And even more. Can't just hit the rust, you've got to attack where it started.

Re: The MONEY PIT

Awesome.....way to jump in with both feet. These trucks are beautiful in their simplicity.

I recommend the 700r4 if youre planning on doing major cruising.

Re: The MONEY PIT

I'm glad drogers is taking pictures of his floorboard repair. My '66 is in need of that transplant of good metal for the bad, rusty stuff it currently has. The funny thing about my owning this 1966 C-10 LWB is if I can get the cab weather -tight, then my wife will consider driving it. She really doesn't like seeing the asphalt pass under her feet when driving it. I had that same problem with a 1978 Ford Courier way back in a previous marriage. The trucks have always been "mine."

Are those panels for the sills and floor available? I haven't found a good source for those types of parts, and if any online sources around, I would like to know who they are.

There are many places to get body patch panels. I would first suggest checking with some of the vendors here on the board such as Tri-pro Automotive, MBGMike, and GMC Pauls. Here are a couple of websites to check out....

Re: The MONEY PIT

Well it's been a while. I got her running a few weeks ago but have been chasing issues ever since.

This is what I have posted over in the engine section.

Any guesses on what is making the clapping/clicking noise, please don't say rocker. This is a rebuilt 350, hedman header, edelbrock 1406. I thought maybe it was a leak at the headers but after replacing the gasket it's still there. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.


BTW it's only on the pass side.

Sounds like the headers on my Ford. Maybe get some dish soap and squirt it around the headers and see if it makes bubbles. Just a thought? Hope it's headers. I never could get mine to stop making the noise. Thats been years now.
