Took almost a month to find a 351 Cleveland in Arizona. Finally found a wrecked '71 cougar in Phoenix that had one. But, on to trucks. When I bought my C10 the previous owner put the battery under the bed. What a pain on the B U Tocks. Dealing with some ongoing wiring issues we had crawl under the truck to drop the battery in order to disconnect it. I would NEVER recommend that placement for the battery. Since there isn't much original about this truck I elected to put a below rail bed box in the truck and move the battery inside the box. Keeping the engine bay battery free. I often drive the truck in a 100-mile radius. Super easy battery access and now have a place to keep tools and cleaning materials. Will post pictures later. |

Looking good! I've laid several 1-stage lacquer paint jobs on my vehicles over the years. A nice, cool desert morning with no wind is still fairly easy to come by. The energy and ambition (and single stage lacquer, for that matter!) for that has pretty much departed, though.

''PK'' my Marine buddy who helped me rebuild my first 292 L6 back at MCAS Yuma, in the Summer of '77, used to wax poetic about the 351 Cleveland. A Ford big block underbored with small block pistons and crank. And his Dad worked for GM in Cleveland. Back in the late '90s, there was a gas station selling 105 octane on North First Ave. I put 5 gallons of that in my '71 GMC Jimmy, and proceeded to rock-and-roll. On the way to the Emissions test station, my SBC sucked valves in cylinders #6 and #7. After that I bought a Goodwrench 350 crate motor and treated it better. Except for battery acid eating the cup on the lower P/S fender tip, I can't see any advantage to relocating a battery. But I have a built 292 L6, and have extra space under the hood. Border Patrol guys have told me I have the room to smuggle 2 smallish illegals under my hood. But I don't really need extra gardeners that bad.:ito: |

Welded up all the holes in the passenger fender skirt . Tried a different black for this skirt but I like the SEM Rust Shield better . I use a HF purple gun for this type of stuff.
