Re: Grizz's Redneck Express 1966 Chevy Short Fleetside RESTO-GO!
Rain seems to have dried up overnight, with much more predicted along with possibly some snow and cold for the weekend.
So this morning it was dry and not too cold, so by 07.30 I was outside to grab the opportunity to refit the air filter and check a few more bits out. I was also chatting with Dennis in Missouri as he could not sleep, getting tips on the things to look out for and little things to touch on while getting this truck to an even better place than it already is. Big old hole where the filter and ducting goes, it is also isolated to keep the truck getting cold air, rather than warm air from the engines heat. https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag.../001(299).HEIC Refitted and mounted in a way that has it hanging loose, rather than chafing against any of the body or engine parts. Looks better, hopefully the clean will benefit the engine. https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag.../001(301).HEIC While I was there, I thought getting a record of these stickers that do not come off, would be sensible, as I will be fitting a replacement radiator cowl. https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...ix/001(66).jpg https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...ix/001(65).jpg And identified another weekend job........ Can you guess. https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag.../001(300).HEIC https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag.../001(302).HEIC Yup, drain the radiator, flush it well, and refill with fresh green stuff. Along with the other jobs lined up for it, as long as I get some gaps in the weather. PS. It is Friday after all. |
Re: Grizz's Redneck Express 1966 Chevy Short Fleetside RESTO-GO!
So the rain has set in for the weekend it seems.
I had hoped to get some jobs done today and tomorrow, but that’s not happening. So I reassembled the drivers indicator lense using this claimed to be special, adhesive. https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag.../001(303).HEIC Assembled, cleaned and put aside to dry. https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag.../001(304).HEIC Then went out to try get the side repeaters fitted..... Very different, went to motor factors, no luck in finding amber bayonet fitting type bulbs as the fittings are not pinch type. Also the actual stalk fitting on the new oval ones are thicker, and on receiving them I realised I don’t really like them, neither size nor design. So ordered a new set of fittings for pinch type bulbs to be soldered in place next week........ https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag.../001(306).HEIC And once I got home, sitting chatting with @craigrk decided to get a different set of lenses as I preferred these much more, they also suit the crystal style of the front end more. https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...ix/001(67).jpg While in the parts store, also bought 5 liters of concentrated antifreeze, as I am going to drain the cooling system and the heater channels and refresh all of the fluids. Did I mention the truck was a keeper? Bought the long life stuff. https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag.../001(305).HEIC Waiting for the weather to change. Lastly.......... Question time: 16” wheels fitted with 195/55 tyres. Any ideas as to what they are etc. Terrible advertising on FB marketplace gives no more information. Not on this BMW wheels site afaik http://www.bmwstylewheels.com/ https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...ix/001(31).PNG Thanks. |

Re: Grizz's Redneck Express 1966 Chevy Short Fleetside RESTO-GO!
So today was my birthday
Yesterday was Sally’s and my 100 weeks anniversary How this girl has not killed me, nobody knows She had to work from 07.00 which meant being up by 05.00 It may not be apparent, but we do live separately in different homes. What this meant though, was that I got to spend my day in a way that I really love to spend special days....... Alone, at home, and working on something I either want to or love to work on. Sally came around after work at about 5.00pm so I cooked us a quick butter chicken curry on 2 minute rice. Desert was a 1/4 of a magnificent Maltese’s chocolate cake, and a nice cuppa coffee. A good day indeed. |
Re: Grizz's Redneck Express 1966 Chevy Short Fleetside RESTO-GO!
So doing stuff on your birthday that makes you happy?
In my case, today was started off with a quick 6.45 minute School of YouTube lesson on how to remove the headlights, indicators and grille on an S10 Truck in 4’C or 40’F temperature without breaking anything, especially mounting tabs. Reflection on the iPad screen is the very rough, English style Pebble Dash plaster on my 1921 built home. https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag.../001(331).HEIC Thought I would start with the passenger headlight as its fastening tabs are stuck between the battery and radiator core support and kinda tight for my large hands. https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag.../001(329).HEIC Good start...... bodgeworks always a good place to start. The indicators, position lights etc may have been changed when the truck had its first UK MOT road test in 2006 where I know it failed due to the lack of side repeater lamps amongst other things. I will fix these things as I discover them. https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag.../001(328).HEIC Lights out.... Followed by indicators. https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag.../001(330).HEIC https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag.../001(327).HEIC Old and new indicator lenses. https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag.../001(323).HEIC And then BURGER !!!! Indicator bulbs are “pinch pull” or whatever they are called, so the chrome bayonet items @rich had sent were not going to get used here. Need to get some from the local motor factors. https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag.../001(322).HEIC Grille off and headed for the garage to take apart https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag.../001(334).HEIC So with the grille removed, the next job was to disassemble it it to its final component form for cleaning and processing. https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag.../001(324).HEIC 20 years of life as we know it, on the grille that was apparently originally painted body colour in a matte finish has left it looking pretty sorry for itself. Closer up. https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag.../001(321).HEIC As I kept disassembling, I found more and more bits I did not like. To that needed bits of attention to get to a look I preferred. More in a bit. |
Re: Grizz's Redneck Express 1966 Chevy Short Fleetside RESTO-GO!
