Found a unmolested, original as I can see, 66 c10 custom cab with all the options, that I'll need a chainsaw to rescue, IF I can find the owner and paperwork for.

Re: What did you do to your truck today part III
 

Was 5 miles down the road when I realized the new cell could take and download pics. The old one didn't, 'Sides that, I'm hiding it for right now!

The night before last when the newly powder coated red rims came home, Nicola renamed them "The Girls" and asked if I wanted to take them to bed, based on how pleased I was with them.

Well, yesterday another small touch landed in the post from Spain, just love the internet.

Metal centre cap badges for the wheels.

Did not want to force the trim rings on before the tyres get fitted, but sure you get the idea.

Anyway, today I wrapped up and stashed the wheels in the garage till I get around to fitting the new tyres to them.

Today I also made an executive decision that I am selling the chrome smoothies,their caps and tyres on so that I can just keep the Rallyes on the truck.


Way too many wheels about.

just getting all the crap out, in order to put my new crap in it!!!

Re: What did you do to your truck today part III
 

PO madness, these pans had over 20 rivets each to hold them down and a layer of filler. would have been better to weld new metal in. instead of causing more rust, it looks worse the it is!!!

Re: What did you do to your truck today part III
 

im in the market for new patch panels. alot of them!!!

Re: What did you do to your truck today part III
 

more madness!!!

Re: What did you do to your truck today part III
 

Today I frenched in a set of 49 Pontiac tail lights in the 64 C10. It turned out pretty good I think. Next I need to cut the holes out in the roll pan to install the rear bumper brackets.

Re: What did you do to your truck today part III
 

Not a lot.......

BUT

Freecycle vs Council tip.....

Well, I cut in and scored these two Peugeot 807 rear seats today before they got binned.

I will keep one and pass one on to my mate Martin.

Could be worked in between a pair of good bucket seats in the truck.

Then the backrest acts as a table and cup holder, or as occasional seat for a third person.

Got both 49 Pontiac tail lights installed now.

Re: What did you do to your truck today part III
 

Been prepping some parts just to keep moving forward on my 66. Didn't have much to do but my 15 year old son really like to use the sand blaster so I let him at it! LOL

I just sat there and kept the flow of sand going and he blasted almost all day long in the sun! :lol:

Hey, at least it kept him outside with his old man learning about stuff.

Re: What did you do to your truck today part III

Re: What did you do to your truck today part III
 

Went for a drive with my son on Sunday. Of course we had to stop for some slushes. Here in this picture is another cool feature of these trucks. My son loves this.

Re: What did you do to your truck today part III
 

Also don't throw out those old tv trays. They come in handy for the small jobs. :lol:

Re: What did you do to your truck today part III
 

Oh the joy of making AN lines. Just glad I'm done with that part of the stepside. But I'll get to do it again on the fleetside. Nice idea with the TV trays

Re: What did you do to your truck today part III
 

Finished waiting on fedex to bring my boxes. Now to line up the priorities to install the disc brake frontend on the 65 ramptruck.
The 65 stepside needed a new int/exh gasket. Did not have enough useage of my hands
to accomplish the job, farmed it out. Should b back today.

Re: What did you do to your truck today part III
 

Sure would like to see some pictures of your ramp truck ?

Re: What did you do to your truck today part III
 

My trucks original wheels sold to Hotrod Rick who came in his Chevy van to collect! after his SatNav dropped him about 5 miles from where we live. Love technology at times.

Cool custom, with little touches like Ford Sierra (Mondeo) door latches, locks, mk1 Mini fan and controls in the dash. His plans are a complete re-spray, the Chrome smoothies and to use it as a daily and for his business.

Money handed over to Nicola to stash under the mattress for when I buy tyres for the Rallyes.

Re: What did you do to your truck today part III
 

I actually got a little done today.

I bent the new fuel line that goes through the cab floor...

Ordered some stuff for the truck. Package was delivered yesterday but I never got it. Another is on the way Monday but I wanted to work on the truck this weekend. Damn

Re: What did you do to your truck today part III
 

Lost a little more sleep trying to find the scripted grille insert for my '61

Re: What did you do to your truck today part III
 

Ended up removing the rear passenger cab support. Low and behold found out that the floor underneath was toast, as is the cab corner. So I ordered cab corners, rockers as they are gone too, and we used a chunk of what good metal was left on the front floor to patch the rear floor.

Re: What did you do to your truck today part III
 

doesnt that grill come on the BIG trucks C50 or C60?

Re: What did you do to your truck today part III
 

I sent you a PM.
