Re: my '64 c-10 swb project with steel floor from a '70
Engine is looking good.

Re: my '64 c-10 swb project with steel floor from a '70
Just caught up on your build Chad, took a while(23 pages). You're really doing a great job, keep up the good work! Truck is really coming out great! I know how hard it is to try to keep the motivation going especially when life keeps getting involved, but amid all obstacles you're doing it, keep at it! You'll get there!

well here is the motor as of today I made a bracket for the trans dipstick copied the same teardrop shape, but I had to paint it first will take a pic of it next weekend!! got the radiator mounted, rad. hoses on ( had to notch frame for the bottom hose), got the shotgun intake on, painted the butterflies to match motor!! then I just sat in the chair and stared at the motor, my dad asked what I was doing? I told him day dreaming, lol!!!
i'm hoping next weekend I can get my braided hydro boost hoses on, spark plugs and wires on, fuel pump on, coil on ( been thinking of putting it in the cab) run the wires thru the firewall to not have so much stuff on the firewall! got to install my kickdown cable and gas pedal cable, I still got to see if I can have my trans dipstick where I want it and still have the heater box mounted! they sent me the wrong oil dipstick it wont go in the block, hole in the block is a lil smaller then the shaft, but anyways we will see what happens, I still got to go to clems party |
Re: my '64 c-10 swb project with steel floor from a '70

Re: my '64 c-10 swb project with steel floor from a '70
Hat's off to you Chad! I know you have a lot of obstacles to overcome just to get time to work on it. Family, work, money and having to travel just to work on it. You are doing a FANTASTIC job! Your efforts are well worth it, you are turning out one BAD ride keep on it you'll get there.

this is the bracket I bent up to mount the trans dipstick off the firewall enough to fill it and be able to use it to! I also had to grind the oil dipstick down a lil to fit, got it installed too! also got my fuel pump installed! I did a lil work on the truck sunday I started to strip my driver door down then stopped when I found a lot of bondo! So I stopped and I think i'm going to look for another driver door, its going to be to much work to try and fix, I forgot to take a pic of the door and the oil dipstick installed!

Dude!
The motor is lookin sweet! I'm sure that you can hardly wait to hear it purrrrrr! I know how anxious that I am to hear mine fire-up, and it makes me crazy with anticipation!...So I feel your pain! It is really hard to stay focused on other items with a fresh motor staring you in the face!!!...Also why I stored mine in a separate area, because I was gettin side-tracked when doing bodywork Keep on it! |
Re: my '64 c-10 swb project with steel floor from a '70
lotta motor in that little hole LOL ......Looks great
