties.
I would buy them.
With Fin, it would be Beer, like... "Fin's furry suds".
This was the first Finnegan's garage episode I ever watched.
It was before I put two and two together I had watched a few episodes of Roadkill TV.
I'm fairly certain I have now watched every episode of RKTV, FG, RK garage. And probably most of Dirt Everyday.
Thanks Mike, David, Lucky and everyone else on camera and behind the camera. Keep putting out all of these great shows
Had that same 67 C10 yrs ago. I did a lot of body mods to it also. I made the all metal tilt front end, deleted the beak on the cab and shaved the rain rail. I airbaged mine as well. Dump bed shortbox would be cool
Damn. That's one hell of a bitchen truck. Subbed.
wait, Did you build the truck or your son when you were at sport truck magazine?
😂
I had the same thought.
if it was about 8 years ago, it coulda been both... maybe
Just when I thought finnegans garage couldn't get any better 🤗🙃
yea Sport Truck was my most favorite magazine. out of all the others, Sport Truck just did everything i liked. just done right.
Instead of having a tilt bed, why not have a bed that fully raises? Possibly even as high as over the height of the cab....?
scissor lift bed
Exactly!
been done you are talking 80s stuff
yep, like a double diamond z rack...tilts boh sides(so it also raises, and it tilts back....plus it is usually a fairly a compact design that could even go in the back...might need some fuel tank replacement or mod...but really...can even run it off of air rams....doesnt have to go fast like the old school mini's but still would be a great way to show off...
2 issues
1 he intends to put battery in one compartment. that would add a considerable length to the cables required and put your power supply at risk when raising and lowering as the cable may get pinched stretched or just wear over time
2 if other compartment holds beverage, raising the bed will put it out of reach
did anyone else notice the Maybach S600 in the beginning of the video?
i'm all about that built not bought as well, but the maybach is still pretty cool.
screw the merc. where is blasphemy?
yes
blasphemy looked to be sitting in the garage
Sean Byington
I'd say use something like a hood hinge so that it lifts the bed a couple inches before it starts tilting. you could also use the same design of a hood hinge but machine some aluminum and put some little pneumatic cylinders on it to lift it remotely and it would look fantastic. love the build
Don't worry about the bag/shock clearance being close while it's down, bags get narrower when they go up, so at ride height it'll be fine.
you're not a man if you don't put a 500 hp duramax with a six speed manual behind it in there
or hell i dunno, maybe an lq4 with some good heads, cam, and intake
lol you thought of those engines using both sides of your brain didn't you?
@finnegansgarage best reply ever
572 bbc*
Duramax ftw
Finnegan's Garage
one will bolt right in, the other would be a bit harder haha
Another MOPAR engine to piss off the Chevy guys
Why would he wanna put a junk dodge engine in it? It would go a hell of a lot slower with that boat anchor. LS is the only way to go
+Captain Dammit don't disrespect the blasphemi
+Captain Dammit it was a suggestion
Did you just make this profile to comment?
+ramairgto72 what?
Double axis hinges with spring loads first lifts and moves the bed up and away from the cab then the second hinge has a heavy duty spring which takes the weight of the bed and tips it back n hey presto will also need a fixing to hold the the first spring loaded hinge and the whole bed in place like a few longish bolts into captive nuts under the bed then a recessed cover for them if you wanted to be extra slick
I always loved this truck. I ran onto a build thread somewhere about it and became obsessed.
curious as to what is left on the truck that is 67?
the cab, bedsides and fenders. that's about it.
The style!
10 sheets of paper? Wouldn't it be nice to have metrics to measure something accurately? ;)
Nice build!
Savage.
Sorry moon rocks can only be measured with Imperial.
metrics? go back to England
I was going to say about a credit card's worth...lol.....'murica!!! lol
metrics and england...really?
first off, a metric is a thing. second...metric and england?
2 long throw gas shocks ( type used for hatchback etc) and two hinges at the rear . For show you could use two power activated plungers to lift the bed up . Some hidden locking pins to keep the bed down with driving there you go . Like the paint black paint on the hauler.
I have the 402BBC MK4 with a Crane 260/272 flat tappet cam. I also prefer a Qjet or a spread bore Holley both with factory intake. Mind you, the BBC's inhale very well but do not exhale very well.
For a 402 to live happily, better fasteners are needed head to heel. I have a handful of them.
The. MK4 BBC will not use oil or leak if you let her idle for 5 minutes before usage. I don't care what the temperature is, just it works. And good luck on finding a 402.
Just don't destroy it with *another* carb or TBI setup...
or hemi lol
What would you propose for fuel/air delivery then?
He just needs to do real EFI and not the fake MSD shit that mounts like a carb. Direct injection.
+Zaki Jr Kahl carb has the best power at wot.
Wide Open Throttle

Similar beard architecture I suppose.
Totally tickled to see you talk about my son, Phil Rohr and about his new truck.
I built a tilt bed on a mini truck using air rams with internal shafts .got 6 feet of travel but when compressed they were 3 feet long . fit great under the bed. I had to install a slow bleed regulator so it wouldnt slam down it lowered at 6 inches a second . I also installed a scissor lock incase a ram blew out .
Who the hell dislikes this?
please put some smaller wheels that poke out, stance truck!
Awesome to see you got your C10 back! Your right you should have never sold it in the first place, cant wait to see the progress!
You are right that it "was cool for its time" but its merely completely unequivocally badass for this time.
you all ready have me drooling for the next part of this truck build
my favorite generation of C/10!!! '71-72 is absolutely my fav. Love the frame and linkage (engineer, here)!
I have a '66 C-10 you'd probably adore. The floor pans are made out of old Maytag Washing Machines.
