The front edge of the hood has rust and I'll probably go ahead and pull the vent boxes off the sides of the cowl like pdxhall did in his build thread to make sure there no rust hiding in there. Other than what little rust it has, the only other "major damage" is the extra holes drilled in the doors for west coast mirrors. The guy that owned it it's whole life owned the downtown Esso station and kept it inside when they didn't had an open stall. He must have pampered it since the inside of the bed is very straight and even the inside of the tailgate only has a few small dings. My dad and some of his friends have said that they remember the truck sitting in that station since it was near their high school. It had about 85,000 miles on it when the PO took it apart.

Hopefully, you got to pay a good bit less at buying it aready taken apart. It sounds like the PO got a wild hair for a project and then lost intrest. I know its a lot easier to take one apart than redo the parts and put it back together. ![]() |

how'd you do that? I was told I'd have to start a new thread when my links broke

Well, I'm glad you got it because with your intention of making it a pro-touring rebel, and your attention to detail, it is going to be off the charts!
I read through your '55 International build thread earlier today. You really are some sort of bodyshop god from looking at the repair work and paint work that you put into that truck! I'm in awe and bowing at your altar of hammered metal! |

I stuck the tach in another tach cluster I restored to check the fit. It's perfect, and the original shift pointers fit! ![]() And I also started tearing into the cluster I'll use for the truck. This one came from a '66 parts truck I bought so it'll have the correct water temp gauge. It's also in pretty good shape so it'll turn out better than the other cluster above. ![]() ![]() ![]()

Re: Project Goldilocks, '66 C10 SWB BBW Build
I think you should do a step by step write up on the cluster for the fact section.

Re: Project Goldilocks, '66 C10 SWB BBW Build
I have 2 clusters of parts I am not going to use, so if you need anything let me know. Just dont be in a hurry, anything mailed to you may take up to 2 weeks to arrive from my location to yours.
You would be welcome to anything I have in this regards tho !!

Re: Project Goldilocks, '66 C10 SWB BBW Build
More new parts/updates. I'd been looking for a cheap used bellhousing for mock up but those don't exist. Even checked with a local junkyard that checked in their database of ~8000 other junkyards and there were only two available nationwide, one at $200 and one at $240 plus shipping. I found that Tick Performance had new Tremec bellhousings for $199 shipped so I picked one up and it came today.
A guy called today wanting to buy the spindles, brakes, and steering parts that came with the frame so I'll order the No Limit rack kit if he buys my old parts. Gotta get new urethane body and engine mounts too so I can get the engine/trans mocked up and check for floor/firewall clearance. I'm undecided on sectioning the crossmember 1.5" for more control arm clearance at ride height. I wanted to set the engine as low as possible by notching the crossmember for the oil pan but... dropping the whole truck 1.5" might be more effective at lowering the center of gravity? I doubt I can do both since the rack is mounted on the front of the crossmember. I guess I'll need all the parts in front of me to know for sure. Have I rambled enough yet? ![]() ![]() ![]()

I'm surprised it's not polished yet

Re: Project Goldilocks, '66 C10 SWB BBW Build
No polishing for this one, it'll get painted with the factory overspray pattern like I did on the blue '65.
Thanks Alan, hope to get out next show season and see your truck in the flesh. So much detail and inspiration in that build! Posted via Mobile Device

Check out our thread for pictures, we do not have the LSA pan on yet, but the measurements say it will fit without issues. We are redoing the frame mounts for the engine now, so hopefully over the Christmas holidays we can get this put back together with the new pan.

Re: Project Goldilocks, '66 C10 SWB BBW Build
Picked up my trans mount last night and the motor mount kit is on its way. I'm going to make the motor mounts tie the upper frame rail and to the crossmember like the stock mounts. I may chop up the original mounts and use the top half to hide the new mounts so it looks like a factory part.

Re: Project Goldilocks, '66 C10 SWB BBW Build
Those motor mount pieces look nice. I haven't seen a kit like that where you can locate your own mounting tabs. I went with the Dirty Dingo mounts which are basically the same idea, only the tabs are already welded and the holes are slots for motor location adaptability.

Looks like clearance would be good with the LSA pan, but I think I'm going to use a 98-02 F-body pan since I can get a trap door baffle that bolts in. http://www.improvedracing.com/oil-pa...ffle-p-30.html Quote:
I thought they were neat too. Two bolts and the engine is out. I found another similar kit that I liked but it didn't have the option to move the tabs around, and the outer tube of the bushing welded to the tabs. The ones I ordered have only a bolt going through the tabs and the outer bushing tube is removable. This was the other similar kit- outer tube welds to engine plate and isn't removable. Both are compact and simple, I didn't really like the ones with a huge rubber/urethane mount with brackets and plates everywhere. The bigger ones probably dampen engine vibration better but I'm not old enough to worry about that yet. ![]() ![]()
