Re: Grizz's Redneck Express 1966 Chevy Short Fleetside RESTO-GO!
I kinda like the new nuts n studs idea too .
I was thinking if you drill the wheels what if the socket and lugs are to fat to fit in the hole in the wheel . I buy some cool bullet lug nuts on ebay for some of my cool projects. |

Re: Grizz's Redneck Express 1966 Chevy Short Fleetside RESTO-GO!
Interesting day.
Went to Sally’s uncle Bobs yard to get some pics of the Bedford TK cab for an interested guy. https://i294.photobucket.com/albums/...psb9ncngpr.jpg Then headed home to move a load of firewood from behind the garage to fill a wood shed, another firewood box at the back door, and also the pile of firewood and kindling piles inside the house, Sally doing most of the hauling. I Dennis has been working hard at getting his NASCAR chassis sorted, welded and trimmed for the 66 C10 truck he is building. Engine mounts and various other attachments now sorted. So the chassis was rolled outside to await a pickup to go for sandblasting and powder coating. https://i294.photobucket.com/albums/...pssi2vdbfu.jpg This things is goi go to rock for sure. So after the firewood session, I went to fetch the jack, impact gun and an extension cord from the garage and brought them up to the house. Removing the fist Galaxy wheel bolt........... Surprise !!!!!!!! Domed and loose face, I was expecting a 60’ degree taper. https://i294.photobucket.com/albums/...psp3hw0wzp.jpg 13mm shaft. https://i294.photobucket.com/albums/...psxdlr08h0.jpg Threaded shaft - 38mm https://i294.photobucket.com/albums/...psvm4aiz7o.jpg Total length..... 62mm https://i294.photobucket.com/albums/...pso6aeh4sw.jpg Alloy wheel bolt hole base..... concave. https://i294.photobucket.com/albums/...psfoxjs7vt.jpg Thickness of Ford mounting surface 11mm versus Mercedes Benz at 25mm https://i294.photobucket.com/albums/...psns9xdoei.jpg And then lastly, depth of threaded Ford front hub 27mm https://i294.photobucket.com/albums/...pssyjtoj2g.jpg Lastly, mocked up, just put in place after checking. Mercedes Benz front wheel fits comfortably without fouling up anywhere. I had not lowered the car to get the body and wheel arch closer to the ground. https://i294.photobucket.com/albums/...ps7jvqxy8g.jpg But it looks OK to me. |

Re: Grizz's Redneck Express 1966 Chevy Short Fleetside RESTO-GO!
Spigot rings to reduce 66.6 to 57.1 arrived in the mail yesterday.
Good look and feel. https://i294.photobucket.com/albums/...psnwyyebnn.jpg And offered up, not yet installed as I want to flat back the inside of the faces. https://i294.photobucket.com/albums/...psrlgwqbmy.jpg So one problem solved.

I have used them on a gear shift handle to put on a custom knob, but nothing so torque dependent as a wheel stud

Re: Grizz's Redneck Express 1966 Chevy Short Fleetside RESTO-GO!
does the socket for the original lugs fit inside the lug hole on the new wheel ?
if you were to drill the wheel for the fatter bolt. what happened about the adaptor studs you put a picture of ? |

