It'll be a bit before I get everything together to install it, but I will post the improvements, if any.

got the cab on finally. needs rear wheel spacers and gotta get the 500 lbs of crap in the bed.

Shyguy · 11-16-2012, 02:29 PM

We took the stepside bed up to my son's house since we are now ready to start getting it ready for painting.

Washed it down good, removed the tailgate and the chains.

Tomorrow we will weld in the roll pan, then see what else we have time to do.

**thelonerife** · 11-18-2012, 10:29 PM

put some under dash lights and a glove box light in.

dliving69 · 11-18-2012, 10:44 PM

Well this past week, water pump went out so I swapped a new one in and then headed home and the damn belt busted, so now thats getting replaced tomorrow. Also found out I have 3.73 posi trac rear end. Ready to get it back running.

*bk2life* · 11-19-2012, 09:46 AM

Asked the machine shop wtf is taking so long to put my motor together…

mcmlxix · 11-19-2012, 06:01 PM

Test fit the NP205 to the 4L80e and had my friend Russ (the robot) tig weld the adapter...

in deep 72 · 11-19-2012, 06:14 PM

Nice adaptor! I was going to go the same route, 4l80e and 205, but had my transmission guy talk me out of it (that and the cost of the electronics needed). Now trying to sell the 80.

**nlped** · 11-19-2012, 08:09 PM

Got my frontend aligned after swapping all the brakes, drop suspension and steering. The guy did a very thorough job considering the change in stance and all

c10srule · 11-20-2012, 04:56 AM

finished dads bed floor, put the hood and tail gate on, just about done, will put the exhaust on tomorrow then dad has to do some finishing touches, turned out to be a cool old truck

**FRENCHBLUE72** · 11-20-2012, 08:49 AM

Welded some bump stops on yesterday.........

RexDodge · 11-20-2012, 11:36 AM

Booya! Got the first layers of epoxy on! Special thanks goes out to JRE (Justin). Now on to the details and slicksand.

Shyguy · 11-22-2012, 12:04 AM

We cleaned and straightened my son's garage, since we are done with building my '67 swb stepper. Then we pushed in his next project.

ChillWinstonC20 · 11-22-2012, 10:17 AM

Shyguy, looks like you and your son did an amazing job on that stepper. Can't wait to see his c10 project! Love the stripes on cowl. Did you guys have a build thread anywhere? I'm curious what the rest of it looks like

UNEASYRIDER · 11-22-2012, 10:33 AM

Built me a box and installed to test it out

c10srule · 11-22-2012, 12:51 PM

cleaned it and took it out to beat on the tires

c10srule · 11-22-2012, 12:53 PM

Tip: Make sure that is fully out before you put it back in the tank. Otherwise, you run the risk of having a hot dog.

c10srule · 11-22-2012, 02:26 PM

pretty cool, pitched it in some water then it went in the trash can

bsteele · 11-22-2012, 03:25 PM

The rear end was leaking so I pulled the cover off, cleaned it, re-painted it and re-installed. Also painted the master cyclinder since I am finally getting to drive it and it was starting to show a little rust. Lastly I fixed the shifter. I had hooked up 1st and reverse backwards. It was interesting the first time I started to pul off. Now it is time to go to the in-laws to eat. Happy Thanksgiving to all. I'll ask everyone to take a minute today and really think about what you are thankful for. Tell the people you love how much you are thankful for them!!

Uneasyrider, looks like you've got the most important tools out and in use...

Jimbabwe · 11-22-2012, 10:58 PM

Technically this was yesterday, but you get the idea.
