Re: Project "My Happy Mess"
Here's a list of things I can manage to read. In no order.
1991 - Sherbring Chevrolet Co., Ogden, IA Explains the professional work - a dealership in rural IA. The 1991 previous owner, who installed the crate engine owned a car lot, or worked for this dealership. He also stole the original engine out of it. He told me during the telephone conversation. Now that I look at the papers, I guess it says. Where they installed the "Goodwrench". He must have known that the block was high quality (original 71'), and he said it had low miles. To the best of my knowledge, this isn't who did the C10 conversion. C10 conversion predates these items. The PO in 1991 below said he bought the truck already converted. But that doesn't mean it wasn't converted professionally by the dealership listed below - since they were all (farmers/neighbors prob.) rural residents who previously owned this truck. 01) Replaced 2 motor mounts 02) Replaced front shocks (my rear shocks were original spirals ) 03) Replaced 2 valve cover gaskets 04) Changed trans filter & pan gasket 05) Replaced RH Lower Ball Joint (the LH failed on me ) 06) Replaced Shaft Assy / Support (RH) Upper ?? 07) Repack front wheel bearings 08) Lubrication 09) Replaced master cylinder assy 10) Replaced choke pull off 11) Some sort of Carb assy (no chg) 12) Replaced trans mount (no chg) 13) ?? Removed Engine and replaced with Goodwrench 14) Welding on exhaust system 15) Rebuild RH front brake caliper 16) Rebuild LH front brake caliper 1992 - Sherbring Chevrolet Co., Ogden, IA - New owner 01) Lubrication 02) Replaced Diff Cover plate gasket 03) Remove & Replace cylinder for repair (?? brake) 04) Replaced battery Looks like the new owner in 1992 had to get the little things done the PO didn't do. I might have a few more receipts I'll look at. Don't think the POers used this truck as "projects", they just kept it up dated and took good care of it. Until the PO horse ranch girl took possession (after 92') and neglected it. That's when I saw it and convinced her to sell it to me (cheap at the time).
