Re: Cecil the 1953 5 window / S-10 / 5.7 TPI
Shawn great build and I hope that Chris has a speedy recovery. That is horrible what happened but glad to hear that Chris is getting better everyday. I just got my 53 5 window on Tuesday and my S10 donor yesterday so I cant wait to get started but have so many questions for Chris and you, if you have time.

Re: Cecil the 1953 5 window / S-10 / 5.7 TPI
For all of you kept me and mine in your thoughts and prayers, thank you. I am slowly recovering. It will be a while before I am building any trucks though. LOL

Never had that problem, I think you may have a defective one!

Re: Cecil the 1953 5 window / S-10 / 5.7 TPI
FWIW had i known i was going to have to add a vacuum booster pump on mine (for the brakes) i woulda kept the old vacuum wipers. New electrics are just ok but miss the old whoosh-whoosh sound iva had over these last 50 years

Re: Cecil the 1953 5 window / S-10 / 5.7 TPI
Not sure if anyone is still following this thread but I have decided to explore the market and see if anyone might be interested in buying Cecil. I have to many “toys” and Cecil doesn’t get the attention he deserves. He is basically the same as the thread build except we went back to a carburetor setup.

Re: Cecil the 1953 5 window / S-10 / 5.7 TPI
Id love to have that truck but way too many irons in the fire for me. Im sure you won't have any trouble selling it. I still have a dash hanging in my shop I got from Chris.

Re: Cecil the 1953 5 window / S-10 / 5.7 TPI
I may just send Cecil an auction, although I would rather it go to someone who followed the build and was a fan of Chris’ ability to merge the S10 frames with these old bodies.
