Re: The misadventures of Captain Krylon - 68 C-10 barn find
Travilinman...Sorry, but...
Those mirrors are setting the theme for this rowdy, redneck machine... I'm lookin' for an old style gun rack to go in the rear window. Thanks... |

Re: The misadventures of Captain Krylon - 68 C-10 barn find
I have got the motor & trans seperated for yet another, prep and paint marathon.
All the smog crap is coming off that motor. I picked up these off flea-bay to replace the CPU stuff. A new Edie. (on the cheap, of course)  A NOS Holley... (super cheep)  Well, the flu is starting to make me dizzy again so, off to bed I go... Or maybe it's the Nyquil...

Re: The misadventures of Captain Krylon - 68 C-10 barn find
It looks real solid. Is there much rust to fix? What happened to all the long bed truck stuff?

I'll deal with the replacement patches later on. I live in a huge residential community that is basically, HOA hell. I am focusing on the up & running part and fix it as I go... I wanna' drive this girl sooner rather than later. The long bed truck carcass is a long story. I stripped it of all she was worth & left the remains there. It found a new home about a week later. |

Re: The misadventures of Captain Krylon - 68 C-10 barn find
Welcome from Spring! The build is looking really good and glad to see another truck pulled from a barn to be saved. Love to see the truck running the streets around here. I'm right off of Riley Fuzzel in the Spring Trails Sub. HOA hell also!

I took the day off to go look around, but it will have to be a really good deal if I buy something, cuz' the van tapped the truck fund. Thanks & I am always looking for guidance & encouragement as I sometimes ask myself, "What have I done to myself?" |

Re: The misadventures of Captain Krylon - 68 C-10 barn find
Well, it's been a while since I have posted here so let me see if I still know how.
I did a little work on the rear frame cross brace. It seems as if farmer Brown was pulling tree stumps out with it. I got another one to replace it.   I put it in the truck and am researching what way to go with a fuel tank.

Re: The misadventures of Captain Krylon - 68 C-10 barn find
I also stripped the "van" of all she was worth...
She seemed so lonely...  She gave me lip, so I loaded her up and took her to the crusher.  With everything of worth out of it, she still crossed the scales @ 3500lbs. |

Re: The misadventures of Captain Krylon - 68 C-10 barn find
I finally got around to putting the booster/master cylinder on the truck.
  I guess I felt motivated to do so cuz' my SS brake lines will be here this week. I needed something to hook them up to, so why not, right? |

Re: The misadventures of Captain Krylon - 68 C-10 barn find
I found a few new things @ swap meets, flea markets, and good friends donations.
It is all just the process of creating your own personalized junk yard...   I picked up a couple of "dirty hookers."  Since I paid for them, I had them strip...  After I was finished with them, I cleaned them up & gave them a new life.

Re: The misadventures of Captain Krylon - 68 C-10 barn find
I had to strip about a half mile of wires off of the smog controlled motor that I had no use for with the CPU free build that I am doing...
She was a little dirty on the outside, but as I would find out later. Extremely clean on the inside...      I was very happy to see how clean she was on the inside. (I only cleaned the gasket area and nothing else)  The previous owner of the van was over for a Christmas dinner with us. I asked, "Would you like to come and see the work I've gotten done on the van motor?" I said, "I still have some work to do, but it's getting close."     He didn't believe me... |
