Re: Martin's mi-STRESS, 1965 Long Fleetside C10 "Rebuild in ENGLAND"
Today was a great day for me.
I spent about 5 hours over at mate Martins place today. We removed his cab, which has set me thinking that I should maybe remove mine as well, to get better access to the underside of the chassis. On removing the cab, he found a lot more rust, terrible historic patches an a load of sand inside the chassis outriggers. I will post up the pics to tell the story of getting the "special tool" in and moving the cab away. Final inspection before removing the last two chassis mounting bolts. ![]() One broke off, despite all preparation. ![]() Lifting jig fitted to three ton hoist. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() AND THIS IS HOW IT WAS DONE: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lxcu...lt8TvG8KEwT5Kg IMPRESSIVE STUFF, AND RESULT. ![]() ![]() Next up we parked the cab out the way, the trolley needs another 24 inches of height, which will happen later. ![]() Farmer Brown........ ![]() Lastly Martin removed the welded on front bumper and the truck was put back into its tight spot. ![]() That was it for this weekend. As we go on working together, I am learning more and more.
