Agreed! I wouldn't change a thing except maybe a set of aftermarket wheels.

Thanks Jeff. :thumbs:

Not much progress, but I did change out the sand in the blast cabinet with black diamond media, and what a difference. Sand isn't a good idea anyways for several reasons. Other than health reasons, it turns to powder and I can't see anything inside the cabinet. I'd have to stop and let the dust clear. Now I can blast for a while.

I blasted my bumper fillers, that's the only progress on the truck so far.

For those that might have noticed, I'm not a mod any more per my request. During the past few months I have not been able to dedicate the time to be an effective moderator. Liz stated I can be a mod again when time permits.

After about 2 months of sitting I went for a short drive to lubricate the seals.

Swing by and pick me up. You have no idea how long it's been since I've rode in one of the trucks. Well except in my basement. Lol

I got to play a little with a small TIG welder today. Shannon brought it over to see if I like it or not. We will try some sheet metal tomorrow. I am by no means a TIG welder, but it doesn't look too bad.

Alan,
You are an inspiration to all. This truck is an incredible example of clean & precise skill and experience. Im glad I got to see it come together.

Its beautiful. :)

I could really use a Tig Welder at times. Will you be buying one soon?

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
 
I would love to get a TIG welder. I had looked at one of these and almost bought one. I held off for now to finish other items that are more important than getting a new welder now.

These machines can do DC TIG, MIG and Stick. If you are not going to do any Aluminum TIG welding, this is a great machine. I think you can add a spool gun for the MIG to do Aluminum. You would need an AC TIG to do Aluminum correctly.

I've been eyeing one a buddy has that has a lot of the bells and whistles. Shannon brought this one home for me to try. I really don't need one right now, but if it's a deal.

Thanks for the link and info. I'll check it out. You are correct as far as aluminum goes.

I like that tailgate. You have a lot of good ideas that I may try on my 65 C10.

I couldn't remember for sure if I've seen it before. Since you posted your pix I remember now going thru your thread. Thanks for the pix. Nice work.



;)



There seems to be alot of room for the linkage. There is a big cavity all the way across the top.

Thanks man!! I ended up scraping this TG idea and went with the Mar-K one touch TG. It's a very nice piece.
