Re: Al's 71C10 Rebuild
Al, truck looks great! I know you paid someone not too long ago to apply the chevrolet decals on your tailgate, but imo installing a tailgate molding as the one that truck on ebay has would definetely make your truck's rear look a lot better, check it out....

Re: Al's 71C10 Rebuild
Juanito, I never thought about adding that molding in fact I did not even think I could use it but thats a thought I will have to look into it. My friend installed the letters for free and the letters cost me 7.00 so not a big lost if I take them off.

Re: Al's 71C10 Rebuild
You don't even need to take them off. Just cover them up. I prefer the tailgate moulding too.

you guys have me thinking about it and I never really paid attention to it but I just may have to order the molding with the clips. I wonder if someone has picts of the install how many holes have to be drilled.

Re: Al's 71C10 Rebuild
There are 12 screws.
http://www.lmctruck.com/icatalog/cb/full.aspx?Page=41 There's a link to the molding from lmc and it shows you basically how it attaches. I'd tape it in place and then drill the holes. |

Re: Al's 71C10 Rebuild
There is also another piece that goes at the bottom of the tailgate if you don't use the larger molding. I see you have the top piece on the tailgate already.

Re: Al's 71C10 Rebuild
BWAHAHAHAHA I win!!!!!
I already have the large one and the mini I borrowed from the oldest boy. Question though. When you put the sleeve attachment on your mini, how did you keep it from chewing up the top of the ball? This one kept getting hung up and ripping pieces off while I was holding the sleeve. And I still couldn't make them look as good as they did originally. Got any technique tips for us beginners? ![]() |

Re: Al's 71C10 Rebuild
Well, putting the polish on the ball would be a new step for me.
![]() I've been rubbing it around with an applicator first and then trying to "polish" it with the ball. Not working very good. Do you use mothers polish or is there something better that doesnt' cost me my 1 acre of land on the moon? |

Re: Al's 71C10 Rebuild
I will when I get to it. One more question though. How much polish do you use if you apply it to the ball first. I was told back in the day to use as little polish as possible and that's what I've been trying to do. Should I be throwing more product at the wheel?
![]() I have a couple of befor and afters from last week but they're not impressive. I'll take some more when I try your method. These are cell phone pics but I'll use the camera next time so you get a better idea. I couldn't do a close up with the cell phone.

Re: Al's 71C10 Rebuild
well Al is at it again, i am rethinking wheels again. I do have the set of two van rallies and two truck rallies but still need to buy tires. One of my guys bought a 68 a couple weeks ago and is totally driving me nuts about buying my coys, he wants them period. Of course I was not really thinking wheels at all as I am perfectly happy with mine but he does have my attention as i may have to go a different route this time....
http://www.rushforthwheels.com/view/Rated-X I am also thinking Budnik. http://www.budnik.com/whatsnew.asp I am also thinking Intro Wheels http://www.introwheels.com/3d_1.shtml Doesany of you have some suggestions for the confused big guy? ![]()

Re: Al's 71C10 Rebuild
I think you need some one of a kind custom wheels made for the truck. Some Foose designed or something along those lines. Good luck
