Good action shots Chief!
I think I need to get the post office to forward your packages to me... ![]() my Chrome Bumper Guards on my 1965 c10 - plus pics of them uninstalled How to install bumper guards - step by step pictorial by hilandr451 The bumper guards were an option and were available chrome or painted. You can find them used on the online auction sites and here in the 60-66 parts board. If you have an original bumper, it is best to use the original ones, I've read of fitment issues on the re-pop bumpers... and also fitment issues of repop guards on the original bumpers. -W Last edited by Woogeroo; 10-30-2009 at 04:02 AM. |

Re: The "UnOfficial Rock-a-Chief" Build Thread....
Geez.... I get sick looking in here... You have your truck in a shop, with a lift.... I usually have to work on my C20 outside, weather permitting, and roll around on the cold ground... or cold barn floor depending on what's going on. Well...... I'm not selling you any more parts then

Re: The "UnOfficial Rock-a-Chief" Build Thread....
I figured 6 months later it's time for an update ... not much, but it's something !!
Trucks still sitting in the same place. Since then I had to rob the drivers side tires for my scrap trailer. To my pops, this made my truck look like an eye sore in his building, so ... its time to bring her home. Scored a deal with my buddy, I installed some coils and spindles in his S-10 Blazer, and he hooked me up with some used, but near new staggered BFG's that he buffed .... - - ![]() - ![]() - - Of course, one thing leads to another and he informs me "Hey man your really gonna need an 8" rim in the rear, and at least a 7" in the front to get the right 'look' ". He knows his business, worked in the 'business' for like 20 years at local Hot Rod shop ... he can tell you tire/rim sizes from a distance. - - So, on went my search to find some 6-lug 15x8's on the cheap ... found flakes on CL, and no time to hunt at the local yards ... - - Then, all of sudden, one of my buddys on here "SlepySal", comes thru with a lead on some wheels ... puts in a good word ... and I score some for $25 a piece, not too bad !! BUT IT GETS BETTER !! - THANKS AGAIN SAL !!! - After lowering the Blazer down off the lift that night after lowering ... we realized it was too dang low .... Turns out BELLTECH ship him out 4cyl lowering springs, instead of the V6 springs. - - So I swap out those springs for a second time (which were wrong again, now it too high !! ![]() - - ![]() - ![]() - - Three of them are really clean, while the other one is surface rusty ... I will be blasting all for of them anyway here shortly... - - Hmmm, what am I getting for the third spring change on the Blazer ?? Bartering labor for parts is the way to go !!! Well, not really progress, but this is the only progress my truck has seen in a while .... better than nothing I guess !!!

Re: The "UnOfficial Rock-a-Chief" Build Thread....
Sounds like a deal to me... At least you are still thinking about your truck. I hope to get the tranny down to my house today and hopfully start changing it to a 2wd tranny instead of a 4wd. Then get my truck back to the shop and paint that firewall.

![]() On these rallys, I was thinking about fabbing up some rings, to lay in the wheel to cover the slots. Taking some flat plate, and cutting some donuts that cover the area from the center hub to the rim. Doing this rather than cut small pieces and weld up every single hole ... I have a circle cutting guide for my plazma, but I have a machinist buddy who might be able to do this for me. If I can get them to fit tight enough, mabey I could just tap and screw in from the back side ... Color contrast the rings ?? Some idears ...
