Re: SoCal checkin' in
WELCOME Jay ! :chevy: .
The I-6 is dead simple to overhaul your own self and you'll prolly do a better job than any Garage because you care . Make sure whomever does your cylinder head rebuilding , replaces ALL the valve guides with bronze ones , the entire head including new guides and stellite valve seats should be under $300 . A properly built 250 will easily chirp the tires so be wary of " racing " cams as they tend to make it very sluggish off a dead stop . These sturdy engines are fairly long stroke so they don't like to be revved a lot like the V-8's do . Either way , be sure to punch out all the old block freeze plugs and replace them with brass ones , only a few $ more but the brass ones will never rust out . |

Im trying to do it right and set up small gols for myself and right now its suspension while the engine is sent off. Im a mech myself but I live in base housing where Im not really even supposed to have this project, or otherwise I would do the rebuild myself. Currently there are no aspirations to clean up the body, really trying to piece together the suspension, brakes, engine components, and at least get it rolling. If your my neighbor rodger up and come check out my build so far! Jay |

I was actually thinking of running 18's 20 combination on my longbed. So that would be a nice setup. Im your neighbor 2 1/2 hours away. LOL It is a few on here that are in the SD area. Since your engine is out, I would say do your suspension now while its out. |

Not exactly SoCal but crossposting from another California forum I'm on. Guy selling his 1970 to help out his wife. Looks like a good cause and a clean looking truck.

WELCOME CLAY ! :chevy: .
You'll find the good folks here collectively know any answer to any question no matter how mundane so ask away . What's the plan for your rig ? . Hot Rod ? Boulevard Cruiser ? . Restoration ? . Beater Work Truck ? . People always ask me if I'm a Journeyman Mechanic , why do I always seem to have a Carpenter's Hammer nearby =8-) . |

Re: SoCal checkin' in
Looks like it will be a nice addition to our San Diego C10 Club Convoy on June 30th to Brothers. Of course we might not be able to keep up. LOL Check the current Brothers show thread for updates as to when we are meeting up. We have not decided yet but it will be soon.

Re: SoCal checkin' in

Re: SoCal checkin' in
We usually meet up early around 5:15 am on Scripps Poway Parkway, but I have heard of a couple of guys that are here in El Cajon and San Diego that are going too so we may meet several places like we did last year.

Re: SoCal checkin' in
Not your Prom Queen but my Queen just the same...Got bored Saturday and cruised the coast South up over Mt Soledad and down to Cass Street Bar and Grill for lunch and then cruise back up North with a stop at Torrey Pines Glider port or Blacks Beach for the locals.
