Re: Action's project - 1966 C10
I got the cab removed thanks to "Strodder" 1965/73 Cheap Build Up thread. This site is so helpful and full of great ideas!

Re: Action's project - 1966 C10
Cool to see your son involved. Mine wants to, but usually when I ask for his help, he is too busy with his own hobbies (he is real into RC Cars right now)....but sometimes he does help out

Re: Action's project - 1966 C10
I removed the rear coil springs today while the temperature was in the 70's. We have a cold front moving in tomorrow and it is supposed to get down in the 30's. Gotta love Texas!
I jacked up the frame 1 side at a time to relieve the pressure on the coil, sprayed a bunch of PB Blaster on the bolts and waited about 30 minutes. All 4 bolts ended up busting anyways. Coils removed and tools I used: ![]() Check out that drop! ![]()

Re: Action's project - 1966 C10
Just found this thread and welcome from Idaho!!
Good to see the family history include a great truck.. I bet you are glad that bad green paint went away!! Always let the kids help --they will remember just like you did.

Re: Action's project - 1966 C10

I need a little help, I can't seem to get this apart! I first put the frame up on jacks, then jacked up the lower A arm and loosened the castle nut about a 1/4 inch, lowered the jack and beat it to death with a 3 pound hammer and also tried a pickle fork. Any suggestions? As you can see, I gave up and just cut the spring with a grinder. I re-attached it to the wheel and tried beating on it some more. HELP! I still have the other side to do.

Re: Action's project - 1966 C10
Got the trailing arms removed from the frame and from the rear axle. Those U-bolts were something else, can you say hernia?
