Re: Jeffs70's Custom C-10 Build
Well I Finely Broke down and had to Sale my Truck.
LOL Yeah right to that. I have to much invested into this one to sale lol. any how I did good yesturday Finely Sold the Donor I got the Bed and Frame and some other parts off of. and the good news is I fixed it back up decent enough to sale for just around the same price I purchased it for so I think I gained in this project just under 3k so now the good thing will be that money will go directly into this project to get it on the road this summer i hope..yay I am stoked! |

I have gained some good progress and have gotten my brakes setup just the way I am wanting them. I have went ahead and relocated my Prop Valve to my Frame and Flared my own Brake lines and bent them to a nice fit. also got my Fenderwell in on the driver side after doing some modifications to get a smooth look and take out some factory bends that do not need to be there.

well today i got my brake lines all fit together and bleeded the master cylinder on the truck just like a bench bleed and that worked fine till I went to bleed the lines and wheel cylinders. I noticed the master cylinder started to leak some fluid inside the cab so now my next step is to put on another master cylinder tonight and hope to get it bleed totally. the bummer part is the master cylinder that was on the truck looks cleaner on that firewall then the newer one. guess ill have to just change it again later to one i like. |

I got quit a bit done recently as far as body work under the hood and also got my hood back from painting the underside.
also did some work today on shaving my stake pockets in the bed.. I would have left them but they are just a pita to work around any how and useless after plugging up the rails. Attachment 770498 Attachment 770499 Attachment 770500 Attachment 770501 Attachment 770502 |

Re: Jeffs70's Custom C-10 Build
im still not to sure if i will keep this color or not. thats why i tested it inside the bed. because I got it cheap enough. I think I am darting for a more of a silver with a blue metalic. or pearl. but for temp this works for me for now. least everything is easy to work with now.

Re: Jeffs70's Custom C-10 Build
im really in a good mood the last few weeks since it seems everythings going together very well. I purchased me a Red Air Ride Tech Valve block off Ebay for really cheap and wanted to test it out so I plummed up my air ride last night and I am so stoked it worked great. and I will finish the install in a few days.

Re: Jeffs70's Custom C-10 Build
This is gonna be on a cover of a magazine one day! Keep up the smooth work!

Re: Jeffs70's Custom C-10 Build
Hey Slick, Thanks bro, LOL It would amaze me if it was. I will keep dreaming till it happens I guess. You know one of them things that would be awesome to have happen. but never would beleive it till it does. Yes I surely will keep up this work as I go :) I really enjoy it.
I just got my air ride working. I need to now run the wires to the cab for the switches. and I will be a happy camper. :) |
Re: Jeffs70's Custom C-10 Build
well I ordered my compressor for my air ride so Hope to get it soon and install it. cant wait.
I am in the process of doing more body work. I swear it never ends haha. |
Re: Jeffs70's Custom C-10 Build
The pearl would look cool, to see the outcome of the pearl on our trucks check out my freinds thread. His name is Chris and he lives about 20 minutes from me. I went and looked at his project today and it is really clean. He already has his paint and it should be getting sprayed soon. Here is the link to his build. http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...=379333&page=9
Hope this helps you with color decisions!! |
