Re: "Old Olive" 1970 C10 porterbuilt build

I hear ya, but I have to install this one at least once to make sure that it fixes the problem. If it doesn't, they are still liable to fix my trans if its the pump or something else wrong with it. I would hate to sell the TC for another one and it still not work. I'll just drop the trans again down the road if I an unhappy. Just want this problem fixed first

Re: "Old Olive" 1970 C10 porterbuilt build

hope this does it,
otherwise the only thing that would fix this is for you to exchange it (the entire truck)
with fellow board member kvn1011, in the long run it will make kvn1011 feel as tho he has won the lottery lol
just kidding hope you get it worked out!!

Re: "Old Olive" 1970 C10 porterbuilt build

Don't be too hasty! I've seen more than one project get sent down the road for pennies on the dollar because the owner got frustrated...h$ll I've even done it before and regret it every time. You're so close to the finish line! Just hang in there, you'll figure it out. Take a break for a week or two if need be to get a fresh start on it again.

Re: "Old Olive" 1970 C10 porterbuilt build

I haven't posted an update in a while! It turns out the new torque converter I got did not work. After pulling my transmission out three separate times and installing it three separate times, I found out the torque converter I was using was too small. I put in a taller stall and it seems to have fixed my problems. The truck is basically finished now just need the interior and a few odds and ends!

Re: "Old Olive" 1970 C10 porterbuilt build

Looks awesome!!! I'd love to see/hear it rolling! That video you posted a while back of the first fire...

What happened with the Cub Tubz? I thought you had those all painted and ready to go?

Re: "Old Olive" 1970 C10 porterbuilt build

Something about those wheels, I have always liked them on a stock looking (slammed) truck.

Nicely done!!
