Re: Project Old Blue, 1965 C10, Rebuild Version 2010
Here are some pics of stuff I have done while my camera was down:
Motor after cleaning: ![]() After a Fresh Coat of Paint: ![]() ![]() Here is the 1 brake line I completed the other night before breaking my flaring tool: ![]() Last night I bent up these. They run from the master cylinder down to the frame rail. ![]() Here they are install on the master cylinder: ![]() ![]() I need to finish the end where they connect at the frame, but with out a flare tool, I am kind of stuck now...I guess I will move onto other things that I can do to the truck.

Re: Project Old Blue, 1965 C10, Rebuild Version 2010
Beautiful work!! Looks like you have a lot of experience with hard lines. It's hard for me to make one line that lays just right much less having two that are suppose to mirror each other.

Brake lines are nice. I wish I could bend like that.

Re: Project Old Blue, 1965 C10, Rebuild Version 2010
Thanks for the compliments, I am still learning and made a few mistakes before I made those. I hop that I do not mess up the other end when I cut and flare it...
No progress lastnight, I decided to paint the intake since I cannot get it to look good by cleaning it. Started to spray it and the can quit spraying after about 2 passes with a brand new can...I will get another today and try again...

Re: Project Old Blue, 1965 C10, Rebuild Version 2010
A few years ago I had my Team G intake bead blasted and it turned out real good. After eight years it still looks good just dusty.

Re: Project Old Blue, 1965 C10, Rebuild Version 2010
Thanks Guys.
My plan is to have the brake lines all ran this week and the system ready to bleed. I need a few line clamps and the boot to the back of the master cylinder. I decided to paint the intake because I did not want to take the motor apart since it was running OK when it was pulled out.

Re: Project Old Blue, 1965 C10, Rebuild Version 2010
It is a Holley Strip Dominator. The intake runner is about 3/16" (I'm guessing) above the valve cover rail on the head.
Had to work on my DD last night. Had to replace the battery, the cold weather killed it. It was nearly 5 years old, the good thing is that it had a 9 year warranty and that knocked off $32 from the price of the new one. Once that was fixed I did get the water pump bolted on the engine. And my order from CPP came in and all the parts where there! Thanks Jeff!

Re: Project Old Blue, 1965 C10, Rebuild Version 2010
Got a little work done last night. I put the boot on the MC and remounted it to the firewall. I will bench bleed the MC while it is mounted to the firewall. I also got more parts mocked up on the motor for a picture.
![]() Also, I got my rear calipers in from Rock Auto. They are plated with a gold (yellow zinc) color. I hate to paint them, but the fronts are painted black... Here are the remans from Rock Auto: ![]() Here are my front ones after paint: ![]() My plans for this weekend are up in the air, but I hope to get the truck rolled outside to degrease and wash the frame and underside of the cab. If I can, I am also going to power wash the inside of the cab, mostly the floor and inside the doors. Hope the rain holds off... My sister had her twin boys this week, so we are headed over to see her and the new boys. There is also a car show this weekend in the same town, might try to squeeze that in too.

Re: Project Old Blue, 1965 C10, Rebuild Version 2010
Went to Tyler on Saturday to see my new nephews (twins) and my sister and her husband. I forgot how small new borns are...
Sunday it was supposed to rain but is did not and it was warm, so I rolled the truck outside got some cleaning done yesterday. I used an industrial degreaser and borrowed a neighbor's pressure washer to clean the frame and under the cab. The under cab area was nasty... The inside of the cab had a funky smell from the critters and nasty carpet that I removed. So, I soaked the floor area with the degreaser and pressure washed it to. It helped knock off some of the loose rust too! I got it rolled back in the garage by the end of the day. The photo's are after I was done and it had mostly dried out and was getting ready to roll it back inside. ![]() ![]()

Re: Project Old Blue, 1965 C10, Rebuild Version 2010
After I got it back inside, I decided to do a little work on it. I need to remove the old bump stop brackets off of the rear so that I can get a c-notch in there sometime.
![]() I am also, going to remove the rear crossmember and fab up on that mounts a little further back. I want to make a little more room for a gas tank. At some point I am going to change the panhard bar and mounts, so that will mean the orginal mount and crossmemeber are coming out also. ![]() All I got done was the rivets are center punched and started drilling them out. The battery died on my cordless, so I quit for the night. Tonight, I have to rearrange the garage so that I can get my wife's car in there too. They say it is going to snow again in the next day or so...

Just finished reading your build. I will say one thing if it was the only complement I was allowed to give you is Holly !#$% those bends are awesome in your brake lines.
I can't wait to see how this turns out. Great job so far. |

Re: Project Old Blue, 1965 C10, Rebuild Version 2010
I thought it looked pretty short from the pic. Your housing ends are very close to the TA pads, where mine on the 68 housing are 2-3" (squinting eye estimation) farther away.

Re: Project Old Blue, 1965 C10, Rebuild Version 2010
Yea, they are close. When I made the pads back then, I had to modify the rear outside corner of the pad to clear the caliper. The pads I made were taller and longer then the ones that I recently purchased from CPP to redo that part.