After removing the grille, I noticed just how grubby and greasy the centre support was.
https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag.../001(326).HEIC The bonnet/hood release cable looked like a challenge for about 15 seconds. https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...ix/001(70).jpg A 13mm socket and 3 bolts later...... https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...ix/001(69).jpg Wire brush, white spirit wipe down, two coats of black primer, two coats of Stealth Black Wheel paint, JOB DONE. https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag.../001(325).HEIC Once the paint had dried, I generously applied some spray on White Lithium grease, which once reassembled clearly made the hood release work much more smoothly. I also put some on the threads of the bolts before returning them to where they came from. https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag.../001(318).HEIC Refitted, release cable reconnected, looked loads better. You will also notice just how clean the front slam panel actually is, almost no rust, just a bit of staining which could be polished away. https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag.../001(317).HEIC Interesting way the light and house shadow fell at the drivers door. Making the rear look distinctly grey and insipid https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag.../001(311).HEIC Another job that I decided to do today was to “FIX” the front grille badge, at least until I get around to ordering one from the USA or if I can get @craigrk to do a clever 3D print for me. It had delamination of the gold leaf in the badge, as well as a crack. Any fix would be an improvement imho. https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag.../001(320).HEIC https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag.../001(316).HEIC Final result after about 5 coats. https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag.../001(307).HEIC Happy so far. It is way past my bedtime. A few more bits tomorrow for those following closely. Weekend over too, thanks for checking in. Later. |
Re: Grizz's Redneck Express 1966 Chevy Short Fleetside RESTO-GO!
Final post for yesterdays work done.
When I bought the truck, the bonnet/hood was standing proud on the passenger side by about 8-10mm The previous owner had told me he had repainted the drivers fender and hood, due to some paint damage and lacquer peeling. This was not a problem for me, at 20 years old, the truck still looks better than may 3 year olds. Dennis who has his body shop in St Louis, Missouri has worked on many of these S10 trucks back in the day, had told me these trucks had very little room for adjustment of panel gaps if disassembled or found not to be aligned. So it was with trepidation I decided to give it a go, to see if I could improve the alignment. Started with this. https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag.../001(333).HEIC Played with these. https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag.../001(314).HEIC You can see this side fender has been loosened and refitted. https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag.../001(313).HEIC This side got to go down a bit. https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag.../001(310).HEIC And this side keeps me happy for now...... https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag.../001(308).HEIC Result. https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag.../001(311).HEIC Happy with that for now. While cleaning up the stainless steel front grille embellishers I saw these markings on the rear. The other one showed “top” to define which one fits where. I am guessing an enthusiast at some point made these up for the truck. They came up lovely with steel polish as well. https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag.../001(319).HEIC And finally, I had a few challenges from various people about the position of the K&N filter, with people freaking out that it was going to suck up tons of surface water. So overdrawn on the pic, is where the filter actually sits inside the engine bay. https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...ix/001(68).jpg Not sure if I mentioned, the grille was delivered in a carpark last night, socially distanced and all that. More as it happens. |
Re: Grizz's Redneck Express 1966 Chevy Short Fleetside RESTO-GO!
Right UK based American car/truck owners etc.
Switching to clear lenses on the S10 poses this problem. I need some AMBER, Push fit, dual filament bulbs. My truck runs its clearance and indicator in the same space so needs dual filaments. Advice and pointers if you know where I can order, buy, find some please. Plan B would be to get some amber glass paint. Ideal would be chrome finish amber bulbs. Thanks. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/313299916081 This is what I have fitted at the moment. https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag.../001(337).HEIC Any pointers appreciated. |
Re: Grizz's Redneck Express 1966 Chevy Short Fleetside RESTO-GO!
Thank you @PhilA for grabbing these Chrome Amber bulbs in Louisiana, USA.
Looking forward to getting them into the truck too. https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...ix/001(82).JPG Was in the garage today because I needed a bit of time after they announced redundancies to be effective mid February, and get is a waste of energy, so I went to remove some lights from the wall that will go into the carport until I get the planned LED units up. Found this claxon style hooter in one of the C10 parts boxes. It may be fun in the S10 https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag.../001(340).HEIC I also reassembled the front grille badge. Looks OK like this. https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag.../001(336).HEIC Closer up. https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag.../001(335).HEIC Absolutely pleased with the outcome so far. |
Re: Grizz's Redneck Express 1966 Chevy Short Fleetside RESTO-GO!
Grille looks great as per usual for the work from your shed.

Love the little parcels.
New side repeater lenses landed. Too big again, do I drill the holes bigger or modify the lenses...... https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag.../001(344).HEIC Indicator light bulbs landed too. These amber units were ordered before @phila got me the chrome ones for the truck.

These will possibly split opinion. 50 years ago guys made these in shop, they were everywhere. I always loved them, and to me this one, custom cast by my good friend Andy Martin in Terlton near Tulsa Oklahoma is even more valued as it reminds me of my road trips, friends here in theUK and also in America.

Re: Grizz's Redneck Express 1966 Chevy Short Fleetside RESTO-GO!
[quote author="@mk3rob" source="/post/2650641/thread" timestamp="1609660940"]Definitely get some rust protection on the underside. You can pretty much watch S10s rust!
