There is an aurora around that barn, my Grandma had a sign hanging in her kitchen that said a big barn and a big women never hurt any man. I always laugh at that when I remember it..Vernski:lol:

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
 

That's a good one.

I've got it on the lift doing a nut and bolt check. It has developed a thunking noise when turning while parking. Something feels like it is shifting.

Not only do I want your truck but I want that lift now too. dang it!

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
 

Heck everything has a price. You can buy truck, lift and house. ;)

So far the only things that were a tad loose was the trans mount bolts. I got about 1/2 a round on them. The other thing was the left upper A arm rear stud that holds the shims was 1/2-1 round loose. The only shim I had in there is still there. That might be what I was feeling. Since its up in the air why not wipe the frame down.

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
 

I have a question about the sealing of the manifold to the back of the ac compressor. It's a 89 S10 comp it came with thick seals. The after market manifold came with thin gaskets. The inside nipple of the manifold is too short to use the thick gaskets. I tried charging the ac and have a bad leak in this area. I tried soapy water and couldn't locate it. I'm inspecting things to make sure things are right. I have a feeling it's coming from the fittings where they screw onto the manifold. I've tried new o rings with no change.

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
 

I think the manifold is hitting the comp before the seals seal.

Now do I try to use the thick seals and see if it works.....why not.

You got me. You tried everything I was thinking of. :uhmk: But Dude you need a manicure.. :haha::haha::haha:

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
 

I shaved the raised area on the compressor that was hitting the fitting. If this doesn't work I have no idea.

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
 

That is so weird. Did it ever hold pressure or just when you first charged it?:uhmk:

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
 

It never held a vacuum. I plan on driving it to work tomorrow and see if work.

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
 

Long story short is I have a bad compressor. The case is leaking.

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
 

your truck has always been one of my favs. the photography is top notch too.

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
 

Alan, I spent the last several weeks reading your build (from page one). It was an awesome read. I love what you did with the truck. That dash rocks!

Thanks for sharing your life and your build with us.

One question, will you paint the steering wheel or will it stay black?

Thanks a bunch. I appreciate it.

Richard, thanks for taking the time to read my build. It has been a long journey. I do plan on painting the steering wheel a combination of orange and silver.

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
 

My first attempt at a sign board for car shows. It's nothing fancy. I did it in Word and saved to PDF for the printer to print on a big board. It's not what I had in mind but close.

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
 

Good job Alan. :metal:

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
 

Looks pretty good to me! Lord knows you'd need to circle the whole truck with them if you wanted to include ALL the details. :lol:

Did everything look okay after the Friday cruise-in?

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
 

Great Idea, glad you mentioned the AC:haha::haha:

Thanks guys. They have these boards on eBay for $189 plus $24 shipping. I got a price from office max today for $51. At least that was the estimate.

Phillip, I haven't even looked at the truck since I parked it.

If that relates back to Facebook, I think I know what he's referring to!

Alan, if you don't know about it, check [url]retailmenot.com] for coupon codes you can apply online or in-store. Might be able to save even more on those boards. Lots of retailers on there to search through!

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
 

Thank you for the link. I'm sure will come in handy.

You are correct is was related to my FB comment.

Here is the FB comment I posted.

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
 

Seems like allot people are just clueless even if your standing there with a bottle of detailer spray and a micro cloth wiping up after them. I put some polished stainless steel rail caps on my box, and if you touch them it leaves oily finger prints all over them. It's the first thing they want to touch and I can sure understand your disdain over people being slobs about it. I laughed about the armpit juice comment but seriously don't people get it?..Vernski:lol:

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
 

It's in their raising. If there not tought then most don't know. Some with some sense realize it without being tought. I guess I just need to not let it bother me so much and correct the gross negligence.

My wife picked up the sign board today. It turned out pretty good. If your wondering my hood isn't shut. I disconnect the battery when it sets.

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
 

Alan, its been quite awhile since I thought about your truck couple years since my last last post.... Guy has a 65 in my friends body shop and its orange as well. And I was bragging like crazy about your truck to him, thus leading me to look up your thread.....

Amazing Sir!!! Looks awesome and congrats.

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
 

Thank y'all for the great comments.

Thank you for remembering and coming back to check out the progress. The original plan is slowly reaching completion. BTW thanks for bragging on it for me. ;)
