Well the 72 is now at our new house at the farm. I took tons of pics. Inluding pics of the SPID of the tow rig and finally one of our 72. I didnt know that the C-70's had 2 SPID's.

Here are all the pics.

Well I'll post em when photobucket is fixed.

The SPID is a break out of all the codes from the factory, and can be found on the inside of the glove box lid. It will tell you what was added on from the factory, tilt, cst, cheyenne,.... Kind of like the window sticker in today's vehicles.

Service Parts Identification

No, I don't type that slow...........I was answering an Email. LOL

Longhorn Man · 09-21-2008, 09:59 AM

SPID
Service Parts IDentification.
GM uses them to this day, stuck somewhere on the car. But now it's all in code.
If the SPID gets full of options, then the assembly line was directed to add the remaining options on one half of the second spid, and then cut it in half.
I'm interested to see what you got there Brad.

Hopefully Photobucket works now.

The C-70

We had no idea that the tail shaft was out. We knew the drive shaft was, so now we have to find a tail shaft.

Got better shots of the rust we have.

thirdstreettito · 09-21-2008, 11:05 AM

More pics

SPID's of C-70 (Had to make sure I got it.

And I finally got a SPID of our truck.

thirdstreettito · 09-21-2008, 11:10 AM

More pics

Thats our new house in the back. And a sheep field on the right.

Horrible horrible fender rust.

All the next part was not my idea. I told my dad we shouldnt do it. Oh well.

thirdstreettito · 09-21-2008, 11:15 AM

More

Was this an ok spot for the winch hook? It didnt break or bend so I'm guessing yes.

Heres the horrible idea.

Longhorn Man · 09-21-2008, 11:32 AM

ummmm, I think you placed the blocks under the wrong end there.

How are we gonna get it down?

90\87Formula · 09-21-2008, 11:08 PM

Put some jackstands under it and then lower them a notch or two at a time.

Oooooh I got a bad feeling bout this...

skchevota · 09-21-2008, 11:47 PM

Just an FYI
NEVER..EVER get under a truck on cinder blocks,bricks, or any thing of the sort. They can crumble with out notice and drop the vehical on you.
I am gussing that they are there for unloading purposes, but i thought i would just say it just in case.

corn · 09-21-2008, 11:48 PM

Whatever you do please do not crawl under that truck!...

67ChevyRedneck · 09-22-2008, 10:57 AM

It always feels good to get one home, doesn't it?

I see the SPID says 127" wheelbase (I always have a hard time telling swb from lwb in pics w/ no bed on) so it's a longbed, most likely a fleet? Do you have a bed for it, or is that all there is?

PLEASE get it down off those blocks! If you have a Northern Tool nearby, they have some pretty nice jack stands for $19.99 for the pair. I got 4 of the double locking ones ($24.99/pr) for around $54 or so w/ tax. Also be careful using jack stands on dirt. I set the feet on some short 2x4's, 2x6, etc, just to keep the feet from sinking.

68shortstep · 09-22-2008, 12:32 PM

Everybody is allowed one "fatal mistake" ---- sometimes if you're lucky, you get to have more than one.

Don't make crawling under that truck on concrete blocks become yours.

Ps: mine wasn't that, but I've got a pretty good limp from what was (one of) mine.

Made me a LOT more careful.

thirdstreettito · 09-22-2008, 09:50 PM

Yeah, dont plan on me getting under it.

We will put a block under our jack, lower it on the single blocks. Then jack it up with out the block, then on the ground.

It is a longfleet. I have a build thread on it. "72' O'Blue"

We will most likely take it down tomorrow, because it is gonna rain. It'll fall if it rains.

The bed will either be replaced or fixed.

thirdstreettito · 09-26-2008, 09:03 PM

We got the truck down yesterday! Easy as pie and now it's safe to work on.