Mine had 2 rear seats and I have to say you can ride with 3 people in proper comfort! I rode in the rear seat a couple of times after concerts etc when our lass drove and it was really comfy! The ZQ8 stuff is really sought after and at times not so easy to get hold of so hold onto that! [/quote] This is the trucks “build sheet” showing its whole DNA. What was put together to create it. It seems to be pretty special, and I am both pleased and thankful to have been able to tick a box on my lust list. https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...akpix/001.heic Read and interpreted by some clever people out there G80 and ZQ8 are posi track rear and sport suspension G80 is the LSD, nice. ZQ8 is a code and a trim package, so your truck is a ‘ZQ8’ They had a factory lowering kit, around 2in or so, springs and leafs. A tighter steering box and some other nice things. The Xtremes got the same setup but got a body kit and some badges. This is kind of an aside since you're curious about rpo codes, but the guys who have the super sport S10’s look for the B4U code. SS trucks were the first to receive the ZQ8 suspension in 96 until they stopped the SS in 98. The ZQ8 then became its own trim package so to speak That is the rear end. I think the codes that start with G are the gears for the rear. Not 100% but I think that's what it means. And G80 is a locking or semi locking rear end if I remember right. GU6 = 3.42 gears G80 = POSI limited slip L35 = v6 4.3l vortec M30 = 4spd overdrive transmission ZQ8 = Sports suspension package So living here in England poses it’s own challenges when owning a 20 year old American pickup truck. Parts for one, and even maintenance as you cannot just drop it off at a local dealer to get things serviced or repaired. Part of the pleasure than becomes figuring stuff out, researching, asking questions or guys like @pauly over for a coffee pretending you do not need their technical or physical expertise ( just how hard to hit a control arm, or whatever with a 5 pound hammer in winter) Finding hard to get bits, gets harder when it is a slightly less common model too. So my truck came with a set of Cragar S/S 2 piece, 17” in 8J wheels, including a spare, 255/45 17 Nankang tyres, all with almost full tread etc. Perfect wheels for daily use. But I did not like them, and always coveted the LQ8 5 spoke 16” 8J alloys some trucks came fitted with. Actually do not recall seeing any in the uK on trucks, ever. So I was looking out for alternatives, and had kinda settle and made peace with getting thick adapters and going with a set of Range Rover Mondials in 18” or a full set of 17” 7J BMW steels. I was on an American FB S10 group, asking about tyre choice for the 7J wheels when I got a message from a U.K. based GMC S15 Sonoma owner...... Surprise ! He had owned his for some time, but during the whole 2020 COVID-19 shut down, had stripped it down and was doing a 1939 Willys shark nose truck rebody, he had sold all the body panels except the rear bed and still had a set of 4 LQ8 wheels, with some tyres fitted, tyres could be fried though. Would I be interested in those as an alternative to the Mondials and BMW steels? He had not realised these were my personal Holy Grail of wheels, as I was trying to do the truck justice as it is in such good condition. Adding originality as far as I could, with a few cosmetic tweaks, We have spent about two hours on FB Messenger video (a first for him, he is 67 and not a techie) getting to know each other. And of course agreed to me buying the wheels from him, not cheaply, but certainly a fair price I was prepared to pay. Collection based on current lockdown uncertainty to be in the next three years or more. Stock photos from Google. https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...ix/001(83).JPG And what my truck would look like. I am super pleased, yes there are other options, other lols, and prettier wheels, but it’s what I wanted. https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...ix/001(84).JPG Looking at these in the USA, even the price per one, wheel plus tax, duty, real world shipping etc makes for an expensive transaction. https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...ix/001(37).PNG Even just the centre caps would not be cheap from eBay and once you get stung with tax and import duties on top of shipping, this was not the route I planned on going. Just to give an idea of their cost to me. https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...ix/001(72).jpg And an afterthought, speaking of COVID-19 https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...ix/001(71).jpg Later guys, back to day job stuff, Friday today..... Weekend soon. |

Re: Grizz's Redneck Express 1966 Chevy Short Fleetside RESTO-GO!
Carport news.
This morning after trying unsuccessfully to contact some clients, I put on the kettle for a coffee. Then thought that while that came to the boil, I would take the 6 steering wheels, boss’s and a quick release that I have brought up to the house last night, for the wheels guy to look at, back to where they live, Got there, packed them away, and then looked up...... Still need to gutter the woodwork shed. https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag.../001(348).HEIC Was given a length of rain gutter by the guy I bought the S10 from as he had a pile of offcusts and I needed a bit. So blocked the end with half a margarine tub lid (It is going under cover completely, and also strapped it with Ducktape after glueingit in place. https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag.../001(349).HEIC Then created some pretty horrible, underslung wooden supports to rest it, and my length that I already had, glued the overlapped, down tilted join and tested it. Works a charm. Next job will be to create a 30th offshoot to carry the water back into the garden behind the compressor room. https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag.../001(351).HEIC More dry workspace guaranteed |
Re: Grizz's Redneck Express 1966 Chevy Short Fleetside RESTO-GO!
