Filled the steering wheel cracks and painted it. Also finished the new floor mat install last night. Can't wait to get things back together.

Thanks. Got the vinyl floor through Classic Industries, it is heavy duty.

Checked for oil leaks, found at least one. Made arrangements for a rebuild, replaced lens cover screws for tail lights, cleaned the bulbs and inside, lens, fit a bulb in the license plate socket, too big but worked. Need a smaller one, any one know the number?

Mathew21 · 06-17-2014, 03:01 PM

Finished up the the rear end and 700r4 swap this pass weekend. I also installed lower springs. I'm hoping the next weekend I have off work I can tackle the later model C10 front end suspension swap.

Worked on make my 65 a short bed...should have her done by next week...

glos55 · 06-19-2014, 01:07 PM

Washed it with Comet Cleanser

**jayoldschool** · 06-19-2014, 03:10 PM

Put my hubcaps on and stared at it for awhile as the sun started to set...

crowdaddy · 06-19-2014, 07:42 PM

Pulled the front left rim off the headlight. Cut some slip washers for the square rim. Drained a quart from my engine, added a quart of MMO, drove it around the woods smokin like a chimney. Drained it out, wow mud. Black oil, still looks dirty, just changed it two weeks ago, drove less than 5 miles. Sat for 12, maybe more, years.

I love this truck.

Lowl!f3 · 06-19-2014, 10:00 PM

Started pancake on the crossmember.

donthekawguy · 06-19-2014, 10:09 PM

Got the power steering box mounted, welded the cracks in the frame, UCA mounted.

if its all original and untouched that truck will be a show stopper even with the dirt, that is "real" barnyard dirt=$$$$. engine bay interior,etc we could use it as a template for correct placement of stuff. let me guess 64C10 step sbw and umm L6 3speed...

crowdaddy · 06-20-2014, 10:45 AM

Pimpston, It's been in the family since 1964. Two owners, same family. Painted once, very close to original paint color. Not for sale, sorry, but thank you for asking. She is a smoker, rings, and valves maybe. I'm still cleaning the engine out. I will get some more pics soon. She is a keeper. The engine is scheduled for a rebuild July 1st. 230, L6 3speed, c-10 step short, metal bed over wood.

very nice, now for pics...

65Gregg · 06-21-2014, 01:11 PM

I pulled the windshield to replace it and was extremely happy with what i found under the OEM gasket, NO RUST!! Since it's out the dash is going to get a quicky paint job, the rest of the interior can wait for now.

mjh1965 · 06-21-2014, 03:04 PM

I started mocking up my engine ready for the install will need to sort out engine mounts as it's a 307 from a Chevy caprice with a th350

Hi I got a delivery today one box arrived from the states. It had my cab floor supports . The inner and outer rockers are to follow

And even better I got my tickets for my holiday ( vacation) to Florida so big cases at the ready for a shopping list , as I am going to be in Florida in October and the NSRA Southeast Street Rod Nationals in Tampa are on . Has any body been and is there many stalls to get parts

sure PM me!!! just kiddin, post in WTB there was a member that was gonna sell me the same piece, but i found these on a roadtrip pick...

**Captainfab** · 06-22-2014, 01:11 AM

It looks like you have an Oldsmobile 307. You might have to fabricate something for the engine mounts. If it was a Chevy 307 it would be simple.

cab_01 · 06-22-2014, 11:10 AM

Hooked up the Loker shifter linkage. Test fitted the headers so i can get them ceramic coated. Put insulation around gas tank area in the cab so I can fab some speaker mounts.

Today I will test fit the seats and put the insulation in or go to the gym, then watch the nascar race and the the USA world cup game. Decisions decisions.
