I dunno man - that engine sure looks like it belongs in a show truck.

Re: Chucks SWB Fleetside
thanks mcbassin,VA72C10,
72LSK10, I wanna go with the original blue color. Its light blue but you can really see the original color where the windshield was. I've got the ppg code somewhere.
Zoomin, Once I ever get it running I'll be getting it dirty. I'm not one to be detailing a lot and stuff. Honestly I'm just lazy. LOL

Re: Chucks SWB Fleetside
I got to putting the heat shields and little clips and have forgotten where they(the clips for the wires) go. I think they attach to the oil pan screws one on each side, but I don't know which one. Also the clip for the tranny cooling lines. I put it on but am not sure if I got it in the right spot.

Re: Chucks SWB Fleetside
Thanks. Haven't done anything last couple days. I need to clean up another ps pump and swap it out. Got my ac brackets out and on hangers and no paint wouldn't you know it? I'll get some tomorrow and get them painted. The brackets look like brushed stainless steel but I'm going to paint them.

Re: Chucks SWB Fleetside
I did a little tonight. I test fit the distributor. It didn't want to sink at first but got it to. It'll probably need to be reset since I don't think I'm a tdc anymore. I also got the ac brackets painted and the compressor on. I tightened up the exhaust manifold.

But what you do on these trucks are top notch. I wish I could see you finish this one. Just think you could finish and keep it for years to come and just take the truck for an evening run remembering the fun times you had building these trucks. I wish luck though with the sell.....

Re: Chucks SWB Fleetside
with all the blood and sweat in my truck just to get it where it is, its slated for handover to my grandson. No way I could ever sell it.

Re: Chucks SWB Fleetside
I did some more little stuff today. Got the 2 into 1 pipe on so I can get a muffler and run it like that till I get to the exhaust. Put the tranny and oil dipsticks in. and the line to the modulator for the tranny. cleaned and painted some more tower clamps. Put the top hose on. Still have to get thermostat and gasket. Took the power steering pump off and cleaned and painted a correct one. I think I'm going to get new tranny cooling lines soon.

Re: Chucks SWB Fleetside
Glad you're keeping it. At least this way if you still decide to sell it when finished you'll get top $$$ vs selling as a project which is hard right now.