Anyone remember this....l?
https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...ix/001(80).jpg Got collected in the dark two weeks ago. Ross runs a custom/insurance repair body shop. I had asked him how much and if he would paint the trucks grille to Cody colour for me. When he fetched the little caravan, he said he would paint the grille for me, free of charge. So when I had disassembled the grille, he got it and some paint and said he would get onto it ASAP. Pretty pleased he was doing it, as he has all the kit and materials on site, and could do it on the side. Last night a bunch of pics landed, along with a message. Prepped it. Primer. https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...ix/001(76).jpg https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...ix/001(79).jpg https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...ix/001(78).jpg Then some colour coats. https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...ix/001(73).jpg https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...ix/001(74).jpg https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...ix/001(77).jpg First clear coat went on. https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...ix/001(75).jpg A few more clear coats to go on and some decent drying. Then back to me. Reassembled and Refitted. Looking forward to the front end coming together, cleat lenses and side repeaters included. So what can I do today to keep busy? |
Re: Grizz's Redneck Express 1966 Chevy Short Fleetside RESTO-GO!
Messed around with the truck, and in the garage today
Tried to find the two original hooters so that I could reroute the power to the Klaxon. Failed on that as it seems they are obscured behind the inner arch and wheel arch liner. I could be very wrong. So plan B will be to find a sensible, safe, dry mounting point for the horn and to route the power into the truck. Get a decent push button and add it to this little blanking plate. Also move the toggle switch for the rear fog light from below the dash to this area. https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag.../001(354).HEIC So I want to find another one of these s a spare for the truck in case someone wants to -it it back to standard one day. https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag.../001(353).HEIC Fog light, works but body is rotten. https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag.../001(355).HEIC Something I was not aware of when buying the ZQ8 wheels, was that they come with locking nuts ( I hate them) and the seller wanted to keep them for himself. Not sure Iever worked with nuts like these before. Outside thread locks the centre cap in place. https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...ix/001(82).jpg And then of course, just to make it more interesting, they have covering caps to find too. https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...ix/001(81).jpg I think I have sourced some wheel nuts from the guy selling me the airbag steering wheel. So, bit by bit the truck is coming together. |
Re: Grizz's Redneck Express 1966 Chevy Short Fleetside RESTO-GO!
Chilly day outside today.
View from London this morning, photo credit to Aaron French. https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...ix/001(98).JPG Sally was working all day from 07.00 so it was up to me to entertain myself. Had a long chat with @craigrk about travel, cars and other things including the snow that started falling, quickly adding a lovely blanket on amongst others, Lil his 47 Chevrolet https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...ix/001(83).jpg Once we were done, I showered and headed out to fill the car up and get some food. Then home, watched a bit of recoded telly, got very bored very quickly. Also surfed the web, and dug around on EBay.com to look for wind deflectors for the truck. I have never had them, or wanted them on a car, but these trucks actually seem to suit them. Got to look closely. https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...ix/001(88).JPG Hardly visible on the truck that looks like mine. https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...ix/001(84).JPG Finding some for sale, I realised that I would be doing without them for the foreseeable future, based on the price of shipping. Take a look at the fine print. https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...ix/001(38).PNG So thought what could I do, as it was raining intermittently and playing outside was not ideal. Ahhh yes, we have a Chevy S10 , still waiting for its front grille to be completed and returned. Patience needed there. Truck is on the driveway, so what can be done, that won’t have me wet in a hurry. |
Re: Grizz's Redneck Express 1966 Chevy Short Fleetside RESTO-GO!
Cuppa coffee, cookies.
Out of the house, brrrrr... chilly fresh. So the key to keeping busy. https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag.../001(367).HEIC Every time I look up under the truck, I am amazed at how clean it is. Keyway. https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag.../001(360).HEIC Not too impressive https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag.../001(361).HEIC I had been warned that the underslung spare wheel on these trucks could have a failure of their wind up, hanging mechanism. So I decided that was a dry job I could do today. 20 years under the load bed would make most of us look a bit tired. Wonder where this gravel could be from, Missouri, Norwich...... https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag.../001(369).HEIC https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag.../001(368).HEIC Washed and scrubbed. Amazing, as a 16” wheel, how tall it actually is against the wheelarch. [https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag.../001(359).HEIC Cold and wet, carried down to the garage and used a heat gun to dry it and warm up the steel. Quick bit of a sanding and a wipe down, followed by primer, more drying with the heat gun. https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag.../001(362).HEIC Inside of the rim painted, did not bother with masking this side. https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag.../001(356).HEIC While waiting for the paint to dry naturally, I went up and crawled around again and greased up the cable, spring and mechanism with lithium grease. https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag.../001(366).HEIC After a coffee, I went to check the pressure, certain to be low. Correct. https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag.../001(358).HEIC Pumped up to prescribed pressure. https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag.../001(357).HEIC And back to the truck. Much better. Fitted. https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag.../001(363).HEIC At least this made me feel that my day was not completely wasted. Weekend over, again. |
Re: Grizz's Redneck Express 1966 Chevy Short Fleetside RESTO-GO!
While doing the spare wheel refresh I looked at the rear bumper again.
The truck actually has facility for a specific tow ball mounted on the step. I have no idea on what size it needs to be and what fittings it takes. https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag.../001(196).HEIC https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...ix/001(49).jpg Hard to read but it says “REMOVE FOR TRAILER BALL” So ine removes the whole rubber cover. And I assume you fit the ball through a hole. https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag.../001(364).HEIC And on another of the pads there was this: “350 LBS TONGUE LOAD MAXIMUM” https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag.../001(365).HEIC |
Re: Grizz's Redneck Express 1966 Chevy Short Fleetside RESTO-GO!
