No it is the standard hump in the floor. It's hitting the flange seam where the firewall and floor meet. Just going to lower it 1/4" to 1/2".

Glad the core is fixed and that rear end looks slick!

C10_ustacould · 01-05-2013, 08:18 PM

Well, the heater core is installed, but I haven't leak checked it yet. Fingers crossed...

**lolife99** · 01-05-2013, 09:10 PM

The high hump gives you a ton of room.
Just thought it might fix your issues,... if you already have the trans angles set.

jmedero · 01-05-2013, 09:52 PM

Ill be right over with the sawzall and welder....

Oh, there is no doubt that it will stay a stepside.

It is Hart_Rod who is swapping his son's truck to a fleet.

72BlckButy · 01-06-2013, 02:36 PM

To many green steppers around here... sheesh! Either that or I need to be on the board more often. Ha!

Yes, there are quite a few hot trux, Hart_Rod, and mine to name a few...

C10_ustacould · 01-09-2013, 04:07 PM

I feel ashamed... I had to take my truck to the exhaust shop because I couldn't get the header collectors to stop leaking. What was the cause? LAZINESS! I didn't clean the flanges well enough and some old gasket material was stopping the new aluminum gaskets from sealing. Aside from that embarassment the truck is back in good shape. The carquest heater core is working well with no leaks. I was able to lower the transmission mount half an inch to get the transmission off of the body and the tail shaft is only 2.5° tail low (was 5°). I also had the drive shaft balanced. There is less vibration, but I think it can be better. For now I'm gonna drive it.

Are you about ready?

Portmod7 · 01-09-2013, 04:18 PM

PAST ready! HOPEFULLY, fingers crossed, I'll get her on the ground this weekend. The wife works all weekend, so I have two FULL days to work. But it's also supposed to snow, so that might put a damper on any driving dreams this weekend...

C10_ustacould · 01-09-2013, 04:25 PM

I will keep my fingers crossed too!

Xeen · 01-09-2013, 04:53 PM

It seems like everyone has vibration problems with these old trucks.
I'm not really looking forward to chasing the vibration down once mine is driving again but I know I wont be happy untill it's near perfect...sigh

cubber · 01-11-2013, 10:53 PM

I like the color of your truck. Mine, a 69, was the same color at birth, but was repainted with the thickest, hardest purple paint I have ever seen. I tried to sand down to the original, but it was too thin. Glad yours made it!

Thanks, I like it too!

C10_ustacould · 01-17-2013, 10:24 PM

I want one of these Porterbuilt coil over drop member kits... but the trailing arm version of course.

Portmod7 · 01-17-2013, 11:08 PM

Yeah, I could definitely support that decision!
