Front is 2.5" CPP dropped spindles and then 2" lowering springs with half a coil chopped off. Rear is 4" drop springs, 2" lowering blocks, relocated shocks and then a adjustable track bar.

Thank you!

yep. 2.5" pipe and long tube headers along with the 40s

All 4 wheels are 15"x8" Corvette Rally's

Cam is a factory GM L79 (327ci/350hp) mufflers are Flowmaster 40s

well I dont really do any automotive work for others, its just a hobby to me and the only way I can afford it, but if you were to pay a actual shop I would not be surprised if your looking north of $60k for a similar truck.

@@camaroboy1968ss OK, thanks for replying

Front tires are 245/60/15s and the rear are 275/60/15s. The drop is more like a 5/6. Front is 2.5" dropped spindles, 2" lowering coils that then have half a coil cut off. Rear is 4" lowering springs, 2" lowering blocks, relocated shocks and then a adjustable panhard bar. NO C notch in the frame.

Thanks so much for your reply! Are those 8” all the way around or 7” up front? Cheers, Gary

@@garypatrick2881 8" front and rear

Would those be standard Corvette Rally wheels? Sorry for all the questions. I printed out a pic of this truck months ago before I found your TH-cam channel last night. Your truck is as close to a vision I’ve had for my own build as I’ve come across.

@@garypatrick2881 they would be, but I am still actually running 6 lug. These are aftermarket wheels that match factory Corvette Rally's. The trim rings and center caps are re pops I got off ebay.

No it is not.

maybe, but the amount of bodywork the box needed, it was not worth it. Pictures never really showed how bad it was. A forklift had hit it on one side and buckled both layers of the side. That hit also then dropped the load into the bed and just made a mess of the floor and tubs. Plus to me short beds are better than a long bed. I drove the truck as a long box for a bit and was tired of it.

Hard to say. Ive never had a true 30-30 cam to compare it too, but I know these Nostalgia+ cams have been refined over the old GM design to be a "better" cam. The cam is a very streetable camshaft with a manual transmission. It would need a decent stall for an automatic.

It woke the 327 up, got alot more "talk" at idle but once you wind it up to 3-4k it really gets with the program even with the manifolds. the L79 cam woke up a little earlier than this cam but kind of then flatlined. Where this cam in the butt dyno just keeps pulling.

depends on what your goals are. If your wanting to go the full restoration route. Then start pulling the truck apart in sections, take pictures of how things come apart so you can reference later on when putting it back together. Bag nuts/bolts/screws and tag what they are for. There is alot of unique hardware used through out and some it not reproduced so best to save it all for when you put the truck together again. If your wanting to just get up and driving, tackle any leaks, do a complete fluid change of everything, maybe redo the brakes and replace any rubber fuel line or brake line as that stuff rots out from sitting. It all kind of depends on what your wanting to do. I drove this truck for a year before I tore into it and did the full restoration while I planned things out.

It just factory Medium Blue Poly that was offered on these trucks. Look up a chip book page for a 67 Chevy pickup. They used the same colors in 68, even the page in a 68 ppg chip book says to refer to a 67.

Comp Cam Nostalgia 30-30H

thanks! its been a good little truck in the family. Has seen many drag strip passes and been all up and down the west coast the 30+ years its been together now. Getting close to a refresh on everything.

Yeah you can use it. Yeah you used one of my video of my 68 camaro before.

@@camaroboy1968ss thanks. Oh yeah forgot about that one. Well sorry to ask for 2 of your videos. I try not to do that to make people think I’m trying to put there whole channel on mine

@@americanmusclemaniac9565 its cool, you can use any of the start up videos I have, just give me a heads up on which ones.

@@camaroboy1968ss th-cam.com/video/Gr-yn_oYEVo/w-d-xo.html th-cam.com/video/_Pa6tNIKSvc/w-d-xo.html I don’t have very many cold starts of these cars on my channel yet and would like to feature then on the channel. I have to ask if your alright with that cause I don’t want it to seem like I’m forcing you to let me use them

Stock 67/68 C10 Medium Blue Poly

Well when I cut the truck down from a long bed to short bed, I ditched the 2 piece driveshaft and went to a 1 piece unit and dumped that carrier bearing. With that I then made it a slip yolk as it was in the Chevelle the transmission it came out of. If you are just swapping the 465 for a car muncie 4 speed, you will need to shorten the front piece. I am not sure if the output shaft splines are the same between the 465 and car muncie's so that could be an issue as well.

@@camaroboy1968ss gotcha. I must retain the center bearing so the coils will swing the length of the rear shaft in and out correctly since I am keeping the long wheelbase. Both transmissions use the same length 10 spline input I believe, but a 26 spline like a T5 has will also work. I was thinking to throw it in, shorten the front shaft, and use the Muncie slip yoke on the front, it just wouldn't slide anymore. Just haven't seen this exact swap done before.

@@markjohnson9495 yeah just shorten the front shaft. I would double check and make sure both yolks are the same length. I never did check that. Only other time I have dealt with a 2 piece drive shaft where the yolk was non slip at the trans was a T10 4 speed out of a Buick and its yolk was much shorter, so you would need to cut down a bit more on the drive shaft so that the slip yolk for the muncie is not bottoming out. As long as there is a big of gap at end, you should be fine.

69 c10 here. I love it, it has 350 700r4 combo. 18mpg on highway only. So sucks fuel abit for a daily driver. Apart from fuel and upgrades doesn't cost alot else though. I tend to just use her when iv a job to do. Buy one and get wrenching 👍❤️

@@Harrybowles1969 I got a 1988 S10 that’s my daily driver right now. My Dad bought it brand new when I was a little kid. I had engine rebuilt and it repainted and it looks like a new one. It looks good and is as reliable as anything is. Most of all it’s paid for lol. But I need a full size truck sometimes and definitely going to do the same thing I did with dads S10 to a C10. Only thing I’ll probably change on a C10 is putting a holly fuel injection on it and likely a tremec 5 speed transmission.

@@JohnnyRebKy nice!. Iv always had a hankering for a classic s10 to make a (fast truck). Maybe a 400 small block or something. Yes fuel injection and a 5 speed would be nice for economy and put more ponies to the pavement! Mine is a quadrajet runs too good to mess with it or I'd be doing same 👍

Car is not for sale

@@camaroboy1968ss cam? And can you tell me what the exhaust setup is. I love the way it sound so I wanna try and get it close as I can on a c10

@@chandlerfaber6869 Cam is a Comp Xtreme Energy 276, I believe. I know its somewhere in the 70s on the grind. The exhaust consist of long tube headers, 2.5" pipes and dynomax mufflers. Couldn't tell you the series. Looks almost like a 40 series Flowmaster. It was just a pair of mufflers the exhaust shop had on hand.

@@camaroboy1968ss thank you

Muncie M21 out of a Chevelle

Yes, the biggest thing that was different between them was the Z/28 had the 302ci small block V8. That motor was only available with the Z/28 option. All Z/28's in 1968 are 4 speed cars, if you wanted an auto you could not get a Z/28 from the dealer. Also all Z/28's were coupes for actual production (1 prototype convertible was made). Other differences were various suspension components. The Z/28 had different leaf and coil springs that were set at a different spring rate. Also Z/28's originally were the only Camaro offered in 1968 with 15 inch diameter wheels. All other Camaros (including super sports) had 14 inch. The wheels on my 68 are off a 69 Z/28 Camaro as they are 15x7. 68 Z/28 wheels would have been 15x6.