Post man dropped by today.
Small parcel. After all the various opinions and input on here and elsewhere, I decided that a white front placement lamp and an amber indicator would satisfy the jobsworth, anal and anyone else whose farts don’t smell. So I ordered a set of “Switchback” lamps on Friday evening. https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag.../001(370).HEIC Tried them out, and impressed no end. https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag.../001(371).HEIC Once the colour matched grille is back, I will reassemble it and the clear lenses. Should look good. In the mean time I have also investigated colours for the ZQ8 wheels, they are often Silver, Anthracite and rarely gold with machined faces. I really like this look. Not sure how it will look on the truck I have. https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...ix/001(99).JPG Think about it. |
Re: Grizz's Redneck Express 1966 Chevy Short Fleetside RESTO-GO!
When I bought the truck, there were a few little things I wanted to change.
Not one of them was necessary, just a personal itch to scratch. Aesthetically I really wanted to get rid of the amber position/indicator lights. https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag.../001(259).HEIC So I mentioned that I was looking for a set of clear indicator lenses to buy, preferably not in the USA Next thing, Simon Mayes from Essex offered the set from his truck as he was going to convert his to smoked lenses. https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...ix/001(72).JPG So these arrived, £25.00 posted. Pleased as punch. https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...ix/001(74).JPG Also on the cards were the amber side repeaters, to be done once the light fittings get delivered. https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag.../001(275).HEIC After much thinking and consideration due to all the various opinions being raised, I bought set no 3 of lamps, LED Switchbacks, clear driving lights most of the time, and amber indicators when needed. https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag.../001(371).HEIC I was getting quite excited at the thought of reassembling the front end. In other news, I need to get a tow ball to fit the rear step. https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...ix/001(86).jpg I may have one in the garage. Photo from 8 years ago when I fitted this one to the C10, which has subsequently removed. https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...ix/001(5).WEBP It may just still be in my garage somewhere to be found, if it fits the hole, we are sorted on this. |
Re: Grizz's Redneck Express 1966 Chevy Short Fleetside RESTO-GO!
So part two of the new smile on the S10’s face reported.
Ross took the grille and the paint that the seller had supplied when I bought it to go paint it to body colour for me. This morning I had to be in a shopping centre, so we met in the carpark and he responsibly handed it to me, before heading to work. https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag.../001(372).HEIC Massive improvement on where we started with the 20 year old grille. https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag.../001(373).HEIC Stainless central bars refitted. https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag.../001(375).HEIC So from this when removed.......... https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag.../001(334).HEIC To this finish today. Centre bar refitted, and looking at it outside, I was again pleased. https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag.../001(374).HEIC Grille refitted. https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag.../001(379).HEIC Clear indicator lenses fitted. https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag.../001(378).HEIC Headlights fitted. BUT.......... Wrongly placed, will need to go redo them tomorrow. Missed a side tab that would seat them fully squarely. https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag.../001(377).HEIC 1/4 front view. https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag.../001(376).HEIC |
Re: Grizz's Redneck Express 1966 Chevy Short Fleetside RESTO-GO!
Sleepless nights.........
Usually work or backache causes it. Not last night. Observation within minutes of posting on an S10 group on FB and showing mate @craigrk summarised below. Had me wonder whether I would get it sorted. https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...ix/001(40).PNG Woke to this.... Photo taken while @pauly and I spoke with him herding his wild bunch over a muddy field https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag.../001(380).HEIC Day job kept me busy from before 08.00 Been thinking also where would I find a low level canopy to fit the truck.... something like this. https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...x/001(101).JPG https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...x/001(100).JPG Around 11.00 I made a coffee and took it out to the truck. Headlights fitted. BUT.......... Wrongly placed, will need to go redo them tomorrow. Missed a side tab that would seat them fully squarely. https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag.../001(377).HEIC So with the drivers side light refitted and the passenger side still to be done, it became obvious how wrong it was. https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag.../001(381).HEIC Challenge if course was to get too lower tabs in, and push the two tabs through the holes in the front panel and slide home the two sliding retainers Note the space, battery clamped in place...... So how do you get dozen into this slot without removing the battery? Using the handle of a long steel fork, I twisted it so push/force the wiring and its sheath away, then gripping in a death grip with some extra long rat nosed pliers, I slipped the hole over the pin and then slid the slot down it. Home dry. https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...ix/001(87).jpg Job done, much happier, I think. https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag.../001(382).HEIC So I had to wait for the new battery to be delivered, then I could test the lights up front. I also got onto another small repair job. Specifically a redneck repair. Unlikely to be guessed. |
Re: Grizz's Redneck Express 1966 Chevy Short Fleetside RESTO-GO!
Remember this.....??
Armrest come backrest when you go three up front. https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag.../001(235).HEIC https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag.../001(232).HEIC So I removed it today. Removed all the old manky, sticky foam and backing sticker in the kitchen. https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag.../001(391).HEIC This truck was originally a Missouri truck, so rather than use some flat sheet metal, I thought one of the license plates from Dennis seemed a better idea. https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag.../001(389).HEIC Cut and bent to fit the interior, and this will support the inside of the armrest. https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag.../001(390).HEIC And then glued in place using a couple of G-clamps, backing plates to keep it all in place a 5 litre jug of water, earmarked for the radiator flush and recharge, but perfect to keep it all tight while the glue dries overnight. https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag.../001(386).HEIC I am sure that this will make the armrest feel solid, rather than squidgy when I do use it, either as a rest or as a pivot when getting in or out the car. Refit some time tomorrow when it is well dried. |
Re: Grizz's Redneck Express 1966 Chevy Short Fleetside RESTO-GO!