Re: Grizz's Redneck Express 1966 Chevy Short Fleetside RESTO-GO!
Had @PaulY over here by 09.15 today.
He needed to go look at a Mini Cooper S for his son about 25 miles from my place, and 80 miles from his home. If he bought it, the car would need top come back to my place to wait for recovery to his place in Essex. So we headed out to go look, Paul with a torch, thick insulated mat and a wad of cash. Short story, the seller was not 100% truthful, and Paul walked away. He did also bring along an almost new hardly used double DIN radio to sell to me for the Galaxy Ultimately I did not pay for it, Paul left it here with the understanding that he would find something to trade for some time in the future. Needs a plug, and telephone microphone, and to be fitted. Pretty chuffed yes. https://i294.photobucket.com/albums/...ps37xqxysq.jpg https://i294.photobucket.com/albums/...pswpgmesxk.jpg Lastly........ We all have seen this in real life, I suspect. https://i294.photobucket.com/albums/...psfqkltsol.jpg Back in a bit. |
Re: Grizz's Redneck Express 1966 Chevy Short Fleetside RESTO-GO!
After a couple of weeks of researching and trying to get some answers as to how I was going to get the Mercedes Benz wheels onto the Galaxy, I happened on a guy who specialises in Alloy wheels, attachments, and adaptors.
I was really keen on the stud insertion idea as it’s done a lot for racing applications which surely tests stuff more than a school run. Anyway, after about 10 exchanges, he suggested I machine the M12 bolt holes to accept M14 wheel bolts With vernier in hand I had established that the existing holes were 13mm anyway. Having ally spigot rings fitted to keep the wheels in place, the lug bolts only exert energy to keep the energy centralised. I liked this diagram, helps me understand what the parts are about. https://i294.photobucket.com/albums/...psow0n9nba.jpg So...... Action. Cheap enough drill bits to fit into a 13mm Chuck, Tool,Station only 5 miles away..... https://i294.photobucket.com/albums/...psfa6lql4i.jpg Two bought, just in case. https://i294.photobucket.com/albums/...pspa6eghcj.jpg Indoors workshop.... Yes, I do pay the mortgage. Wheels ready to be worked with trepidation https://i294.photobucket.com/albums/...psn018u9lm.jpg Sally on standby, camera and her critical eye on my trueness of attack. https://i294.photobucket.com/albums/...psp4rziwb2.jpg I was amazed at how little material came out of the 20 holes in the end. https://i294.photobucket.com/albums/...pskaeofa8h.jpg Result. Spigot rings also seated with help of a wooden block and mallet. https://i294.photobucket.com/albums/...psx7pikkr3.jpg I did remove the front wheel after lifting the Galaxy up to trial fit one of the wheels. However, it became apparent that the Ford wheel bolts are too short to safely get purchase in the hubs. So I went back to my searches and bought a set of: 20 X M14 X 1.5 50MM LONG RADIUS ALLOY WHEEL BOLTS FIT MERCEDES VIANO VITO THREAD = M14X1.5 HEAD SIZE = 17MM COLLAR = RADIUS THREAD / SHANK LENGTH = 50MM All of our products are of a high quality, We do not sell any cheap inferior products. Made in Italy, Fully TUV approved with Bimmec packaging where applicable. https://i294.photobucket.com/albums/...pskra19439.jpg Lastly........ A bit of fun. This car will never be Prozac with a full NASCAR livery, but maybe a wink every now and then. Ordered replacement centre caps to replace the Benz items. A nod toward Harley my loyal helper. https://i294.photobucket.com/albums/...psbjxsg7sl.jpg So now we wait. |
Re: Grizz's Redneck Express 1966 Chevy Short Fleetside RESTO-GO!
Glad you got the wheel thing worked out. Like the Optimus Prime center caps.

Re: Grizz's Redneck Express 1966 Chevy Short Fleetside RESTO-GO!
Did about 60 miles today.....
Went to fetch some free furniture for Sally’s spare room which she is getting ready for a lodger too. On the way back, I came Up to a roundabout on a left hand curve where I needed to scrub off speed a bit. Suddenly I felt some vibration on the left front wheel. Pulled over, inspected and drove off carefully to pull over in a nursery car park to check the wheel nuts, all good. Full lock, nothing hanging off the suspension or front end Then drove the remaining 25 miles cautiously with the brakes juddering and clearly not capable of handling an emergency Why??? I hear you ask ..... Coz I chose not to take recovery service on this car. This means I will be getting it serviced and stuck on a machine this week as it’s been shouting for a service since I bought it. Getting the brakes seen to will be part of the job. So....... Leaving, empty. https://i294.photobucket.com/albums/...ps1uxd8ixi.jpg Headed back, before the brakes threw a wobbly, the guy gave me a set or genuine Seat Alhambra roof racks too for the Galaxy too. https://i294.photobucket.com/albums/...psa8qwkoqy.jpg More the sort of look expected from Prozac..... Loaded. https://i294.photobucket.com/albums/...psuiqlosdv.jpg And of course carried upstairs and set out. https://i294.photobucket.com/albums/...psg5qvmxcc.jpg Remember the state of my wing mirrors?? Been looking for a set, but not prepared to pay the prices charged online. Then tonight a surprise call from MercDan to say he had possibly found me a pair of working mirrors from a Galaxy that was being stripped and broken up. Still to be collected and then brought over to my place. https://i294.photobucket.com/albums/...ps4wqywqfb.jpg Amazed that the weekend is pretty much over again. Thanks for checking in. |
Re: Grizz's Redneck Express 1966 Chevy Short Fleetside RESTO-GO!
Did I mention that Christmas does not do it for me, due to its commercial nature and the absolute gluttony associated with it.
Tonight Sally brought me a shy gift. A Christmas tree. http://i294.photobucket.com/albums/m...pss5ebjfkt.jpg So to celebrate the tree, I bought the Galaxy a microphone for the @PaulY radio that’s waiting to be fitted. http://i294.photobucket.com/albums/m...pseqvmbjzt.jpg And on the way to work this morning I booked the Galaxy in for a service that will include new discs, pads, filters and lubricants. That’s booked for the 16th. Now my head is wondering if a reprogramming or chipping for this motor is doable, and worth doing. |
Re: Grizz's Redneck Express 1966 Chevy Short Fleetside RESTO-GO!
Measure Twice
Cut Once. Remember that bit of advice? I did not. Also thought I had ordered Optimus Prime centre caps for the wheels. But it seems on delivery that I did not order them. https://i294.photobucket.com/albums/...psbymviexv.jpg I did not even get out of my work suit, straight away popped the Benz cap out and tried the new spider one on. Poop. https://i294.photobucket.com/albums/...pshopkps6j.jpg Compared to the Benz item, which is 70mm this 57 mm spider ended up too small. I think I measured the spigot ring reducer, which is 57.1 and seeing the cap advertised, just hit the buy it now. Now to see if I can order some 70mm caps. https://i294.photobucket.com/albums/...psblv1hxqh.jpg In other news. Harley, my buddy, my cat, my therapist has been a bit off colour a few days. Eating changed, and also drinking a lot, including from the toilet and kitchen sink, both never done before. This morning she was shouting from 05.00 till after 08.00, so I booked her in at the vets for 6.45 tonight. Thorough inspection and it seems she has a massive mass inside her mouth, under her tongue. Either an abscess from a fight (she does not fight) or a cancerous growth. If it is the latter, it’s bad news. Antibiotics and steroid injections and booked in for a week from now. Let’s hope it is an abscess. |

