Thread: My 79 Chevy Big Ten

No worries on the decal for that truck, looks good enough to me and we're all in it for the same reason. I'm still waiting on my decal guy to get them printed/laminated, cut and ready to apply, they aren't cheap 5 minute deals, it takes 24 hours to dry the ink on these things (yeah, he's picky) but damn do they look good. I should have some available very shortly, and will let you guys and girls know and will hand them out again upon request @ another A&W meet like last time. Hope to see you guys Saturday!

Tony

Awesome thanks Tony! Im not gonna make it this friday or saturday at A&W. Damn DMV is shitting the stick on my tags for the truck. They were supose to be here before November. Since they are closed Fridays im having to wait till Monday to pick them up. Nice huh? But my Brother Dustin is gonna be out there. He drives the grey 69 superbee thats tubbed. If you get the stickers by then shoot one over to him. I will run your name and get some more people on this website. I like it by the way! Gotta get some new pics on my truck ive done some exterior stuff to it and it looks cleaner. Gotta get my cowl hood on it too. Its slowley coming along.

thats horrible..damn dmv..well hopefully you will be able to get your tags this next week and you will be able to drive it around..how big of a cowl are you putting on it?

Yea im pretty mad at DMV right now. I really wanted to drive my truck this weekend. Its been sitting for 2 weeks now just cuz i dont drive it all the time. Owell. The cowl is 3 1/2inches. As tall as the one i had on my mustang. I actually found this cowl for my truck at westside auto dismantlers and its in perfect condition. The only thing is its fiberglass and some of the tips needed to be redone. But that was a cheep fix concidering the hood cost me 50 bucks! Not too bad, saved me 400 plus bucks! I loved my cowl on the mustang, it made a difference and even though a cowl on a step side truck prolly wont look as good as on a flet side im still going to run with it cuz it helps out the motor.

That's cool . I need to look at some of those places for little things for my el camino but I just wanna get it running first lol

I went to auto dismantlers a couple weeks ago looking for parts for the turbo eclipse, didn't hardly find crap, only one eagle talon (non turbo) and an eclipse rs (non turbo). Got some interior parts, nothing fancy and it was humid the day we went and we were dying of heat trying to take stuff apart lol. 3.5 cowl is a good size, just suprised you found one there!

Oh yea, my brother in law had a turbo eclipse and it was fun to drive! Yea ive been out there when it was hot and it sucks! Its like a desert out there! Im gonna go out there in the morning to just walk around and see what else i can find for either my truck or my husbands. He's restoring his old 79 ford f100. He just put a brand new 302 in it but no mods yet. The day i found that cowl hood out there felt like a dream. I seen this bashed up fletside c10 sitting by its self like it had just been moved out there and i walked over only to find that damn hood laying in the back bed of that truck. First words outta my husbands mouth was, "Its no good, prolly smashed." But as we got closer and lifted it up it was PERFECT! I told him its mine! So thats how i got my 50 dollar cowl. Never know whatcha gonna find.

67ELKO-yea i see alot of your cars out there. Just depends on what they have but you can find some good parts out there they may need a lil paint but can't beat the price. Id recomend it.

O really..thats odd i have been to alot of those kinds of places and i cant find any 1967 el caminos..thanks for the info i will have to go check that out
