looks great, loving the chassis colour a vast improvement to the usual gloss black.

Re: Martin's mi-STRESS, 1965 Long Fleetside C10 "Rebuild in ENGLAND"
Well as Rian has mentioned earlier, I went to his to give him a hand . But before We started working on his truck , we both went to the scrap metal place . I needed some steel to make a gearbox crossmember . The guys down the yard are a nice bunch of blokes and there prices are reasonable . All that steel for £5 about $7.50
This is my little hoard , enough steel to make a crossmember This is what I am hoping to make tomorrow The next problem I have is my prop mine is to long . The other problem is the joke is the wrong one . I was given one by Clem on our trip but unfortunately it was the same as the one I already had . So luckily I rembered that Andy on here had got one from Dell . I rember from his thread that he didn't use it , so I called him and at last things are looking up . It's the right length and even better it has the right yoke on the end . With all that's going on at the moment at home , it's great to get some good news . Thanks Andy for your help with measurements and pictures . The wrong end on my prop and the one from Clem The correct style that's on Andy's prop So it's just a case of getting it from Andy's , ironically Andy picked it up from mine when he purchased it from Dell . Once again this board and the guys on here helping each other . I'd like to wish all the guys reading my thread a happy new year, with lots of truck time . Like me I hope you get a lot nearer completion in 2016 . So I hope to see lots of updates on the threads I follow .

Re: Martin's mi-STRESS, 1965 Long Fleetside C10 "Rebuild in ENGLAND"
Well I managed to get my crossmember made today .
This is with the gearbox mount in place What I did find was the C section I used on the ends is an inch shorter than the chassis rails , so instead of cutting and changing it . I decided that by using two half inch spacers , I have the option of raising the crossmember , depending were the spacers are placed . Tomorrow I plan on checking the clearance with the exhaust to see if I need to put some notches in , if it fits I will drill the holes and get it painted .

Re: Martin's mi-STRESS, 1965 Long Fleetside C10 "Rebuild in ENGLAND"
cross member looking good. Re the prop just thought it must have done about 5000 miles but not in use over the last 6 months, imported from USA 4500 miles, up and down the UK 500 miles. Hopefully the next it gains miles will be in real use!
