Re: 1966 C10 Project Truck
Got a bunch more progress made over the weekend. I'm starting to realize I more than likely won't have it fully ready to go for the show on the 11th but I should be able to drive it on and off the trailer so that's ok. Not for lack of trying, it's just how it goes.
My buddy came over Saturday night and we plumbed the brake lines and the fuel line from the pump to the carb.    Sunday morning, I tore right into it and removed the factory radiator mounts. The radiator I picked up needed a 3" rise to get the height I needed, it'll work great     While I was fabbing up my riser, dad showed up and got to work on my tranny cross member. We had to slot the holes so the output could be pushed to the driver's side a little more. Once that was taken care of, I clearanced the frame a bit for my steering shaft for the rack. Way better now.  Rear sway bar going on  One thing that I knew was going to hold this whole show up was the accessory drives. I have been struggling to find the right water pump pulley and also the brackets that will bolt the power steering pump to the engine bracket. I found those things last night! Cost a bit more than I'd like but they are what I needed so it's not too bad.  More work will continue this week and into the weekend! |

 Got the rear sway bar on last night and started mocking the engine stuff up. It's starting to look like something   I ordered a turnbuckle so I can tension the power steering belt, I should have that tomorrow night. I may make a bracket that bolts to the pump for the turnbuckle but I'm not sure yet. Gotta see how it all lines up first.    Not sure if I'm digging the chrome bracket or not, I'll have to see how long before it bugs me and I paint it black

Re: 1966 C10 Project Truck
Looking exceptionally good.
I have radiator envy.

The radiator was surprisingly cheap, just a bit over $200. It's from Northern and is P/N 209676 for those that might be interested. The factory upper hose works pretty well but the lower does not, easy fix though

Re: 1966 C10 Project Truck
My parents stopped by last night to drop off my early birthday present for the 66! My birthday is on Monday but they will be out of town visiting with my brother and his wife in Denver this weekend so they surprised me with a visit and truck parts
