You're right. It's the old radiator over flow hose hooked up to a breather at the top of the bottle and runs down through the frame.

I actually got thee new mufflers put on last week. They are a lot quieter and will make driving it much nicer. Before and after. Doesnt sound much different on the vid I guess but it is worlds apart.

Got four of the six bolts holding my SM318 tranny in removed. She'll come out this Saturday and get a good cleaning, a new throwout bearing, pilot bearing, and mounts. Have to have the clutch plate rebuilt (smear more "asbestos" on it) then hopefully she'll be purring like a kitten again.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Just getting ready to go out and put this stuff in. Wish me luck!

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Mine got photoshopped thanks to McCoy AZ. I wanted to see what it would look like lowered and with chrome rims. I was originally thinking chrome center caps but now that I have seen the photoshop I am thinking it might look far more *****ing with chrome smoothies. Here are the original and the altered images:

I thought it looked perfect in the first pic

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

First pic, not lowered and black rims...is the it picture.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Slapped on a set of 3 bar simulated knock offs last night. Not sure yet if they are an improvement or not. I guess time will tell:

Mark we need a full side view of your truck with the new knock offs.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

I took my dog for a cruise and we ended up stopping at the Pavilions car show here in Scottsdale. It was my first time bringing a vehicle to a car show. There was so much vehicular eye candy. My dog and I had a great time walking around. He peed on a shrub right in front of the Ford display area. I had parked sort of out of the way myself and was surprised that my truck attracted people to look at it...especially considering all the other amazing cars and trucks. It was nice to see that people had an interest. The lettering on my doors seemed to be of particular interest.

I found out that the first rule of the Pavilions car show (and probably many others) is to park facing out. One of the organizers was chasing all around before he caught up to me. Oops. Rookie mistake. :ben:

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

I might get a couple different wheelsets for the truck and just swap them on occasion. I like steelies both plain and with hubcaps and now the California Smoothies with the vintage chevy caps added (Delmo-style) are starting to catch my attention for a different look for certain occasions.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Thanks! I chose the baby moons to hide the fact that its gonna be five lugs in front and six in back.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Here’s the only one I’ve taken so far, at a local car show today. There are professional photos of the truck coming in a few days. I’ll post them as soon as they show up:

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Today....????? Mostly just drove it and enjoyed it.

My mate Martin and his wife Amanda invited me to this show, which I had planned on inviting them to as well.

This morning at 05.00 Harley came in to wake me, and by 05.30 I was up, out the house by about 06.15 to go run through a boot fair before meeting Martin and Amanda at the Esso Services on the A2 at 08.00 sharp.

Bootfair was great, I popped into McD's for a coffee before hitting the road with the Redneck Express.

Being exhibitors, we got free entry to the show and the Steam Meuseum.

I will try to just post some pics.

Due to the sheer volume of American cars and trucks, I have decided to post up mostly just the trucks.

Hope you like.

At bootfair early morning......

We were being followed by a '65 Chevy in blue and red oxide primer.

Maybe not as happy now as he had been earlier. Never seen him without a smile.

There really was something for everyone.

Can you see the rider on this??

On the way home I stopped by at my other buddy Mavericks place to drop of stuff and collect a plasma cutter of mine he had there.

I WANT A RIDE ON TRACTOR.

Will be posting a bunch of pics in the general section later.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Well... continued with the destruction:c2: ( I have days where I think deconstruction is almost as fun as building!) Got the hood and entire front clip off and unhooked other components in prep for cab and engine removal! :metal:

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Yesterday I put on my disc convert set and front air ride. truck looks nice sitting low. Now just to finish the rear, new master cylinder and brake lines.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

I replaced the stock door checks with those from a Jeep. I got tired of the doors whipping open on windy days or parking on a grade. I'm still getting use to the doors not opening quite as far as they use to, but I don't hate it. This article is a great step-by-step and describes how it changes the overall door swing. Junkyard Barbie charged $2 for the checks, so it was worth the cost, but I should have checked other Chevy's to see if they had stop checks that would fit the C10.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

...did the final mock up of the power window switch that uses the original window crank. Time to take it all apart again...

