Longest project in history, but almost done. Need to order all my Liska stuff and the rest is some wiring and powdercoating. I also need a chain....

It doesn't help that I bought an old truck last Sept that is taking time and money from the bike either....

Cory

if you have access to a lathe you can rebuild your old camchain sprockets.
i know what you mean about old trucks suckin your cash up .
this one has been hundred dollaring me to death ☠

and it still want's a new windshield,gasket,nice set of dual exhaust,airbags ...

Hard to tell, is that a 67 or a 68+? That is a beauty. Mine is newer (1995 F350, crew cab, Dually, diesel 5 spd manual) but I am restoring it as I love this body style.

Edit: it looks like a 67....

Funny I forget that on the C10/20/30 that they like Cameros of the same vintage did not have side markers in 67. I always check the hood leading surface to see if it is the lower, more slopes profile of the 67 vs the 68 and later. Definitely the 67 is the better looking of the 67-72.

So time to start making progress and clean the table off. Count down to engine build and install as a critical box showed up today.... $600 should be more impressive! :doh

Still awaiting on cam bearings from the UK and billet cam plugs for the VC. I expect to start the engine build, then installing the engine. Wiring to follow after. Memorial Day weekend will be key 4 days due to my wife being gone....

So I got a decent clear powdercoat on my turned parts. Not as good as I would have liked, but it'll do. Time to move onto the engine.....

Cory

I know the feeling on the parts. Lol

Looking good, Cory. Yea, those cam chain parts are as precious as gold

Actually, the hardest to swallow so far is the cam bearings! They are on their way from the U.K. Ridiculous what they get for a simple bearing shell! Anyway, engine going in soon. I pulled the exhaust studs, as I have been told the whole engine should be able to slide into place with the studs pulled.

Cory

I had the exact same parts arriving this week from Z1
Looking great as always and can't wait to see the end result.

Eric

Hey Cory, looking great so far. A little heads up on the Motogadget M-Unit, it's awesome but .....your going to want to figure out an axillary power block. Power to ignition system, speedo etcetera will need an AUXILIARY power supply and you can barely fit 2 wires in the port on the M-Unit.
