Re: Cecil the 1953 5 window / S-10 / 5.7 TPI
Thanks guys for all the comments. I agree THilde Cecil is too nice for that neighborhood.
On a different note I drove home another one. Not sure if I am gonna keep him or flip him though. I want a SWB but this old truck is pretty solid, typical rust on the lower doors and behind the wheel wells. The 283 runs great and it has a factory 2 speed powerglide. Love the color and Patina. Its bagged but the c-notches I don't really trust.

Re: Cecil the 1953 5 window / S-10 / 5.7 TPI
Chris' wife posted this on his Facebook page yesterday:
"Chris had surgery today and he did well. They did a trac and cleaned up some of his burn areas. He is doing well this evening other than a slight fever." Chris loves working on these trucks, when he was building my truck it was hard to tell who was more excited, me or him. Chris was always the first to offer any advice to the forum members here. Pleasde help him and his family via the GoFundMe campaign that I set up to help Chris (AKA SKYMANGS, Ole Sarge) and his family with any medical expenses. Here is the link to the campaign http://www.gofundme.com/c49h5mjx8

Re: Cecil the 1953 5 window / S-10 / 5.7 TPI
Quick update. Chris and I finally able to get 99% of Cecil's Engine problems fixed. In fact Old "Cecil" is laying 20x10 rubber stripes and rolling smoke out under the fenders. Seems that Larry's sold me a MEMCAL for V6 not V8. Pretty pissed about that, Chris spent hours working on this engine and simple chip cured almost all the issues. Had some overheating issues and looks like we had more Dirt Dobbers nest in the bottom of the engine that was keeping the water from properly circulating in the block, couple or three radiator flushes have cured most of those issues.
Side note I found a cool app called Portrait Painter that makes photos look like they are paintings.

Re: Cecil the 1953 5 window / S-10 / 5.7 TPI
Glad to hear you've got things ironed out with the engine ... I'd b miffed too if someone sold me a V6 chip/programmer when I asked/ordered it for a V8. It's no wonder Chris was chasing his backside for a while ...
Hopefully you'll get all the bugs out & drive the wheels off that truck. As for the "app" I'm so computerized that I could actually figure that out to do. R46 |

Re: Cecil the 1953 5 window / S-10 / 5.7 TPI
Just a little update/project over the weekend. I took these old bed strips out of the 65 C-10 I bought (and sold) recently. I cut them down to fit Cecil and installed them over the old barnwood, to give his bed a little more "authentic" look. Here is the before and after.

Re: Cecil the 1953 5 window / S-10 / 5.7 TPI
Thank you! Cecil has special cab mounts. They are only 2.25" off the frame. If you are using my version 1 brackets then the bed should rest on the square tube.
Cecil was a "special needs" kid.... LMAO!