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

wow Vin, that door panel looks stellar!

I got a package from the man in Brown today.... new gas tank!!!! Will try to install it over the weekend as i need new lines and stuff.https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/u0...w333-h187-p-no

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

I got the small parts of the bedwood cut drilled and stained. What a PAIN! I should have all the wood cut, stained and cleared by late Friday night. I was hoping to have it done by Sat. morning for a show but it's not going to happen. I messed up some pieces but the strips will hide the mistakes.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Hey Mark what show was that? My friend won 1st at Silverwood with his 67 Chevelle convert.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

It was at the Valley Fourth Church on South Bowdish. It’s a military appreciation day and fundraiser for the care packages they send overseas. I understood this to be the 4th or 5th show they’ve put on, although it’s the first I attended. Very low key, and a lot of open space for everyone to spread out. I believe the grounds were probably borrowed from the local High School. From what I overheard it had the biggest turnout to date.

Is there a local show nearby this weekend? The next one I’m aware of is on 9/27 at Mirabeau Park in Spokane Valley. I’ve never been to it but my son has. It’s called Valleyfest and has a fair like atmosphere from what I’ve been told.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

My friend with the Chevelle told me tonight he was going to a few shows this weekend. Not sure where they are but they are in town. Maybe on the Northside of town. Thats his hang out. You should go to Shakeys at the Y Tuesday. He will be DJ'ing and there are ton of cars that show up. I should have the truck there if I get the bed back on.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

I installed new side trim, chrome grill and bumper yesterday it had painted ones.

looks really nice, that's a clean grill

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

I polished the used grill with 0000 steel wool and Mothers mag wheel polish.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

These came in a couple of weeks ago.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

No pictures to share, but Lucy's Limousine is being put through the steps towards new color. First was the panel repairs done last week. Today, the rain gutter was filled with 3M 08329, Control-flo seam sealer. Tomorrow night, it goes into the back shop and will be sanded and prepped for primer, as the painter wants to head home in AZ. This weekend looks to be soggy, so painting might be a good idea.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Finally pulled the trigger on running the new front brake lines - happy with the results.... will be happy if they hold pressure when I'm done lol

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Vin, checked out your truck in your photo bucket, Man that is an awesome truck, Great Job!!

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

After work today I went down to the garage to check something out that has bugged me for a while.

The truck has some white plastic panels along the bottoms of the doors, and when I bought it, my suspicion was that they were covering holes. Presumably speaker holes. But you could not feel it, as the plastic is quite thick.


http://i294.photobucket.com/albums/m...pscf8bc5a0.jpg

Ideally I would be happy with intact all steel door panels, but hey..... if the holes are there..... make lemonade.

Et Voila !!!!

http://i294.photobucket.com/albums/m...ps3cea77c8.jpg

Test fitted the 6 X 9 200 Watt speakers I had hidden for a rainy day and even the mounting holes correspond.

I also have an amp in the garage that I gave to a friend a few years ago, along with a 12 inch Sub, which should drive the pair of 4 ways quite adequately.

http://i294.photobucket.com/albums/m...ps5207f19a.jpg

Of course there are also a pair of speakers mounted in the "B-Pillars" behind my head, but I will be leaving them alone. Along with the 400 Watt speakers in the doors, it will be way more noise than I need.

http://i294.photobucket.com/albums/m...ps293e61c3.jpg

Over the weekend I have a few bits to do, including going to see a guy about airbrush painting a skull.

I may pop over to Martins, as he is in the electronics game and I want to fit a beeper inside the cab to my indicator, so that I can remember to switch them off after I go around a corner.
He also has rubber grommets which he uses in his daily job, or removes from customers cars, so maybe fit some when fitting the speakers in the doors.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Always wanted to speakers in that location.. How don't hey sound? What size speakers do you have?

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Not sure what you mean, as the description mentions 6 X 9 speakers with 200 Watt in the doors, still to be fitted, but if you mean the ones in the B-Pillars, I guess they are 6 inch and no more than 40 Watts each
They sound OK, perfect for being parked up only.
