Donz '60 SWB Rusty Patina Slow Build...
Here we goooooo…. Truck addiction, obsession, problem, has set in according to my lovely wife...
 After dragging this one home yesterday, she asked, "What do you plan do do to this one?" My answer, I don't know yet, but once I finish the '65 I'll start on this one… That's the reason "SLOW" is in the title... For those who are familiar with my '65 short stepper build, and also for those just now finding my craziness, when I first jumped back into playing with old trucks I was originally looking at a '60 SWB a friend of mine had… While doing some internet research about those year trucks I found this little corner of the internet that has become my home away from home…  I truly value the friendships that have formed thanks to this site... I recommend this site to anyone and everyone I meet that is working on or driving the general's metal...   On to the story and the pics...  I recently started working at a local parts store as a side job.. After retiring from the USAF, I ran my own tattooing business for 20 plus years and now Tattoo by appointment only, letting my son step up and run the studio… While working the parts counter I met a guy working on a '63 C10, and during our conversation I mentioned a friend of mine was looking for a dual headlight grille… He said he had one he'd part with for $50 that included 4 new headlights… Martin declined the offer of the grille, since he's in the UK and the logistics weren't favorable. A couple of days later I went to look at the grille for my personal stash of parts… As I drove to check out the grille, my brain finally worked through the cobwebs of time and I realized I had met the guy with the grille previously… His stepdaughter had worked for me at the tattoo studio maybe 15 or so years ago… And he remembered me when I got to his place... Here's what I found when I made the short 5 mile ride to where the grille was…  IMG_6273 by Donald Olivo, on FlickrAs we discussed the grille, he offered me the truck, saying he thought it was a '61, minus the seat and tailgate for $300…He had already offered the seat and tailgate to another person… I agreed to buy and over the course of the next few weeks his son started working at the parts store with me… During our conversations at the parts store, he ended up questioning me about a tattoo he has wanted… Long story short, he's getting a tattoo and I have the truck in my stable...  I really like the barter system… He dropped buy the parts store Wednesday and said he was ready for me to get the truck, plus the seat and tailgate were staying with the truck… so yesterday I rode over and helped (watched and turned the steering wheel a little) as he winched the '60 up on the trailer…  Untitled by Donald Olivo, on FlickrTurning for the last half of the trip to my place...  Untitled by Donald Olivo, on FlickrGetting ready to back into my drive…  Untitled by Donald Olivo, on FlickrMy little dog JoJo checking out the happenings…  Untitled by Donald Olivo, on FlickrEasing it off the trailer…  Untitled by Donald Olivo, on FlickrParked and waiting…  Untitled by Donald Olivo, on FlickrCamper shell has preserved the insides of the bed, although the floor is rotted and a piece of plywood covers a majority of the bed…  Untitled by Donald Olivo, on Flickr Untitled by Donald Olivo, on Flickr Untitled by Donald Olivo, on FlickrOld School Gun Rack…  Untitled by Donald Olivo, on FlickrBasic, unmolested dash…  Untitled by Donald Olivo, on Flickr Untitled by Donald Olivo, on FlickrRockers and floors are needing some new metal…  Untitled by Donald Olivo, on Flickr Untitled by Donald Olivo, on FlickrApache badges are present on both sides…  Untitled by Donald Olivo, on FlickrBasic heater with core and fan inside cab…  Untitled by Donald Olivo, on FlickrI6 235 has been sitting in the weather sans hood and air cleaner, so I'm pretty sure the 235 is not going to turn easily...   Untitled by Donald Olivo, on FlickrThe windshield rubber id dry, cracking, and separated at the bottom…  Untitled by Donald Olivo, on FlickrDonnie, aka DWcardfan, and I traded some parts awhile back… part of the trade was a hood that I plan on cutting up for a cowl hood project… So today after work my bro-in-law and I bolted it on…  by Donald Olivo, on FlickrFound this old oil can in the passenger side cab corner…  by Donald Olivo, on Flickr…and the remains of the passenger side mirror…  by Donald Olivo, on FlickrThe only missing body parts are the hood and driver's side cowl extension… As a plan develops I will post here… as stated on my '65 thread, this truck is in the bullpen til the '65 is road-worthy… In the meantime I will be researching front suspension swaps and or mods to facilitate the addition of disc brakes and power steering… I want to keep the 6 lug setup… Thanx for looking guys...

