My 64 C-10 fleetside shortbed build

LOL, Nah my arms and shoulders feel pretty good compared to blocking that body filler. I blocked it first with 180 grit and then the 360 grit. I only have a couple small spots that need another coat. Im pretty happy with it. Flips what are you going to paint the inside floor of your cab with??

[flips72]

i like the lizard skin, but was researching the paint and body section and found u-pol raptor bed liner material 109.00 with free shipping and i had often said i would to take the cab and have the underside done with linex, might go this way and just paint the inside and use the jute backing fire wall pad with some dynamat then carpet. ithink the bed liner material which is tintable would look good and be tough. what do you think?

I saw new ones for sale somewhere. I'll try to locate where it was.

My right front spring was like that on my Suburban...

[McMurphy]

Yep ..... spring in two pieces = broken.
You called that one right !



Sorry just a little teasing there

I cannot wait to get my home shop built so I can start getting stuff like solvent bin and blast cabinet made too... I am sooo envious!

[allaboutchevelles]

I just ordered some new 3 inch drop springs from cpp. Now I have to replace the A arm ball joint. How hard are these things to press out?? Anyone check carquest or napa for new ball joints. Wheres the best place to buy them?

[c.brown]

truck is looking good,your blasting cabinet was creative

[allaboutchevelles]

Thanks C. Brown. It works pretty good and was cheap to build and fun.

I Supported the bottom a arm on a 6 inch peice of c channel and a dozen pops with the sledge hammer and the ball joint fell out. I called around and carquest and napa has the replacement ball joints for 25$ each. Now I have to tear the other side apart.

i agree with mcmurphy, i think it was aggie91, that used braided lines! another option put the inner fender on and run the lines against the inner fender to the frame! i going to look into the braided lines on my truck since thats what i'll be using for the hydro boost hoses, radiator hoses

[allaboutchevelles]

Thats why I like to test fit everything thats modified. On the new lines I moved them back or toward the driver side about 2 1/2 inches. Im not worried about the dip stick as long as I can get it in and out and its not touching the brake lines. I was more worried about the lines being next to the manifold and getting hot. The lines are pretty much kinda in the factory place now, well as much as they can be I guess.

[flips72]

lines look great, booster and master cyl. look kinda familar, lol. glad to see you able to get back in the shop . post some of the pics of the crappie you and your daughters have been catching, awesome memories your making

[allaboutchevelles]

Me and my daughters went out 4 wheeler riding a few weeks ago and came across an old dump site from years ago. We had to stop and look. Check out what I found. Im guessing its from the late 50s???? anyone seen this before????

[flips72]

any updates? man your going to have to lay the fishing pole down and get to work

[likaroc13]

glad to see you back working on it! have you tried 0000 steel wool (or similar stuff) on the shifter? it might take a good bit of the rusty spots off, but you may want new anyway

I finally got some time to work on the truck in the past few weeks. I picked up a new sony radio for my truck. The dash was already hacked up around the radio area so im going to install a modern radio. I got the radio sleve fitted into the dash so now I can finish the bodywork on the dash and get it ready for paint.

[allaboutchevelles]

This past week I got my bed tore apart and ready to go to the blaster. Im hoping to get it down to the guy sometime this coming week.

[flips72]

nice work on the dash, and i am super envious of those bedsides...sweeeettt.

[williamsboys]

Dang nice buy. I go craigslisting all the time but don't find much around here.
