Martin's mi-STRESS, 1965 Long Fleetside C10 "Rebuild in ENGLAND"

[mjh1965]

Today started early , I need to use my next door neighbours trailer , unfortunately he had loaded the trailer with some old furniture that he was getting rid of . So after breaking up the furniture I put it in the back of my car and took it to the local tip , it's easier than taking the trailer there . So once that was done I went over to Rian's friend Kevins , to collect some paving slabs for my garden project . After all this running around it was lunch time .

Then the proper work started . TRUCK TIME ...........

First I pushed it out of the garage (these new wheels are great on the trolley thanks Rian)




The first job was to remove the old sound deadening pads



Wow it's amazing the difference between two cabs of the same age .

All the sound deadening pads removed



Next job was to remove the old dash . The radio was fitted by a blind man with a chainsaw I think




Dash all removed



New dash in place that I removed from my old cab



After that job was done I filled in the gas filler hole .







Next job will be to fill in the hole in the transmission hump , and then remove and clean up the brackets for the gas tank .

It's great to be working back on the truck , and not a bad afternoons work .