Nice one Don,
Now leave it alone and get back to your truck (says the guy who has not touched his truck in 10 weeks.)

Re: Donz '60 SWB Rusty Patina Slow Build...
Ta2Don,
My friend recently bought a 40 truck with a 235 in it. It too was setting in the weather and had water in it. We drained and filled the oil, put WD 40 in the cylinder, new points and plugs. It started right up and ran perfect. My 62 looked much like yours when I got it and I did the same thing to it and it ran perfect. I hope you have the same luck with yours! Keep us posted on your progress.

Re: Donz '60 SWB Rusty Patina Slow Build...
Man Don. I love this truck. It would look perfect next to my burb
 I may try to swing out this weekend if you're free. Maybe Sunday. I'll hit you up on FB before hand if you're down.

Re: Donz '60 SWB Rusty Patina Slow Build...
That's awesome brotha! Little water in the cylinders adds compression.

Re: Donz '60 SWB Rusty Patina Slow Build...
Today started with an early wake-up and walking JoJo prior to an early Dr. Appointment… I took this pic and sent it to Rian…
 Untitled by Donald Olivo, on FlickrGreat news at the doc… no more walking boot...  I will be wearing an ankle brace in normal shoes for 2 weeks, then done... After getting home, I set my sights on evaluating the truck… First step, pull the plugs and see if I could spin the engine… I checked the oil which was full and looked like old oil… This was the result when I pulled plug number 6...   Untitled by Donald Olivo, on FlickrCompressed air in each cylinder revealed water in 2 and 6… after using the air, I sprayed diesel fuel in each cylinder… Letting it soak for a couple of hours I pulled the ancient battery…  Untitled by Donald Olivo, on Flickrthe date stamp is probably indicating September of '79… I deduced this due to the License plate expiring in 1982…  Untitled by Donald Olivo, on FlickrWhile my other battery charged I cleaned out the bed and the interior which revealed some interesting items… from the interior… a calendar from 1977…an ice scraper from a Mobil Service Station, and a matchbook from a local realtor…  Untitled by Donald Olivo, on FlickrNext up was a County Fair prevue paper from 1968 and the remains of a hand held fan featuring a pic and biography of Virginia Johnson who was the first woman to run for Governor of Arkansas in 1968…  Untitled by Donald Olivo, on Flickr Untitled by Donald Olivo, on FlickrI also found the remains of an Arkansas Hunting Regulations booklet for 1971 & 1972…  Untitled by Donald Olivo, on FlickrOut of the bed came an assortment of tire tools and a screw type bottle jack… A Schlitz beer box from the late 70's, a rattail file, and lots rat poop…  Untitled by Donald Olivo, on Flickr Untitled by Donald Olivo, on Flickr…and an old school bumper jack...  Untitled by Donald Olivo, on FlickrMore to come tomorrow...

Re: Donz '60 SWB Rusty Patina Slow Build...
Yesterday was tomorrow, and today is the day after tomorrow… err, my head hurts now...
more update…Here's the bed after cleaning…  Untitled by Donald Olivo, on FlickrJust a couple shots of the floor once I removed the one piece mat in numerous pieces… no longer flexible that is… Untitled by Donald Olivo, on FlickrWas jazzed to find a high hump, although the passenger side looks like this…  Untitled by Donald Olivo, on FlickrThe dealer tag matches the bumper… Shade Slentz Motors Caruthersville, MO  Untitled by Donald Olivo, on FlickrSurprisingly, this tire is still holding air 5 days after getting aired up to move… Cool but scary...  Untitled by Donald Olivo, on FlickrMonday I will see if the diesel that's soaking the cylinders has had any effect… not sure if I want to keep the 235, just curious if it will spin again... Laterz guyz...

Re: Donz '60 SWB Rusty Patina Slow Build...
I almost forget… it's been 18 days since dragging this one home...
…so far only one tire has failed to hold air, the one in the pic from the post on Dec 11th is still holding air...
