Pulled the pitman arm off the '54. No wonder the steering was soo bad. Must be a lot of grease mites in my garage

Re: What did you do with your truck today, Part 3
New to the board..... been a long-time reader. Been building rigs for years and decided to follow in the s10 postings and throw one together....this is old crusty, pulled from a farmer's field last fall. Mounted on a 94 s10 frame, 350 with 700r4 .... drop spindles and a flip kit in the rear...

Re: What did you do with your truck today, Part 3
thank you,, glad to be here... and yes, there is some 51 parts on it.... not from area 51...however, my wife of 30 years is seeming to be more out-of-this world lately...the 51 actually is my racing number,, i have had it on street stocks, late models, legends, go karts and snowmobiles..
i have several projects.. old crusty is actually a 53 cab.. and i have a 55 big window also, it sits on a camaro clip and a 10bolt nova rear end, it has a nasty 350 and is nothing but trouble every time it goes out.... and i have been working on a 41 ratrod truck for a couple years as time allows. |

Re: What did you do with your truck today, Part 3
I installed a 160 thermostat in my truck to see if it would run a little cooler so the electric fan won't come on at normal cruising speeds. After a 10 mile test loop it seems to be working. Now the fan comes on while sitting at a light or at low speed where air flow across the core is too low. I find it odd that the 180 thermostat I took out ran rock steady at about 195 and the new NAPA "premium" 160 runs about 185 (confirmed with a thermometer). why do you suppose the operating temp exceeds the rating on both thermostats?

Re: What did you do with your truck today, Part 3
I took a project for work in Wisconsin for 2 or 3 months. I brought some parts to polish and get machined with me. Have to make some truck money for a while.

Re: What did you do with your truck today, Part 3
I know it is a little frustrating watching someone else put their truck together, but after almost 4 years of working on it, mostly by myself, I want to share!!!
Got the grill in! Got some minor adjusting still to do on the front end, but it looks like a truck again!!! |

Re: What did you do with your truck today, Part 3
I got my gas tank in, but then it's not quite right. I think I figured it out on my evening walk, I'll finish it up tomorrow I hope.

Re: What did you do with your truck today, Part 3
got some ground straps on but it looks like the issue is my starter. im trying to decide if I should go with a mini starter for room or replace what I have. aiming for this weekend so need to make up my mind.

Re: What did you do with your truck today, Part 3
Got home from work and took a couple pics of the seats and engine of crusty.... I took the headrests off because I didnt want the tall seats in there... the center console is out of a late model cherokee.... it all fits nicely with a couple inches between the side of the seats and the doors and I have a little storage in the middle and most importantly,... cup holders!!

Re: What did you do with your truck today, Part 3
Nice job on the floor too.
Like you, I thought high-back seats looked inappropriate in my '60's styled resto-mod truck. You wouldn't happen to know a guy in your area last name Peek would you?
