I got the longbed washed, and the shortbed is sad and dirty in the background.

Blew the rear half back apart so we could clean for primer and painting.

Please, don't quote your own pics. We know what your truck looks like...

That's the newest looking 60-66 I've ever seen.

**jayoldschool** · 05-31-2013, 05:00 PM

Anubisani, this is the 60-66 truck section...

He has been posting here for weeks. I was wondering when someone was going to break the news to him. Or maybe he's trying to be as cool as the rest of us.

ChrisDollins · 05-31-2013, 08:16 PM

Got started on the disc brake and power steering conversion.

I rebuilt my alternator today. That rear bearing was *NOT* fun.

endlessearth · 06-01-2013, 04:16 PM

Today my truck got its motor bay and undercarriage steam-cleaned to remove 48 years of gunk in preparation for some wrenching.

Yesterday it got some lettering on the doors.

robber grin · 05-31-2013, 10:13 PM

Worked on mounting rear tank conversion kit in my 62 C10.

Drove my wife to visit her Daddy in the cemetery.
He always wanted to ride in my 1965 C10 "Sally" but he left us before I got her done, so I take my wife in Sally so he can see her while we visit, he seems to ride back home with us in my wife's heart every time.
He causes her to cry....
"Bill" was a good man, and I am sorry I didn't work fast enough!

Installed my junk yard sway bar today. Purchased it back in late winter and then had to shelve it when my starter blew, requiring emergency attention. I understand why everyone that's added a sway bar says it's a must, the handling is so much less Titanic like.

robber grin · 06-02-2013, 05:56 PM

Finished hashing out the rear tank conversion on my 62 C10 while my son cleaned the frame.

...as I'm getting the rest of the body panels aligned and ready for paint later this year, I finally mocked up my Pomona Swap meet find from 10 years ago. Rear cab trim...

markeb01 · 06-03-2013, 11:46 AM

It's a shame those have never been reproduced. They can be such a nice improvement. Many trucks could benefit by adding one, but the rarity and expense makes it impractical for a lot of owners.
