  • My tube chassis, supercharged LT4-powered, six-speed gearbox-equipped 1967 Chevrolet C10 has officially hit the streets! After a decade of hibernation, the custom independent suspension, 20-inch Forgeline wheels and Mittler Bros Hydroshox are fully functional and I'm happy to report that I've rowed all six gears of the RTS/6XDgearbox.com billet sequential transmission. The Holley Terminator X Max efi system is far from properly tuned but after a few hiccups during the last day of the build, my friends and I were able to get a taste of the potential of this street truck. Now all we gotta do is drive the thing 300 miles back home to Georgia!
    Want to see more? check out the other videos we filled during the "1-week Chevy C10 build" series on this channel and visit Wirecare.com for all the supplies I use to wire this incredible truck. www.wirecare.com/

      The show shouldve been called Finnigan's Shenanigans
