Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

My passenger side notch was @ 3/8" off center to top of the axle tube - not happy - but it "will work"... tube hits the snubber.

I relieved the front lower edge a bit with the grinder and dressed it up.

Moved the driver's side notch up a bit to correct and I got it welded in yesterday.

My buddy Keith say's I'm a mad-man for attempting it in the first place - it was my first time doing something like this... scary.

No guts - no glory... DONE with the NOTCH-OHS!

With the bed sills on pads and full extension of the rear suspension to the snubbers it looks like it could hit the bed wood at some point.

Raising the bed floor for clearance I guess...

Rear 4" drop springs today.

Well boys,
I am way behind, So yesterday I hauled a lot of junk with mine. Then tarped it that evening, and now its raining today! Good thing I threw the tarp on it!

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

With the 62 original rear still in I decided to "finish" the rear drop to see what it will look like when I am actually done with the chassis and suspension...

I have to figure out shock placement, pinion angle for saddles on new rear, and so on.

I have another question -

Are any of you that went 5 1/2" front // 6" rear on a static drop running a rear tank and has it been a problem?

I got the rear-tank conversion "kit" from Brothers and I'm looking at making that work somehow too.

Thanks doesn't really cover the gratitude I have for this site...

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Shot the base color for part of the firewall. I only had a tiny bit of paint, but I stretched enough to cover enough of the portion that I wanted blue. The rest will be satin black, like the inner fenders and under hood.

I'll clear it tomorrow night after work (hopefully). I was supposed to be finished with the firewall AND the frame, but I spent a lot of time sanding some more on the firewall. Still didn't take it all the way to bare metal everywhere (wished I would have). I also had a comparability issue with the rusty metal primer and the self-etching primer; it ended up cracking. I guess I didn't wait enough for the rusty metal primer to cure, so it was still off gassing and shrinking. I was able to cover it with some high build primer and sand it down so it doesn't show. Aggravating though.

Alright, I even flipped the picture upside down in photoshop and it still came out upside down on the post! Sorry, I tried!

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Drove my wife to visit her Daddy in the cemetery.
He always wanted to ride in my 1965 C10 "Sally" but he left us before I got her done, so I take my wife in Sally so he can see her while we visit, he seems to ride back home with us in my wife's heart every time.
He causes her to cry....
"Bill" was a good man, and I am sorry I didn't work fast enough!

Installed my junk yard sway bar today. Purchased it back in late winter and then had to shelve it when my starter blew, requiring emergency attention. I understand why everyone that's added a sway bar says it's a must, the handling is so much less Titanic like.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Finished hashing out the rear tank conversion on my 62 C10 while my son cleaned the frame.

I dig that truck. /\ /\ /\ It just has "the look."

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

well I found out the A/C COMPRESSOR is leaking from the body the dyed showed yhat , took it to the car wash and pressure cleaned the dirt out of the bed , also adjusted the idle on the TBI since someone had messed with it and it was idling to high .

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

That's a lesson for all of us right there. Enjoy the build, but take time to enjoy the people too. The truck will always be there, but your loved ones pass on.

My sympathies to you and your wife. It's great that you have a bonding point you can all three enjoy.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Finished cutting up the spare frame and turned it into a cab dolly. Rolled it up under the car port and loaded the scrap on the trailer.

Should be done assembling the frame this coming Sunday and then wrap it up and move it out of the way so I can start patching the BBW cab.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

It's a shame those have never been reproduced. They can be such a nice improvement. Many trucks could benefit by adding one, but the rarity and expense makes it impractical for a lot of owners.
