Re: Project Vitamin C-10
$hit happens Alan. I just had a couple of bad days too. Like one foot forward, and two backwards. Hang in there, and keep focused.

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
Alan, if your having trouble with your gages, check the ground.. Don't use the same ground for the gages as the dash lights.. if you do it will be gounding the gages through the lights and give you all kinds of fits.. Run separte grounds for the lights and and gages. All gages can be grounded together and all the lights can be grounded together but run separate lines to a body ground or the gages will act up.. You can even use the same ground point on the body but use separte lines for each circuit to the ground point.. It seems like you can ground them together but you can't.
Diode in the alt circuit is shut down the elecrtic out of the alterntor so the engine will not run after shutting off the key.. |

![]() That's some good info on the grounds. Mine are all dedicated on their own circuit. I fit the fenders before and you would think it would be a snap to put them back on. I was wrong. The passenger side took me a while, and I'm still not happy. The drivers went on fairly easy. I oiled the repop latch and it's working now on the the drivers door.

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
WOW, that truck is looking good to me also. You got me wondering now if I should not put the chrome trim on the side of my truck. Really really nice truck. I love those rally wheels also. Cant wait to see the hood on it also.

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
Oh OK, I didnt know you were putting the trim on the side. How are you going to drill all the holes for the trim. Does anyone have a template to show where the holes go or you going to measure and start drilling??

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
I do so love your dash and if I ever do another pu I will be coping big time,, hope you don't mind.
Well I know what you mean about being color blind, when I wired the 57 I had the headliights wired backward and when you put on the four way flasher the dash lights blinked.. Almost fell out ot the truck I laughed so hard... Took me a while to figure out what I'd done wrong.. Three weeks of looking and 5 miminutes to fix.. |

![]() Drove it again today, but it wasn't warmed all the way up. It did run better. I feel like if I stomped on it, it would have back fired thru the carb. No proof to that. The total advance with vac adv disc is 36* with about 14* base and 56* total with everything hooked up. I took some better pics today so I can send to Mar-k, for customer rides. i found one that turned out really nice. EDIT: It looks better in a bigger pic.

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
Alan,
I first read Ronnie’s build seeing he is from my home town and soon discovered I have been to his shop while it was being built. That got me interested in your build so I have spent much time over the last 3 weeks reading about the journey with your truck. While it has had its ups and downs it has given us all a window into your life and your build, it has also put into perspective what it takes to truly build a show quality truck. I am just beginning my build and you have made me back up and really think this build through. I do not have the resources that you have at my disposal. I have most of the tools at home and most of the skills but for sure time money and resources will drag my build out even longer than yours. So I am reevaluating my options, thanks for the window into your build and the insight into planning a realistic build for myself. I pass through north GA every other week heading back to work in Lexington KY and would love to drop by and see your work in person. I am really enjoying this web site and will try to make the next event to meet some of the members, keep up the great work and maybe we will meet soon. ![]()

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
When it comes up, there is no : after the http. If you put that in it works, so you may need to remake the link, or add the : into it there.
Truck is looking GREAT Alan!! Keep up the good work! ![]() |