Re: Grizz's Redneck Express 1966 Chevy Short Fleetside RESTO-GO!

My Hermes delivered the new Mercedes Benz Vito wheel bolts today.

Rian, sorry to hear about Harley. I just had to say goodbye to one of mine for the same thing. Had a growth in his mouth that popped up over night.

Vacation today.
Lazy start. Cat https://i294.photobucket.com/albums/...pswdku48fh.jpg Did some online training modules before we left. Then headed down to New Romney in the Galaxy after getting a call from We Weld Engineering yesterday to collect the Chevy C10 parts that I dropped off on 4 November for blasting and priming. When we got there, I loaded the parts. Much more space than in Prozac of course. https://i294.photobucket.com/albums/...psvjbmc0cz.jpg https://i294.photobucket.com/albums/...pst7shu0am.jpg Once all loaded, I paid for the work that had been done. I was quoted at £30.00 per piece. The job seems to have been done with a gentle, sensitive hand. https://i294.photobucket.com/albums/...psqfimzuc6.jpg Once the job was paid for, Sally and I headed homeward via McDonalds, and I got us each a kids meal and coffee. https://i294.photobucket.com/albums/...psrq6rrpck.jpg Check out the street name for heading home. https://i294.photobucket.com/albums/...psdiivb7xn.jpg So then headed homeward via Morrison’s to get some food.