Perfectly timed delivery when I walked up to the house.
https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag.../001(387).HEIC Unbolted the old battery. Removed it....... Found a puddle, and a small rubber mat. Not good. Anyone got a good battery tray to sell, or am I making my own ? Done it before for the C10 relocated battery https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag.../001(388).HEIC Plan is to remove the battery and tray sometime, clean up, weld up and seal and paint the tray. After fitting the new battery of course the best part was starting the engine up, and testing the lights, and indicators. https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag.../001(385).HEIC Happy to say that they really look much better in real life. Money and time so well spent. Indicator. https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag.../001(384).HEIC After 11.00pm methinks its bedtime. Thanks for checking in and all your comments. Later. |
Re: Grizz's Redneck Express 1966 Chevy Short Fleetside RESTO-GO!
Looking Good there Rian!

Re: Grizz's Redneck Express 1966 Chevy Short Fleetside RESTO-GO!
Went shopping in the S10 today.
Big grin all the way. Bought some resistors. Fitting tomorrow if weather and Sally permits. Also got a toot and thumbs up on the way home. Perfect. |
Re: Grizz's Redneck Express 1966 Chevy Short Fleetside RESTO-GO!
Marmite.
Chalk n Cheese. Give and Take. Wheels from other brands. Still have the hots for a set of these, I see they come as low as £120.00 for 4 with or without tyres. https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...ix/001(91).jpg So with the 5x120 size here, a lot of non-GM wheels will be needing spacers to place them right in the arches. Yesterday afternoon around 5.00pm I saw some 5x120 BMW 20mm spacers with a 72mm centre bore on Marketplace for £20.00 including 9 bolts about 10 miles from here. The S10 uses Nuts, not bolts, so missing one was fine, and these can be used for trading again at some point. Contacted the seller to say I was interested but could only collect today if I went out for some hardware, and that he should sell them if another buyer came up. “Where do you live, I am headed out for some food shopping in a few minutes” Told him where I lived, and he said he would run by and just drop them off on the driveway en route to the grocery store. So half an hour later I traded, a pack of Haribo Mix for his kids in the car and some cash for him. Saved me 20 miles driving and specific planning. https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag.../001(397).HEIC Nice way to end my day........; now to find something interesting to fit for winter wheels. (No, absolutely do not need them, you are right) Went to bed late, woke too early, by 05.00 so sat chatting with Dennis in St Louis about life and the 66 NASCAR C10 Truck build that is progressing. Later he went to bed and I went down for breakfast. Pleasant surprise outside. Rain had stopped, thankfully, as I had a few plans for today. https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag.../001(396).HEIC Plan one for today was to fit the resistors over the LED indicator wires. One on each side. https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag.../001(400).HEIC Front end disassembled again, easier every time as you learn your way around this truck. https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag.../001(399).HEIC Outside was 3’C and shady, plus there was a brisk breeze, cutting through 4 layers, that was less than pleasant. This is the mess I found. Remember the wiring on the Blazer? That was certainly worse, and I got that lot tidied up. Tried to get the soldering iron warm enough to undo the joins the cowboy who did the original wiring “modifications” had done was fun, it actually did not get warm enough. https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag.../001(398).HEIC https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...ix/001(92).jpg Mate Martin had given advice remotely as well, as he speaks electrics in his sleep. But a bit of a struggle for my little brain overall. @craigrk suggested I remove all the mess and use some of these plugs units. So I ordered them off eBay for delivery next weekend.and will solder in new wires and connections. https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...ix/001(42).PNG Reassembled. Amber bulbs fitted temporarily. https://youtu.be/jyv9UAEtv4Q After this I came in to warm up and also had a delivery. One more small job left to do a bit later. |
Re: Grizz's Redneck Express 1966 Chevy Short Fleetside RESTO-GO!
Been a bit busy with the day job.
Small jobs. This one took about 6 minutes in total. . https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag.../001(404).HEIC https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag.../001(401).HEIC I hear @pauly clapping now. https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag.../001(402).HEIC And they are ready to be off to Hampshire https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag.../001(403).HEIC And in their place will be a set of original manufacturers specification lights. Personal choice yes. https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...ix/001(43).PNG Remember how pitted my battery tray was, lots of holes rusted through. Reached out to Robert, they guy selling me an original steering wheel, and asked if he maybe had one in better condition. He went through his scrap pile nd found this one, needs a bit of cleaning and painting, but looks better than mine. https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...x/001(105).JPG https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...x/001(103).JPG https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...x/001(104).JPG Saw this truck for sale on FB today. In case someone needs one. 145k miles and £6750.00 https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...ix/001(44).PNG And so that is all for today. Bit by bit. |
Re: Grizz's Redneck Express 1966 Chevy Short Fleetside RESTO-GO!
Man oh man, Rian I am so glad to see that you are going to go back to stock tail lights.
