Re: 61K10 build
 

Woulda been nice if they put that in our 1960-1962 chevy 4x4 manual!

Re: 61K10 build
 

No problem at all! I have gotten so much help from this website, I am more than happy to be able to help back!

Re: 61K10 build
 

well got my ft shocks mounts back on. they are for a jeep tj rear. worked out fine.

Re: 61K10 build
 

cab is getting real close for paint---

Re: 61K10 build
 

Paint... then it's assembly time! Getting excited yet? Sure looks good.

Re: 61K10 build
 

Mitch--glad you are starting the body work (not as much fun as the frame for sure) excited, well a little. more tired of working and spending $$$ on it. still need the seat done and windshield, bed wood. all are $$$. rear end probably needed to be rebuilt (looking for another to rebuild for the future) don't even know if i can find a 3.90 r&p, but it's getting closer--- take care--

Re: 61K10 build
 

Hey Kimble... what ya doing?

Re: 61K10 build
 

WOW Nice work! As asked...How's it going? :chevy:

Re: 61K10 build
 

Hi guy's--was out of town. next week paint the interior and then the outside of the cab? depends on the weather---

Re: 61K10 build
 

well no paint--raining/cold, so installed rad support and fit the shroud. tk came with a 63-66 rad thats good and they added supports off the rad support to hold the rad. It did not have a shroud so i bought an after market one. bottom line, i have to drill new mounting holes for it.

Re: 61K10 build
 

and a little more sanding

Re: 61K10 build
 

going to fire up my eng today, break in the cam and ck for any other problems.

Re: 61K10 build
 

Bet your looking forward to cranking that new engine up. I'm in the same boat!!! Looks great.

Re: 61K10 build
 

well fired up my eng and broke in the cam. had only one problem. my gas line to carb had a pin hole at one of the bends, and my rad has a pin hole some where? ordered a alum one off e-bay for now.

Re: 61K10 build
 

forgot to mention my exhaust sounds great, real quiet like the org.

Re: 61K10 build
 

What....no video of the engine running?

Re: 61K10 build
 

Exciting! Must feel good to have it running.

Re: 61K10 build
 

Gonna be 1 fine looking truck, cant wait to c when your all done

Re: 61K10 build
 

I did take a video--could not get it to upload. no big deal as the fan made more noise than the exhaust at 2k rpm.

Re: 61K10 build
 

We'll let you slide this time on the video....haha. Glad the break in went well. Bet it sounds great!!

Re: 61K10 build
 

Nice and quiet. That's the way to go. Did you go with the stock barrel type Walker exhaust?

Re: 61K10 build
 

You have to upload it on youtube then transfer a link here. If you didn't try that already. Anyhow..glad the motor is running good! :chevy:

Re: 61K10 build
 

thanks TJ for the info

Mitch--used a round muffler like stock--back up a page and you will see

by the way, barbeque paint smokes big time when curing lol.

Re: 61K10 build
 

got my new $165 3 core rad. pretty nice for the price, so should i paint it black or leave it alum?
