1970 Chevy C10 shortbed
I recently began the project of restoring my fathers 1970 C10. I'm pulling the inline 6 original engine this weekend. Any ideas or suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

Re: 1970 Chevy C10 shortbed
First welcome to the forum from West Texas , just undo all the wires connected to the motor , trans bolts x 6 , put a jack under the trans to hold it up while you pull the motor , battery cables ,all water hoses , motor mounts , exhaust pipe . pull the radiator ,pull the hood off . disconnect the gas pedal rod. clutch rods on the driver side if it has a clutch. get your host or cherry picker and chain to the motor front and back and try and keep it fairly level , pull it to the front and up as you go . try and get a friend to help, makes it a lot easier......Good Luck ...Don

Re: 1970 Chevy C10 shortbed
Welcome to the forum! My truck started out as a six, but no longer. Check out my build thread and others and I'm sure you'll get some great ideas.

Re: 1970 Chevy C10 shortbed
Howdy from East Texas!
If your memory is anything like mine, I suggest; 1- take a ton of before and during pics. 2- make note or mark things like motor mount, hood hinge position 3- painters tape and sharpie to label EVERY wire etc. 4- small boxes or ziplock bags to separate and label EVERY bolt, bracket etc. 5- take your time! 6- if your not sure about anything, post it here. Plenty of good folks here that are more than willing to help! Good luck!

Re: 1970 Chevy C10 shortbed
And keep your hands clear of pinch zones. Man that hurts bad! Don't trust your hoist more than you should either.
