Re: What did you do to your truck today!

Exhaust mock up. I really do not like the ball and socket flange. The plan was to do the exhaust with out welding.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!

Pulled the grill off for paint and decided to do something a little different (also a good excuse to paint that rusty center support), giving flat black a try. I'll get it on tomorrow to see if I like it, or just gave myself something to do next weekend??

I used a ECE 4.5/6 & after reading a bunch of posts on this site It went on easy as pie. I think the hardest thing was the first rivet on the shock brackets that had to come out.......Even cooler went with my son on a truck hunt and he came home with a 69 c10 that even had the original manual and protecto plate in the glove box.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!

I got my new door handles installed. It was a very simple job other than having to drill out 3 screws on my drivers door panel.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!

Yesterday I took out my old carrier bearing crossmember, and put in the "new" one on my C-30.

Today, I found an original tach dash at a yard sale for $40!

Re: What did you do to your truck today!

This weekend i installed exhaust manifolds, hooked up exhaust pipes. Installed starter and wired starter and new mallory distributor and coil. finished hooking up brake lines and installing new master cyllinder. Talked to a friend and decided to go with a later alternator with the voltage regulator within. We are thinking about a 1978 or 80 alternator should do it. The rear drive shaft was installed and now I am waiting for a delivery from LMC to finish cab and exterior lights. I purchased a nos rubber mat on ebay a while ago and come to find out it is a low hump mat and I need a high hump floor mat. I will need to sell the one I sold. Sorry for running on, but much was done and I will post pictures soon.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!

Working on a budget... Was able to save the drivers inner fender and support by cutting out the rust and fabbing in some metal. Started on the rear wheel also with help from a donor. Thought it turned out ok considering. Saved some cash too..

Thumbs up Re: What did you do to your truck today!

Made some more progress on my 200-4r install today.
Would of finished and started Pressure testing, but I found that my "new" drive-shaft is 1" to short.
Sure it would move the truck, but the slip yoke is out 1.5" and I'm not willing to take any chances.
So I will dop it off to get re-tubed & balanced tomorrow.
Current drive shaft length 60" need to be 61". (this is just the shaft not including the slip yoke.)

This is what I DID get done today.

Finished plumbing cooling lines

Installed the TV made EZ kit

Installed the brake pedal lock up release switch

Installed and calibrated the Trans dipstick tube

Installed and calibrated custom shift linkage

Installed the trans temp gauge.


Full details will be in my Photo build thread

Photo Build Thread - Page 2

Sneak peak images....










It was a productive day.......

Re: What did you do to your truck today!


Finally painted my kick panels and speaker grills.. Hopefully I'll install them next week after I install another amp

Also washed both of the garage tenants and put them away.. We have a storm coming and the neighbors were looking at me weird because as I was drying them it started to sprinkle
