Re: What did you do to your truck today part IV
I finished cleaning up the tie rod ends and steering components on the crossmember upgrade to my 66. Since I did use my old 66 crossmember and used the control arms and spindles off of a 79 c10 truck, will the linkage from the 79 work ok without any problems? Also do I need to use shocks for a 66 or a 79? All help appreciated

On my green truck I just used later model spindles and on my blue truck I used all of the steering components from a 75. Capt Fab sells a mount for the later steering box if you don't already have one. |

Mounted power steering box with Captain Fabs adapter. Was able to set idler arm, with help from ideas on this forum. Thanks folks .I didn't weld the adapter. I think it will be fine with just the bolts. Now on to getting power booster bracket (also Capt. Fab product) mounted.

I pulled my bed off and started to sand the exterior of my cab. Never thought I would dig this far into this truck but it has been fun

What a nice shop! Is your truck red and white or orange and white?

Installing a kit behind my seat in the C30. Highly adaptable, minimal tools required, accommodates speakers, outside sound attenuation, can be easily upholstered, seat removal not required, doesn't interfere with seat travel, no drilling into cab, uses all existing cab bolts for install..

I put my bed together for test fitting. Everything aligned and fit together very good, just a lot of work for one person.

Wife helped out by making the tailgate look much better. Now we'll work on taking some paint off and giving it a weathered look. Like it's been there for some time.

Re: What did you do to your truck today part IV
So over the past couple weeks I have been modifying my 62 LBF.... Engine and trans out, front end removed, torsion bar crossmember out, 78 crossmember has been test fit once, and will require a little modification. Bottom three bolts all aligned (had to modify rear-most bolt hole), but the side of the frame appears as though I may have to drill all 4 new holes on both sides - well, 1 bolt hole can be opened up. Adding a BTR V2 stagev2 cam, new posi rear end (True Trac) 3.73:1, and Kore3 disc brakes all around. Going with a 7/8 tandem Wilwood master, and going to try them manual to start . . . headers, new ididit column, new seats, carpet . . . I've been waiting a long time to make these mods!

For the past two days with the help of GREAT friends, we were able to pull the old and tired 4 speed Hydramatic from the GMC 305 V-6 and replace it with a 700R4.
The Hydramatic Transmission was designed and developed by GM in 1935-36 and was the heaviest transmission GM ever made - how heavy you ask? 465 pounds of Cast Iron and Gears; by comparison my newer 700R4 only weighs 145 pounds. I call the last Photo "The Quick and The Dead...... |

Installed a new pair of repro interior arm rests. Mine had one early style, one later blocky one, both bad, held together with electrical tape. My truck has patina in and out, but these were past it.
