We put a thunderbird rack and pinion steering on the c10 cross member and dropped the cross member 2 inches

In The Ten Ring · 09-22-2013, 09:28 PM

I sprayed this

Onto the driver's side of these

in preparation for applying undercoat then installing the new bushings.

THEN, I managed to break an extractor off into a bolt I was trying to back out! Usually I win the battle with my truck but today, the truck and I tied. A friend is a welder and will be up in November to help me out. I figure I'll just have him tack on a nut so I can get this bolt out.

Got the cab on my 72 GMC ready to come off and measured up the bottom of the cab to make a home made support to use on it my 71 Chevy c10 and the 64 c20. Metal or wood? Leaning toward metal. Tore out seat and carpet and was happy to see that I could not see through the floor anywhere and that it just needs rockers, a cab corner, and some light kick panel patching!

Took a few pictures.

Cleaned it up from sitting 2 weeks and went to a cruise inn Saturday night. Needs to be cleaned a little more for a car show this weekend.

ugotd8 · 09-23-2013, 04:45 PM

Paid for it and drove it home!!!

Very nice!

It wasn't today, but over the weekend my father in law picked up this grille for our 69 K5 project for $225

Untitled by wrfalcon75, on Flickr

Also got a pair of buckets, a console, and a rear seat for the K5.

ABSOLUTELY water cooled.

Half-Fast · 09-23-2013, 04:59 PM

Tightened the rocker arms, so that it doesn't sound like I'm popping corn under the valve covers.

craig7070 · 09-23-2013, 07:25 PM

Took off the rear diff since the wheels were locked up to find no fluid and a bunch of gear metal pieces... Not Cool

Patina'd_402 · 09-23-2013, 08:42 PM

Attached hoses.... Opened some boxes, discovered the parts were wrong, got pissed off.

I sprayed NAPA Undercoating onto the frame brackets for the bushings, cleaned out the driver's side weatherstrip lip, sprayed NAPA Rust Treatment into there and onto the driver's side floorboard, AND had this installed:

The old door was CRAP: 6 single pane windows to the old door, thin as heck wood, and a skeleton key! I'm still surprised why the garage wasn't broken into. It took the company men 8 hours to get this thing in but they did a great job. I can now sleep much more soundly knowing a deadbolt is helping protect my truck.

magwakeenercew2jh · 09-23-2013, 10:37 PM

Friday I bought these cheapo locking (?) cases from Harbor Freight. We had company over the weekend.

So, today I went to the hardware store and bought some latches. I attached them so I could open 'em up while they
are locked in place (after I unlock the latches), and so they'd be easily removeable.

Just a "need sometimes" deal. And a, "keep honest folks honest" while parked for lunch or something and out of
the line-of-sight from RAT for a little while.

mud.man.rj · 09-23-2013, 11:27 PM

Kind of cool cases, to small for a tool box but bet they can hold a few things. What is the plan for them Mag, special tools or something. I am always a bit scared so I put big tool boxs in mine but mostly end up being for my friends trucks that break down.

Mudman.

Check out the link...I had a full day putting the hoist together and cleaning and painting parts for the new to me 6.0 LSx swap!

In The Ten Ring · 09-24-2013, 07:21 PM

Not as much as I wanted to! *And I really wanted to paint some today!!!

I bought some Rustoleum primer and flat black to spray on the driver's side floor boards and I picked up my newly rebuilt carburetor. I also got a lot of advice from the garage owner and it looks like I might be replacing all the hard fuel lines.....

mud.man.rj · 09-24-2013, 07:24 PM

Mag you put a lot of thought and work into those special cases, I feel tired already. Cool job.

Tomahawk30 · 09-24-2013, 08:04 PM

Loaded Sprout onto a truck to go to its new owner outside of Denver, CO. Well, technically my wife watched the truck driver load it as I had to be out of town this week. The new owner bought it sight unseen, so I hope he's happy with it when it arrives! A little sad (as I always am when something sells), but one step closer to moving to our new home in Kentucky and buying my next project!

Pulled the radiator and dropper it off at culpeppers.

Pulled the heater core, heater box and interior air box. They are both rusted pretty badly. Not sure what I am going to do with them. To bad Gm didnt think to pain the inside of th eboxes so they would not rust from the inside out.

Patina'd_402 · 09-24-2013, 08:40 PM

I sat in my truck, impatiently waiiting for my Tranny Cooler to get here...
Then, I made a plate to cover the giant radio cutout.

How do you put the Radiator Hoses back on to the Heater core?

legotech7 · 09-26-2013, 11:04 AM

3/4'' hose on the top of the core, 5/8'' on the bottom.....
