Re: Project "Redemption" 68 SWB Fleetside
I used my 140 to weld in my steering notches and rear bag mounts to the axles.

Re: Project "Redemption" 68 SWB Fleetside
It's definitely the way to go!!! It's not a bad job to do your self. If you were closer I would give you a hand with it.

Re: Project "Redemption" 68 SWB Fleetside
Hi Keith wanted to find out what paint you used on the motor and what process you used. I have a lq4 I'm putting in my 71 c10.

Re: Project "Redemption" 68 SWB Fleetside
I cleaned the block using Gunk engine cleaner and a lot of elbow grease. After that I took a wire wheel to the block and cleaned off any surface rust and flaking paint. I then painted the block with KBS Coating Rust Seal since it withstands high heat and seals the block up from further rust. I went over the entire motor, heads and all with KBS's Fusion Etching Primer and then top coated it with their Motor Coater Chevy Orange. I'm really happy with how it turned out.

Re: Project "Redemption" 68 SWB Fleetside
Progress has been slow lately, I've been pretty busy with some other things! I dropped my rear off to get rebuilt with a Eaton posi and some new 3.73 gears. While I'm waiting to get my rear back, I managed to get my Boyd's welding tank installed today!

Re: Project "Redemption" 68 SWB Fleetside
Man you aren't pulling any punches this old pickup is getting some top quality parts.
I can't wait for the cab repair it's my favorite part of the restoration process. |

Re: Project "Redemption" 68 SWB Fleetside
Been awhile since I checked this thread. Still moving right along. Is the rear dropmember a 4 link with panhard bar?

Re: Project "Redemption" 68 SWB Fleetside
Still moving faster than me
![]() I went with the Hobart 210MVP myself. Couldn't justify the additional cost of the Miller 211 for what I'm using it for. But I did really want the dual voltage just for the option of 220 if I need it.
