This morning is shop clean up day :mm: The new motor is installed on the air compressor and Betty is out gathering some sunshine. It made her smile to see daylight :lol:

And plenty of new parts to install :metal:

Re: 68 project
 

Also closing in on time to install the 6.0 in the k10 :metal:

It is also rolling once again :mm:

Re: 68 project
 

Nice shop. Lots of breathing room there. Rain and maybe 47° here in the Great Northwet but I like it.

Re: 68 project
 

Larry, it looks like I'm going to have to take a road trip and check out this awesome truck. I hope you're nicer then Mike because he won't give me his address haha jk!

Re: 68 project
 

Nice shop. How big is it?

Re: 68 project
 

The work area is about 1700 sq. Ft.

Re: 68 project
 

That's crazy how much that motor costs. Something speacial about it? I'm just curious. I know nothing about them.

Re: 68 project
 

You talking about the ls motor ?

Re: 68 project
 

I usually have done my Spring cleaning by now but with all of the welding, grinding, sanding and painting lately my shop is long overdue too!!

Re: 68 project
 

0uch!

Re: 68 project
 

Yes very much so.. I hate unexpected expenses :smoke:

Re: 68 project
 

Larry, I think it will go great with your theme...plus it'll be functional too!

Re: 68 project
 

I am a bit ocd when it comes to the shop , I can stand it so long and I am done until I clean and organize :smoke:

Re: 68 project
 

No for the compressor. I was wondering if there something specific about it?

Re: 68 project
 

It was a reman. it came with motor, harness, transmission, radiator, motor and tranny mounts, transfer case, radiator overflow, dual electric fans, computer, pretty much a complete change over kit

Re: 68 project
 

Just read all the pages!! WOW, what a great build! It's coming out awesome!

Re: 68 project
 

To much compressor talk and not enough truck talk. Back to our regularly scheduled program. :D

Re: 68 project
 

Thanks for taking the time to read through my build, I appreciate it :chevy:

Re: 68 project
 

:lol: I have to agree with you on that. Back to our regularly scheduled program.

Re: 68 project
 

Does the saga ever end !! ?? It just seems like you order parts after parts always thinking you are almost done and then you think of the other things you want or maybe need for your build and the " oh I need to do this before I can do that syndrome" :lol: Well I ordered my rear cover, trac bar, rear sway bar and wilwood flex lines for the brakes and of course the trac bar is on backorder until the 28th :waah:

My June goal keeps getting closer and the end never seems to get in sight, ( or does it ever end ) :lol: Well I have Thursday and Friday off this week maybe I can get my rear brakes mounted And run some brake lines from the rear to the front. :chevy:

Re: 68 project
 

I'm strugling with the have to have and the want to have ....front & rear brakes "to convert or not to convert" I have all the stock stuff need to turn rotors and drums have the pads and shoes new hardware etc. ...just so tempting to go big brakes:) .... i have a ton of other new parts to buy ahead of me ....Ill live thru your build for now learn from u and convert in the future ...your build has a lot of us inspired and keeps me motivated:)

Re: 68 project
 

You guys just give me way to much credit, :lol: some stuff I was going to do later but then I knew it would never happen so I figured I best do it now :smoke: When I bolt the body back on I want as minimal of work underneath this thing as possible. Plus my big gut couldn't fit under the frame rails anyways :waah:

I just figure at this point what is a few more hundred dollars :5150:

Re: 68 project
 

Its the little things that bite, sure doesn't look like 152.00 :smoke:

Re: 68 project
 

:mm:

Re: 68 project
 

LOL. I had what used to be $400 show up here today.
