Re: What did you do to your truck today part II.
Great story, enjoy seeing trucks brought back into the family. How on earth did you find it? Looks like it had been sitting in that spot for quite a while. What are your plans for it? Certainly looks restorable. Thanks for sharing.

Re: What did you do to your truck today part II.
My dad and my friend Chris and I went to the wrecking yard today and got another transmission for my 77 C10. A 4L60 out of a 1990 GMC 3/4 ton van. I'm trying to figure out the code numbers (3BWM434211) I know the "3" is for 1993 and the "M" is for 4L60, but I'm not sure about the "BW" part.
I got it complete with a TV cable, torc converter, Dip stick and tube. But the best part was the sticker on the bell housing. It was a GM re-manufactured transmission. $145.00

Re: What did you do to your truck today part II.
Was on the way to Lowe's when I realized I hadn't tightened the lug nuts tight enough after changing the wheels. Turned around and got about 500 feet from my house when I began to hear this grinding noise. Turns out that the bracket holding the driveshaft was rusting away and today it decided to go... parts are on the way. I'll have to figure out how to put the bracket on soon.

Re: What did you do to your truck today part II.
Well today's job was to get the bed off. So after stripping of the tail board and the floor I stripped the sides off
 And yes there was more yellow   As you can see one of the previous owners had painted everything yellow up to the back of the cab and just stopped  The next job to address was the right engine mount it was the wrong one and had been welded to the chassis so I cut it off and bolted on the one I had got from a guy 10 miles from my home through eBay   I then thought I would try the petrol (gas) tank I had made to my dimensions over here as getting one from the USA would have been to expensive   The next job will be to try in the engine and box in. Then I can start stripping down chassis ready for paint . Last edited by mjh1965; 06-16-2014 at 02:40 PM. Reason: No pics |

Re: What did you do to your truck today part II.
I miss working on my truck...My task at work has been to finish the boss' truck for the Front Street Fathers Day Show this past weekend in Issaquah. Just in case anyone who might have gone to it, it was the viper blue 57 GMC with late model truck wheels. Who ever owns the lowered Chevy with the straight six are you local?

Filled the steering wheel cracks and painted it. Also finished the new floor mat install last night. Can't wait to get things back together.

Re: What did you do to your truck today part II.
Checked for oil leaks, found at least one. Made arrangements for a rebuild, replaced lens cover screws for tail lights, cleaned the bulbs and inside, lens, fit a bulb in the license plate socket, too big but worked. Need a smaller one, any one know the number?

Re: What did you do to your truck today part II.
Finished up the the rear end and 700r4 swap this pass weekend. I also installed lower springs. I'm hoping the next weekend I have off work I can tackle the later model C10 front end suspension swap.
