She's back in and sitting Purdy. :) oh yeah! went in like a breeze. is all I can say. Put a high volume oil pump in it. The clearance was so darn close between the crank and pump I had to grind it a bit more for my own comfort. Also some pictures from the other day tho. Got a new clutch setup that I tossed in. Still more to come tho. Going to try and start the motor today.

Be careful with High volume pumps...they're known for breaking camshafts on these. :chevy:

I guess. Thing is I ordered a factory and the high volume pump. The high volume one is the same as factory size and everything. The normal one that was "stock" was 3 inches taller and looked like it was for a completely different motor. So I figured high volume won't hurt anything. Plus it doesn't get to cold in my area so this summer it should run fine. And if need be just find an original pump from maybe napa or auto zone and tull the pan to Toss that in. Won't take more than an hour. If that.

That we will brother haha. Yeaa if I ever kick a rod on that cylinder that be a noisy day. I'm just going to run some thin oil for the break in period to play it safe and see what she runs up to. But if this just strips out my distributor gear on the cam then heck with it. I'll go buy a new bump stick. . Also. Wheat I Ment by the size of the pump. The "stock" oil pump was 3 inches taller and larger than the high volume. I think the box was miss labeled.

Looking sharp. Be nice to see that engine running.

Re: 1965 C20 fleet side longbed DD low budget build.
Oh she will purr soon. Taking the brakes today. I really really don't want to but figured all the more reason to have it done sooner. My goal is Friday now. There's a big car show at buns and burgers in town every year to kick off the summer car shows. Going to be 200 cars plus. :)

Okay so after pulling the hair out of my head 10 times I'm about 80 percent done with the brakes. I need a few springs and two adjusters for the front brakes and them I'm done. Other than bleeding the system. Also tackled my king pin bearings and races. Found the problem I think :lol: pit everything back in and she's as tight as 10 lb test fishin line with a 30 lb fish on Her. Should not have any problems with wheel camber. Tonight I'm going to tackle the transfer case. Have to change out idler shaft and the gears on it. Along with re sealing it all. Hoping to close shop by midnight. Just to wake up at 6 and start it all again

Re: 1965 C20 fleet side longbed DD low budget build.
