Removed the 3 blade fan and installed a correct one with fan clutch I got from Teeitup. Also replaced the belts.

That is a cool photo! I was checking out your photos on Flickr, very nice. Look professional. Are there many c-10s in Kuwait?

Took her out for a cruise, and to get my sweet tooth jones fix at the local DQ.

Degreased and wire-wheeled my frame - should have 2 coats of paint by the end of the week

PipsC10 · 09-12-2010, 07:50 PM

installed throttle cable and kickdown, started to install radiator

willys72fleetside · 09-12-2010, 07:59 PM

Painted the inside of the cab, now I can start some reassem.bly

hayhauler71 · 09-12-2010, 08:35 PM

Asked my 10 year old daughter if she wanted to go for a ride and she said yes. So than i had to tell my wife to get in that we were going for a test beat in the hayhauler. Lets just say the ricers did not have a chance today.

AusTx68 · 09-12-2010, 08:53 PM

Dropped my 68' off at the body shop for touchup and final color sanding! Hopefully my last trip to the body shop..at least for the next 12 months. Always something to do!

bigguy69 · 09-12-2010, 09:50 PM

took the single 16 inch fan off (electric). installed two 12 inch fans(electric)

ace of shades · 09-12-2010, 11:50 PM

Just got it back from having a friend put together and install a motor in trade for some work I did for him (you have to love the barter system). Didn't seem like it was running right -has a low speed miss- , so I picked up some plugs and wires. Pulling the plugs they looked brand new so I put them back in, went to change wires and found out the box only had 7 wires in it, so I cleaned up the old wires, put them back on making sure they snapped into place and took it for a drive around the block. Didn't seem to help it that much, but didn't seam to hurt it that much

jgibson · 09-13-2010, 01:14 AM

I went to the salvage yard nearby, and hunted down a kickdown for the TH475. not that I really needed it, the 454 produces plenty-o-torque, but what the heck. picked up two kickdown switches, and wiring, for $5.43!!
10 min. later, and WOW!! this is what I've been missing!! she's so much lighter on her feet.

TonyC66 · 09-13-2010, 11:56 PM

DjS71 · 09-14-2010, 12:38 AM

Fired up the heirloom for the first time in my possession, probably for the first time in 5 years. Tomorrow its trial-by-fire with the 3 on the tree.

longhorn396 · 09-14-2010, 09:46 AM

Nothing.... Yet

70 net440 · 09-14-2010, 09:46 PM

Changed the oil in my kid's '71 K-10.

Hubscrub · 09-14-2010, 09:50 PM

moved it to mow my grass/dirt we are sooo dry

60ratrod · 09-14-2010, 10:44 PM

well this might not count cause its not a truck, but it is a 72, and a chevy. anyway i started the disc conversion on the mrs's 72 4 door chevelle malibu by taking off the driver's side drum assembly and couldn't get it loose from the upper ball joint so i ended up removing the whole upper a-arm after getting the lower ball joint loose. anyone got some tips on getting the top one out with the arm out and the spindle still attached?? i guess photos can be posted if you guys want some

bovey · 09-14-2010, 11:24 PM

I finally took on my first real welding job, which was spot-welding in reinforcements for the large hump to cover my new tranny properly.

MIG welding rocks. To those who have always wanted to do it, get yourself one and have at it. Very fun.

Cheers,
Bovey

67chevy1series · 09-14-2010, 11:39 PM
