I am also 15. I am doing a 1964 k10. Go on youtube and check out "gibson63" He is doing a 1963 chevy. He does some of the best work i have seen. shows the steps in great detail. I would go and watch some of his videos. he is amazing.

Re: A 15 year old's project. Rusty 62 stepside
 

Hey I'm 16. Nice to see another guy my age here. lol 4X4's rock! I've seen many of Gibson's videos. He has a sweet truck. He's apart of this club. Username "Boat." He pops up once in a blue moon. Hope your truck is going well. :chevy:

Re: A 15 year old's project. Rusty 62 stepside
 

Hey! Great to see more young guys on here. I would like to see what your doing to your truck. Do you have a build thread? What are your plans? I've seen some of gibson63's videos and he does great work.

Yes I do have a build thread! It is called "1964 k10 build"!

I'll check on it right now

Re: A 15 year old's project. Rusty 62 stepside
 

Found some more rust I will have to repair on the inside of the cab corners

Re: A 15 year old's project. Rusty 62 stepside
 

Worked on repairing the rust on the corner of the driver door. Cut out all the rust and made a patch. Will weld it in tomorrow.

Man you make that stuff look easy! lol :chevy:

Re: A 15 year old's project. Rusty 62 stepside
 

Thanks TJ, I should be a rust professional by the time I'm finished all this:lol:

Re: A 15 year old's project. Rusty 62 stepside
 

Good job on all the rust repair.

Re: A 15 year old's project. Rusty 62 stepside
 

Thanks sub, any updates on the twisted sister?

Re: A 15 year old's project. Rusty 62 stepside
 

Good to watch your progress.

I wish my wife's son had some interest in mechanical stuff, nope.

I like the way you just keep at it and do what you need to every day.

Re: A 15 year old's project. Rusty 62 stepside
 

Thanks for the compliments grizz, I try to get something done every day on the truck and stay motivated so that the truck is ready by the time I'm 17. I don't know what the laws are like over in the uk, but here I can get my learner at 16 and drive with an adult for a year. Then at 17, I can get my novice licence and drive on my own.

Re: A 15 year old's project. Rusty 62 stepside
 

Welded some more of the bumper mounts, this will slide and bolt into the frame and the angled end will bolt to the pieces I made earlier with the oblong holes

Well, got the sm420 out and it put up quite a fight! I'm going to be sore tomorrow. I should get the t5 in tomorrow or the next day

Re: A 15 year old's project. Rusty 62 stepside
 

Nice progress. I sure could use some of your youthful exuberance! Keep up the good work. :clap:

Re: A 15 year old's project. Rusty 62 stepside
 

Good work on getting it out of there. lol Hey talk about sore...I carried my 292 inline 6 block from the car to the machinist bench. lol!

Re: A 15 year old's project. Rusty 62 stepside
 

Thanks john. Even though I'm not that close, I keep on reminding myself how awesome the end product will be

Re: A 15 year old's project. Rusty 62 stepside
 

So this is how all the chiropractors are becoming so rich:lol:

Re: A 15 year old's project. Rusty 62 stepside
 

haha!

Re: A 15 year old's project. Rusty 62 stepside
 

Picked up my t5 today. Jeep 10 spline input shaft, shortened pilot tip and shortened bearing retainer, S10 tail housing so shifter is in correct location for a bench seat. OD gear is 0.76

Nice dude.

:metal::metal::metal:

Re: A 15 year old's project. Rusty 62 stepside
 

Thanks guys:metal: I should have it installed tomorrow

Re: A 15 year old's project. Rusty 62 stepside
 

Got the t5 installed today:chevy:. Still need to shorten the driveshaft and cut the new hole in the tunnel but it looking pretty sweet already:metal:

Re: A 15 year old's project. Rusty 62 stepside

Re: A 15 year old's project. Rusty 62 stepside
 

Cut a new hole for the shifter and patched the old hole with new metal.
Once I get the driveshaft shortened I should be ready for the road:metal:
Of course I still need to wait a month till I'm 16 and then get my licence.

Re: A 15 year old's project. Rusty 62 stepside
 

Nice. Mine is open, and, boy does it get cold!

Re: A 15 year old's project. Rusty 62 stepside
 

Quick work on the trans install. Driving that truck should be a lot of fun with a 5 speed

Re: A 15 year old's project. Rusty 62 stepside
 

Thanks, I bet it gets cold and loud! I plan on putting some kind of insulation/ sound detonator under the rubber mat to solve this problem.


Thanks, it should be fun and functional:chevy: . I can already tell even without driving it that it shifts so much smoother than the old sm420. And I'll get better gas mileage:metal:

Re: A 15 year old's project. Rusty 62 stepside
 

Your progress is great! Looking forward to future updates.

Re: A 15 year old's project. Rusty 62 stepside
 

Thanks zane

Re: A 15 year old's project. Rusty 62 stepside
 

I thought this was the original shifter boot the whole time but when I looked on the bottom side of it I read f*rd! Hopefully the disease hasn't spread to the rest of the truck already!:lol:

Re: A 15 year old's project. Rusty 62 stepside
 

Looks good! Better ditch that ford shifter boot though. lol :chevy:

Re: A 15 year old's project. Rusty 62 stepside
 

Been busy with school lately but have still been getting a bit done on the truck. I've been having troubles starting it. First I thought it was the carb then I thought It was the ignition but then I found out I had a big vaccum leak that seems to be the problem. So I ordered a new gasket that should be here soon. Hopefully it will solve the problem.