The after market ones that came on your truck were the thing that bugged me about your truck. So happy to see all your progress. Good luck on your job search. |
Re: Grizz's Redneck Express 1966 Chevy Short Fleetside RESTO-GO!
Quote:
This truck is nice, no great challenges. Covid-19 has taught us to work more sensibly, if not cleverly. Everything done remotely, and with little more concern, circumspection and care. So buying the wheels for the truck....... paid remotely yesterday. Got it all piled up outside a garage at a post code, collection and pickup arranged by someone who happens to be doing a disability conversion for hand controls in a paraplegics car a few houses away. Clever, or blind luck? Got to see what I have bought by messenger video today, terrible video quality, but happy to have seen it anyways. Note the original rear lights, wheel nut caps and centre caps all in the pic as well. https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...ix/001(47).PNG Tyre treads seem to be pretty decent, not needing replacement at this point. https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...ix/001(46).PNG BONUS TIME: Steve the seller is also giving me a GMC Grille and headlights, which could work on my truck with minimal modifications. https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...ix/001(45).PNG He also has a 4.3 V6 and Auto gearbox to sell. PM me for details. Then Steve dropped the bombshell........ Gear-lever came off, and I have left the Torx screw on it, in case you have a problem with yours. He remembered I was looking into changing mine recently and has given me his. https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...ix/001(48).PNG I want to strip the rubbed knob off, and fit this new ally knob. https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...x/001(106).JPG Somehow the little grub screws are missing, but you get the idea. https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag.../001(409).HEIC Pretty pleased tonight. Little by Little it is getting together. Chuffed. |

Re: Grizz's Redneck Express 1966 Chevy Short Fleetside RESTO-GO!
The Fleetside badges on the sides of the truck have been a thorn in my side from day one, mainly because they are both drilled through in 4 places.
I am kinda ambivalent about the aesthetic, but the holes bug the living hell out of me. And I will not be welding them up or closing them, and repainting the whole truck. So making the best of it came together today. Chatting with Fil in Cambridge who fetched the Rezin Rockit, after his offer of a new rear bed mat for the truck, his suggestion of a tongue in cheek name for the truck resonated, and set in motion some work and research Quote:
https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag.../001(408).HEIC 400mm long https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag.../001(407).HEIC Wedge shaped and flat faced, pic taken tonight as part of the planning. https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag.../001(410).HEIC So the attention turned to CraigRK and Andy in Tulsa Oklahoma, both capable 3D printers. Could they print and Cast me a new set of silly custom side badges to fit over the holes with some double sided tape. Something along this style. Of course it may be a divider, but hey, life is interesting. https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...ix/001(49).PNG Let’s see where this goes. .PS: Fill said that he likes the Rumble of the V6, lets see if it can be improved if I can find an electric cutout switch for the exhaust, fitted before the muffler/silencer. Could be a nice sound................... A BIT LIKE THIS https://youtu.be/Fwf1M-irmG0 Another one https://youtu.be/aVbvZmJ82uY Just enough of an antisocial tone. |
Re: Grizz's Redneck Express 1966 Chevy Short Fleetside RESTO-GO!
So many things on this truck, which really was meant to just be a get in and drive it type of ownership project has changed.
Typically things changed. And then, little by little it started to open itself up to me, allowing me to discover its secrets, its quirks, its character, ZQ8 factory build. Things have kinda fallen in place, sure, I made some effort too, in fact I probably made a lot of effort in some cases. And one of the things that happened so randomly was being offered for sale, a 20 year old set of factory ZQ8 wheels with tyres. I never got to see them and still have not looked at them for real, but was told by Steve the seller that they did not have any kerb rash. That I will check out when I get to wash and clean them for inspection possibly tomorrow. With the current restrictions of travel, I had anticipated only getting my hands on them at some point when the house arrest is lifted. Step up mate Martin who is restoring a 1965 C10 truck His day job is working and converting all sorts of cars for disabled people, from paraplegics to amputees and everything inbetween Today he had a job up the street from Steve, so by 09.00 he had already stopped, picked up and driven off with the wheels. Always good to have a mobile job with a van. https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...ix/001(96).jpg Loaded. Steve also sent me a very good GMC S15 Sonoma Grille to use as a garage hanging. https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...ix/001(94).jpg After work I shot out for food shopping and stopped by to pick up my goodies and help Martin lift his 65 hood into place as he is moving house in the next two weeks. Again, sensibly he had prepared it all by the time I got there. https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag.../001(420).HEIC The hood is LARGE, really lARGE. https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag.../001(421).HEIC Job done. https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag.../001(417).HEIC And wheels loaded. https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag.../001(419).HEIC Looking closer, but not fully inspected, they will need repainting. So QUESTION TIME........ Powder coating, anyone do me shadow chrome on any wheels before ? Please show me and report on durability etc. https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag.../001(416).HEIC https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag.../001(415).HEIC One for a few of the guys, @pauly included, is the replacement, swapped out, 20 year old rear light lenses. They will be getting some serious attention from G3 rubbing compound to revitalise and shine up the lenses. https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag.../001(418).HEIC Also in the bag were the good centre caps for the wheels, GMC items, unfortunately, available to trade for good Chevrolet items. A few wheel nut covers in plastic, need another 10 of them, and also 20 special wheel nuts with an external thread for the wheel nut caps, they in turn hold the centre caps in place. Lastly........ The BONUS item A spare gear shift lever from Steve’s truck, which will be a floor shift manual in future. I wanted one that I could modify, while retaining the original for refitting if ever needed. https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...ix/001(98).jpg And to close out the day, a nice sunset again. https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag.../001(414).HEIC Life is good, I may have mentioned this before. |
Re: Grizz's Redneck Express 1966 Chevy Short Fleetside RESTO-GO!
