Re: What did you do to your truck today part II.
During my lunch break I finished installing the lowering blocks. Also replaced two control arm studs on driver side. I was surprised how easy it was. A couple hits with the sledge hammer and they were out. Waiting to get out of work so that i can test drive.

Re: What did you do to your truck today part II.
Towing a fellow members truck to my garage to yank out his 283 and powerglide trans, his has cracked heads and a lot 9 rework to be done. Had to pull into a parking lot to let his breaks cool down and the bike belongs to a buddy I work with on my ship.

Re: What did you do to your truck today part II.
you can really tell the size difference, the black one looks like a small child next to the grown up green one, but still two great trucks

Re: What did you do to your truck today part II.
Started to weld up the new (under bed) gas tank this weekend.
Bent the stainless steel sheets at work. Drilled the hole for the old tank sender, the plan is to reuse it from old tank.

Re: What did you do to your truck today part II.
I have really good compression in all cylinders but 3 & 5 so I tore my motor apart ( while in the truck) and pulled the 2 bad pistons. The motor is really clean and looks new so I'm gonna get new pistons and rings and hopefully be back on the road.

Re: What did you do to your truck today part II.
Funny thing is is that black 65 is heavily optioned truck. Just finished yanking the trans and engine out today. I'll let ILH1992 describe it. It's his truck and he's down the road from my place. He's got some good plans for it. Keep it stock because it's been in Everett , WA it's entire life.

Anyways my truck is a '65 c10. Custom cab with original 283 with powerglide an 12bolt rear. She's original minus the fact its black now but at one point was originally 2tone grey an white. Has the big back window, original radio, deluxe steering wheel an dealer installed AC, power steering an lots other stuff I can't remember. Its been in this area or really Everett, Wa its whole life. Apparently the previous owner who I bought it from remembers seeing this EXACT truck rolling around Everett back in 1975-1976 when he was in high school an I guess knew the guy who owned it back then. So that's saying something its been here since day one. Plans now are to swap in a warmed over 350 with a TH350 trans. Getting rid of the powerglide an don't know what to do with it. Gonna rebuild the original 283 later so. Just fix the rust in the kick panels an some in the floor an re-do the seam sealer caulking in the roof ASAP to prevent rust. |

Re: What did you do to your truck today part II.
Bought a set of 6 lug rally wheels for our truck ($80). Going to get them sand blasted and then paint them same color as truck. Going to store the old wheels and hub caps.
