My dailly driver blew a headgasket so was driving c10 as a dailly driver. Today I took it to my friend's chassis dyno and did some tuning on it. Best pull was 332hp and 360 torque at the wheels.

removed the insulation under the dash. spent 4 hours scraping most of the black goo they used to stick it down. Note to self. The insulation is not fire retardant... I got sick of scraping and was going to heat up the insulation and goo with a blow torch. Started a little fire....

[UNEASYRIDER]

Installed new bumper and grill

[wrwelton]

Well the windshield is in the truck. Had as guy come over and put it in for me. Some things are better left to the professionals. I bought a sliding window a couple of years ago ata aswap meet for the truck and went to put it in and come to find out it is for a 73 chevy. You can not trust everyone. I have seen a couple since but knew I had one already. Well the search continues. I will try to find an original aluminum one or I will buy new. Bummer. Should be starting it this week.Any one looking for a 73 aluminum slider let me know.

so are those the front from a bench seat 'burb..... or the second row seats from it or a Tahoe?

[mud.man.rj]

Finished one side of my truck and started on the other side, removed door and bottom hinge and ready to cut and lower improperly installed rocker, welded on 1" too high same as the other side. Nice install but just too high.

[KY Colonel]

Changed my oil.

Floored it and gave my stomach butterflies lol

I was told it was one of the rear seats from a burban. It was not a direct bolt in!! A couple hours worth of time but it fits pretty well. The contour of the seat matches with the 4wd and 4spd shifter, and now I gots cup holders!!

It's a much nicer ride than the factory seat too.

Got my last door (driver's side) bolted back on and adjusted, what a pain in the a$$. It's a OEM door, just not the original door. It fits pretty good, just not as good as the passenger side door which is original. I also got my air conditioning condenser mounted in the radiator support and installed new lower radiator mount brackets.

My old trusty fuel pump gave up Friday after many faithful years of reliable service. It was born in the spring of '98 on the East side of Las Vegas. It spent it's entire life dutifully working on a '69 Chevy C-10 outlasting two engines, and countless other parts, too many to mention. All was fine until that fateful day when with an enormous eruption of motor oil and gasoline that it announced it's demise. It is survived by among many other components it's closest friends, The Carburetor, and The Fuel Tank to both of which it was closely attached. There was a private service in the garage after which the remains were recycled.

Because of all of the fuel that polluted my motor oil I had to change it also. Last Fall my A/C compressor seized. Tucker Parts where I purchased the kit replaced it on the spot without any questions. I've always received great service from them. I wasn't in any hurry to install it with months of cool weather ahead, but with temperatures in the ninety's expected next week the time was ripe to put my air conditioning back together. When I was lubing the truck I found a bad outer tie rod end, and replaced it as well, and also put new bushings on my sway bar. Many of the parts I replaced nearly fifteen years ago are really starting to show their age. Some of these have a whole lot of miles on them. They don't last forever, but it all proves what an incredibly reliable truck these are.

I primed my bed in prep for paint.......





And the Easter Bunny came last night when I finished....

Took the metal bed off in prep for the wood. It looks like I've got some rust work on the cab too.

I finished up my 4 speed swap Saturday, knowing I'd have to pull the driveshaft again to replace the U joints, I had to make the rear section of the driveshaft to mate it to the 10 bolt. I spent a couple hours at the junkyard trying to find one the length I needed with no luck so some work with the grinder and chopsaw and welder and I was in business. The carrier bearing looked to be pretty decent still so wasn't too worried about it. Drove it to church yesterday morning then out to eat and to the parts store to pick up the U joints and rear brake shoes. Dropped my wife off at the grocery store and ran to get gas, that's when it happened, the carrier bearing seized and spun the rubber out of it. Limped it to home as it wasn't slapping around too much till later. Took it out and beat off the old bearing and called it a day. After my morning class today I stopped and picked up a new carrier bearing. Got in this afternoon from my bus route and got the new front U joint in and the new carrier bearing on and put in the front section of driveshaft. Hopefully tomorrow I'll get the the other two U joints in and the rear shaft back in the truck. I love the truck with the 4 speed now! Next is replacing the rear brakes. Then I'll move onto new rockers and cab corners!

Man, you make me feel like a slacker, i just took off the bed...

I got my radiator support and radiator installed today. I bought an Entropy radiator with 1.25" tubes...man, that sucker is huge. It just fit (tightly) into the 4 row core radiator brackets. My truck is starting to look like a truck again.

[wrwelton]

Battery is in, fuses are in , radiator pressure is good. Just sent out bumpers to be painted, get them back tomorrow. Start engine on friday!!! Need to install innnerfenders, bolt down seats and connect fuel line to gas tank. Ordering reese hitch today,. Still waiting for some chrome parts but it won't stop me. First car show April 22. I will be there hell or high water. Say a prayer for me.

[Redleg]

As of 4pm today she will be sold! back to the original owner! going to miss her! but hopefully something better awaits!

[Shyguy]

A local guy that restores these old trucks stopped by for a while. We went over to the shop and looked at my '67 cab on a swb '69 frame and talked about how I can fix some rust issues.

[Dunenutt]

Yesterday I took the truck for a little cruise. I quickly found out that it has become a fair weather pansy! After about 20 miles in 95* weather things got a little heated. 215 on the motor, and 210 on the trans. This simply will not fly!

I came home a little irritated, removed the grille, and installed two plate style tranny coolers.

Today, I ordered a high volume water pump, a 6 blade 19'' fan, super duty fan clutch, and a build it yourself aluminum fan shroud. I added to the order, a selection of high flow thermostats.

This truck will be able to cruise in 118* with the air on full blast! If this won't fix it, I am building a new motor, that is not .060 over!

[Tomahawk30]

Added power steering to my 70 C10. A previous owner had installed a 350 out of a van and it still had the power steering pump, so I just had to get the correct hoses and a gearbox. Picked up the gearbox over the weekend when I went to pick up a pair of CST doors that I found on Craigslist. Surprisingly easy conversion! Now I just have to figure out how to get my steering wheel to sit straight when the wheels are centered....

[Jacfourteen]

Took my truck on a cruise for the 1st time since new years. Didn't realize how much I missed cruising the old truck till I took off from a stop sign and lit up the tires in 2nd, 3rd, and 4th gear and didn't straighten out until I was doing 60 MPH.