SURPRISE !!! . . SOOOOOOOOOO..........?. The question remains..... What remained of the 53 year old “ex-CALIFORNIA TRUCK” ? Answer: “A Lot Less than Expected” My expectation was carnage, for it to be really bad after the sand blasting and primer, to prepare the parts for me to start cutting, welding, repairing and preparing it all for filler and paint ultimately. But my expectations were EXCEEDED BY A MILE. I will just post up a load of photos here of most of the damage and rust that needs to be sorted. Unfortunately, the primer and late afternoon winter light, does not show the full extent of the damage. NEW TO ME, INNER FENDERS. https://i294.photobucket.com/albums/...psnvcbbbwb.jpg One buckled, at least they have no rust, so hopefully hammer, dolly, heat will improve the look. https://i294.photobucket.com/albums/...pskrlrjeak.jpg Drivers side fender. Patch panels may not be big enough. https://i294.photobucket.com/albums/...psu6x6jkwq.jpg https://i294.photobucket.com/albums/...psghlnimvu.jpg Passenger side. Some small dents up front to address..... https://i294.photobucket.com/albums/...psqiw1xoek.jpg https://i294.photobucket.com/albums/...psixwqauyj.jpg The rest of it though....... I think I may be needing either a replacement used fender, or a half a used fender, or a pattern part, complete fender. This will be interesting. https://i294.photobucket.com/albums/...psrw8nbg04.jpg Very interesting https://i294.photobucket.com/albums/...pscib1ja7h.jpg https://i294.photobucket.com/albums/...psfiblhfam.jpg Sally seen here just finishing off saying a sentence starting with “Take your camera” and ending in “....gger off” Hates photos. But worth mentioning that she carried every part from the Galaxy down to the garage for me and stacked them like a man would, sensibly. Front radiator support panel. Spotless, not a speck of rust on it. It makes sense, if the truck had some front end damage before being exported in 2004 from California, after a colour change, motor and trans change, that it may have received a new front panel. https://i294.photobucket.com/albums/...psh6rofrru.jpg Carrying on with the unloading and cataloging of the chaos. Front panel damage, only this bit, needs a small panel made up and welded in, unless I found a piece off one. https://i294.photobucket.com/albums/...pstgwmfmbv.jpg Good overall, no further damage. https://i294.photobucket.com/albums/...psukevlhp7.jpg Doors, passenger side, replacement California door, bought a few years ago. https://i294.photobucket.com/albums/...pssejzski5.jpg Drivers door upper damage where convoy mirrors must have been fitted before. https://i294.photobucket.com/albums/...psh5ot3nmp.jpg Drivers side lower leading corner. Needs extensive metalwork. Including filling the hole where the speaker hole was cut in before. https://i294.photobucket.com/albums/...psm0suuqmk.jpg Mirror mount, needs much welding, Rivnuts, and dent repairs. https://i294.photobucket.com/albums/...ps0qzod3oi.jpg https://i294.photobucket.com/albums/...ps5ytvt7h4.jpg Lower drivers side rust. https://i294.photobucket.com/albums/...psk31ltgyx.jpg https://i294.photobucket.com/albums/...psvsghaayv.jpg https://i294.photobucket.com/albums/...ps4oxwtt4y.jpg https://i294.photobucket.com/albums/...pszwyortel.jpg So all unloaded and stashed in the garage.

Re: Grizz's Redneck Express 1966 Chevy Short Fleetside RESTO-GO!

Re: Grizz's Redneck Express 1966 Chevy Short Fleetside RESTO-GO!

Y to bring in a wing or other bits, I certainly would look for new pattern or replacement parts, but add in all the costs and it becomes a bit costly. So repair is the way. Quote:
No way would I even attempt to reassemble a rotten truck now. Only way is forward. Bit of history here...... Been asked by a few people why I started the resto on the truck when it looked so shiny before. Of course the results of the Blasting and etch priming kinda answers it. It was in much worse condition than the photos implied. https://i294.photobucket.com/albums/...psb16w7j4u.jpg Harley in June 2013 when the Chevy landed, as always inspecting and ensuring my safety. With restarting the truck resto now, I will miss her if she ends up not making it after Tuesday. https://i294.photobucket.com/albums/...psnxscdzi5.jpg Currently I am feeding her 1/2 a chopped chicken breast twice a day which she is managing easier than the dry food or even her favourite Dreamies This behaviour is also completely alien to her, only the last 10 days or so has she jumped onto kitchen units and been trying to drink from any cups in the sink, I now leave a cup of water for her..... she never used to do it, so another sign that all is not right. https://i294.photobucket.com/albums/...psymxs06af.jpg So truck as it stands now. https://i294.photobucket.com/albums/...psa4nuqfs4.jpg Was chatting to my cousin in Cape Town yesterday about the cost of the blasting, at £240.00 for 8 pieces. He felt it was a bargain, compared to the cost of my time and materials, as did I. If you look at the other sides of panels and the Complexity of cleaning them up for repairs and paint, it would have taken a lot longer than 3 hrs per panel to clean and prime at £10.00 per hour. Sally and I went down to the garage to grab some more detail pics yesterday. https://i294.photobucket.com/albums/...psu92eatpz.jpg Speaker hole needs to be closed up too as part of the repair work. https://i294.photobucket.com/albums/...psbibfynzv.jpg I think this will be interesting.... Yup, scares me. https://i294.photobucket.com/albums/...ps2pflbj7u.jpg https://i294.photobucket.com/albums/...pslj1lxoaw.jpg Garage temperature this time of year stays between 0’C and 6’C if it warms up. Yesterday was 3’C which obviously interferes a bit with working in there. Hence the small caravan on the drive that can be heated really fast and is insulated to stay warm enough for welding and also for priming panels once welded and finished up. https://i294.photobucket.com/albums/...psjnxl2t3w.jpg Should be gooderer.... 😉 https://i294.photobucket.com/albums/...pstaxmxxm3.jpg |