So this morning I went out to see what my £200.00 or $260.00 had bought me.
Tyres, still have some life left in them. (Subject to getting changed at a whim) https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag.../001(425).HEIC These wheels will be needing a refurbishment, without doubt. https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...x/001(101).jpg Lacquer peel and also oxidation on the diamond cut surfaces, in order to get them up to the standard the truck is presenting. https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...x/001(104).jpg During my lunch hour I used a whole large bottle of Cif/ammonia based scrubbing agent along with two large, hard brushes to clean them one at a time. The two on the left are cleaned. Dirty on the right. https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...x/001(102).jpg Also done today, at 07.00 when I got up, I cleaned the front and rears of these caps, 20 years worth of brake dust, muck etc took an hour to clean, but result was decent. Unfortunately I only got 11 wheel nut caps when I got the wheels, so will need to find or buy some more. https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...ix/001(99).jpg https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...x/001(100).jpg And unless I find a trade for some Chevrolet items in the UK, I may fill these debossed GMC logos with a resin based filler and sand them flat, followed by paint. https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag.../001(424).HEIC What I would like to fit...... https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...x/001(111).JPG Hope to have it all done sooner than later. |
Re: Grizz's Redneck Express 1966 Chevy Short Fleetside RESTO-GO!
Another quick job while on a Teams or was it Zoom meeting today, they get so tedious.
Sat with a big knife and my breadboard below the camera angle (my colleagues would be horrified) and cut the existing knob away. Then hit hard times. https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag.../001(429).HEIC In fact, so hard that I had to go to the garage quickly to grind back the secondary knob as it was not going to let me cut it away. https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag.../001(427).HEIC Grabbed some magic in a tube, mixed on the back of a pizza box, dribbled into the new ally shift knob, Followed by the shift lever. https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...x/001(103).jpg Then set it to dry in the vice, brought it into the house later and laid it on the hot water radiator, hopefully to make it react faster to the heat. https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag.../001(426).HEIC You recall the swapping of rear light units. Well, looking closer, these need some attention, grinder, DA, Compound I guess. Not today though. https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag.../001(423).HEIC https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag.../001(422).HEIC Once flatted back, polished etc, they should look just fine. In another great Karma in action turn, I got a PM from @peteh1969 to ask if I was interested in some free 3D design work that @craigrk could print off, in order to create a more interesting cover for the holes in the bedsides of the truck. The print files would also be sent to Andy in Oklahoma to print and then create aluminium castings for the truck. So after sending me various designs and ideas, Pete finalised the one I had in mind. This should be fun, and a massive Thank You to Pete. Imagine these either in chrome paint, or the ally buffed to a nice shine. https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...x/001(110).JPG Been a long day, I guess it is bedtime soon. |
Re: Grizz's Redneck Express 1966 Chevy Short Fleetside RESTO-GO!
So many of the things I have done so far were not needed.
But they do make me feel good about the truck. Ordered a replacement for this manky piece too. https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag.../001(412).HEIC This lot arrived too. Though current weather completely precludes fitting. https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag.../001(413).HEIC These also landed. Push fit blugs for the side repeaters. Guess we will now be drilling bigger holes in the fenders. https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag.../001(411).HEIC Though......... Looking at the weather forecast it may be a slow week ahead. https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...ix/001(50).PNG Still. Its Friday, 10 hours to the weekend. |
Re: Grizz's Redneck Express 1966 Chevy Short Fleetside RESTO-GO!
Funny the stuff that catches ones eye on FB Marketplace
I was genuinely looking for a random full size spare for the A10 https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...x/001(106).jpg Busy work day, but made some time for myself, First job took about 5 minutes. https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag.../001(431).HEIC https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag.../001(433).HEIC Pleased with the result of that. Later some more stolen time between meetings, foregoing lunch. I wanted to black out the B-pillar as part of tinting the door glass to create a large expanse of black. https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag.../001(436).HEIC So ordered a piece of Matt finish black car wrap vinyl @ 200mm x 500mm for £2.88 including postage from eBay, that is CHEAP. Rolled up for delivery, it did not look promising at all. https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag.../001(432).HEIC Cutting the strip in half, then taping it up, I traced the profile by just rubbing it against the B-pillar and the took some scissors to trim it back (the offcuts are being used on Sallys Corsa rear door mini pillars. https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag.../001(434).HEIC Once trimmed right back, a decent rub down to shape the vinyl on the curves. https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag.../001(430).HEIC And finally all done, next was the passenger side, again done between meetings https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag.../001(435).HEIC Tonight @craigrk sent a message to show what he had done as a test sample. Thanks to @peteh1969 for the work so far. https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...x/001(107).jpg I am liking this as an alternative to the existing badges. https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...x/001(105).jpg Weekend plans?? |
