Sorry. I thought it was on purpose.

I think I will actually incorporate it into my build since the shifter knob I made is wooden, and I am building a flat bed. Should tie it all in.

They finally found where I bought starter at Autozone and replaced it. Put the new starter on and noticed turned over kinda slow, charged battery and started her up. I pulled the positive battery cable off and truck died. I took alternator to Autozone to have it tested, it was bad so I bought a new one. I think I've replaced everything but belts and water pump.

**MisterC** · 03-13-2012, 11:45 PM

I got the fan shroud mounted and the fuel filter changed. In preparation for the drive to the CPP gathering, I got the temporary seat belts installed. I received the fabric today for the new seat upholstery. Obviously it didn't come in time to have the seat done by this weekend's trip.

Real_McCoy · 03-14-2012, 12:44 AM

I just moved engines around. Loaded up the cracked 250. went to pick up the 283. took both to the storage shed. picked up the spare 250 from the storage shed and brought it home. Hope to start installing it on Thursday evening. Hope it runs. I have never had it in anything since I bought it last year or was it the year before?

fasteddie1964 · 03-14-2012, 09:18 PM

I changed the fuel filter after running about 20 gals of fuel through gas line. New tank, sending unit, but same fuel line on frame. NASTY

markeb01 · 03-14-2012, 10:00 PM

Thank goodness you had that filter in there.

That's about as good as the fuel-filter looked on our Jeep when we got it. lol

62 Barnfind · 03-15-2012, 12:01 PM

I repaired a rust hole in the left front door and started replacing the door skin on the right.

tonythezeek · 03-15-2012, 02:45 PM

i bent the arm on a hydraulic press while attempting to seat a ball joint.

Woogeroo · 03-15-2012, 03:35 PM

Yesterday evening, swapped out the blower motor in my 1965 c10.

gory details here, post 9

suzq044 · 03-15-2012, 05:08 PM

continued painting..

SOO much better than can-o-flage.. We're going to do the roof black & the stripe white. It's temporary so the neighbors don't continue to [bleep] about it. So, it's obviously not a quality job, but it's better than what it was. lol - the white is brighter in person.. phone doesn't like it.

tincan1966 · 03-15-2012, 06:51 PM

I haven't even touch the "burb project in about 3 weeks. Been concentrating on the Blue Oval build(it's closer to completion) Also since I sold my '70 C-30 I needed to get another truck on the road soon! LOL!

Great work by all you other guys-lots of cool projects going!!

fasteddie1964 · 03-15-2012, 07:18 PM

I can get rocker panels and floor board repair panels and fender repair panels (which I need) if anyone wants the rockers and floor panels I'm probably gonna get them.

fasteddie1964 · 03-17-2012, 09:16 AM

Put a heater blower motor in. The third trip to the parts store, I finally got a good motor. The first one I brought home squealed worse than the old one. Took it back they didn't have one, had to drive to another town to get one.

ABX131 · 03-17-2012, 09:44 AM

Ah the weekend is here and I hope to have brakes by the end of it. I got my new master cylinder and booster yesterday and will be at my father in law's to day to fab a bracket. He is a retired machinist and has a full shop! I dont have a garage and I am dependant on decent weather for the time being. Can't wait until summer so I can really tear into this. Nothing beats a sunny day, the radio, and a couple of cold beers while working on a project with my kids.

**66ChevyMax** · 03-17-2012, 11:48 AM

Mocked up the exhaust and front fender

Well, not today - yesterday when I got home form work. I installed the stainless bracket I made complete with stainless studs, washers & nuts for my radiator recovery system & washer jar & pump combo. I flipped the voltage regulator & horn relay to the other side of the radiator support and ran the wiring through the hole for the headlight plug. I ran the overflow hose through the opening receiver-drier sight glass. I tested the washer pump and it works. All in all I'm happy. I mounted horns from a 75? Chevy truck to each side of the radiator between the grille and the radiator support & used existing mount bolts to attach them. I only had to drill two 1/4 holes for all of this. I hate drilling new holes. There's always that chance I might be welding them back up in a few years from now.

banno · 03-17-2012, 03:28 PM

I tested the wiring of my new tow-bar. My East-Germany micro mobile home fits perfect to the C10, isn't it?

suzq044 · 03-17-2012, 06:12 PM

.. watched the rain bounce off the 'new' paintjob... wishing i could finish said new paintjob <_< Now I just have to retape /paper the windows.

What a nice looking package. I bet you'll have a lot of fun with that and draw a lot of attention doing it.

tincan1966 · 03-17-2012, 06:27 PM

Didn't do any work on projects, but we did chase down a lead on some 1940's CEO trucks. Found them and got a contact number/name. There were 4 of them and all pretty decent BUT the sad news-- they turned out to all be F**d's Sorry guys, thought it was a good lead....
