Love the project, I knew you were in BC before looking at your location. Your house/property layout is what I wish Alberta had.

I put this on the EFI and super charger section but thought I would try here also. I am trying to build a custom air intake/airfilter but cannot meet the specs that GM lays out for the MAF location. They want straight 4" pipe 6"(min) long with the MAF in the center and 10" away from the throttle body. With my intake the most I could get is 2" before the MAF of straight pipe and 1" after, but packages very nicely. I am pretty close to 10" away from the throttle body. I could just pipe down the front of the engine and exceed their specs but it would not be as cool. How critical is it? Deal breaker?

I love the pickup, your doing a beautiful job on it. I was going to ask if there was anywhere we could check out the Tourliner, I love the COEs. Your a talented guy. Keep us posted.
Here is an article that comes out in March on the Tourliner.

My experience with it is on the LS3 I put in my wifes FJ40. Using a blade type MAF, I was trying to take advantage of an open area to locate it in but got too close to the elbow (about 4"...). It would start fine but not idle...unless you unplugged the MAF.
It definitely needs at least the 6" of straight air BEFORE the MAF...not sure how critical it is after.

This truck is a thing of beauty. I love this model of truck. I had a 62 short bed, big window that I had planned to do. I ended up selling it and wish I hadn’t. Probably sold it because I actually prefer a 65-66 due to the a-pillar instead of the knee-knocker. LOL!!

That red truck looks like it would have been a good start. I think all of the 60-66's have their own charm.

It was a very solid truck. The bed sides were perfect. The top rails of them weren't beat up or anything. I have 68 C10 short bed big window and decided to keep it between the two.

Should have kept it. I have a '64, '67/8, Squarebody dually, & a CC OBS '99. Having 4 consecutive generations of Chevy trucks is not a bad thing (other than finding room to keep them)....
