Rolling chassis looks great, nicely detailed. The wide slots was a good find.

Re: Martin's mi-STRESS, 1965 Long Fleetside C10 "Rebuild in ENGLAND"
Well not much done on the truck this weekend . I did get something done to help with the build though.
As most of you know it's always been a struggle for space for me , building these trucks due to there size . Well the other week I saw a concrete bolt together garage on eBay , so I put in a bid at the last minute , and won it for £2.20 about $4 . ![]() ![]() So this is where the fun begins the roof on these old garages is made of concrete with a 5% mix of asbestos . So after some checking and speaking to one of Rian's friend Keith who works in demolition , it was time to speak to the seller and say I couldn't remove the roof . She then called me back a day later , to say she would arrange for it to be removed by specialists. So on Saturday morning , I hooked up my neighbors trailer , and headed down to a cafe that was just down the road from the lady's house . There I had arranged to meet a friend Stephen , who was going too give me a hand . So while we were eating breakfast I got a call from the lady to say the specialist had finished removing the roof Once at the house we were joined by Rian who had offered to help as well . The strip down ![]() Half way there ![]() Rian showing he can hold the end wall up with no hands ![]() The roof trusses with all the cross braces removed . The next job will be to clean them up and paint them ready for the assembly ![]() And last of all this is the shed that will be replaced by the garage . It's a foot wider so I will remove the shed and extend the concrete base ready for the shed when the weather improves. ![]()

Who you gonna call.... ???
Shed Busters... !!! I think the rebuild will be a lot easier than the deconstruction. Fresh nuts, bolts n screws. And at least we will have the right tools on site and someone who can use woodwork tools ![]() ![]() ![]() I get a feeling of DejaVu. 16 January 2014 Quote:

Re: Martin's mi-STRESS, 1965 Long Fleetside C10 "Rebuild in ENGLAND"
Well I still have a nasty cough but at least I don't feel so rough .
I haven't got anything done on the truck but I did do a bit on the Harley . My MOT is due and there are a few jobs that I needed to do . One was fix the rear brake light switch . The other job was I wanted to change the front lower front fork legs and upgrade the fork springs with progressive ones . I also wanted to change the rear end to the later v rod rear end I have had for a while How it was ![]() Stripped down ![]() Front removed ![]() Rear end changed ![]() So all being well I should be back working on the truck in a couple of weeks as I will be collecting my prop shaft from Andy at the swop meet on the 20th of March .

Thanks
Thank you Don , the inner panel and rear light are some of the parts you stored at your shop for about 8 months till we came over to do the road trip .

Re: Martin's mi-STRESS, 1965 Long Fleetside C10 "Rebuild in ENGLAND"
Bike looks great. hope it passed the test. from talking to you and others in England that MOT inspection is tough and has a lot more requirements than the ones over here. Here its… lights-check, wipers-check, OK, good to go. Arkansas dropped the inspection process all together because the actual shops doing the inspection would have to spend to much time and made like 2 bucks. slowly there were fewer shops willing to work for nothing, go figure. i think Texas still has inspections but i don't think many other states do anymore.
It will be good to see you back on the truck… what did you get at the swap meet? |

Clem they have inspections in NC and they check a lot more stuff here . and if your check engine light is on you cant get a license plate .. inspection costs $30 add $10 if you have tint on your windows . |

Re: Martin's mi-STRESS, 1965 Long Fleetside C10 "Rebuild in ENGLAND"
Thanks Clem . Yes it did pass it helps when the MOT inspector has a 59 Chevy truck . Let's just say I should have fitted the full size number plate and the standard exhaust get it tested and then come home and swap it all back over and that's every year unless you know the MOT guy (but I never said the last bit )
60chevyjim if you have any of the warning lights on then it's a fail over here too . The cost is £30 about $50 for a bike mot test Thanks donny it's a lot of hard work keeping it looking good Well the swop meet was ok I got a few parts for the truck Notice the missing part ![]() Problem solved after meeting up with Andy (uber cool ) ![]() I also got a heater matrix and a thermostat housing ![]() I also picked up some grease , some. Autosol and a polishing wheel for the drill ![]() Owning a Harley you use a lot of autosol , and at some point I need to polish the slot mags so the buffing wheel should help .
