Re: 65 C10 Family Connection
Popped the original windshield out as it was delaminated and broken. I was pleasantly surprised to find zero rust.
I was laughing to myself when I looked at the tag on the replacement windshield. I have been hoarding parts for a while. I found the receipt for the windshield when I got it from The Filling Station, in 2003... Does that make it a vintage part?? |

This is a great build. I wish more people would start using the "Rate this Thread" so that threads like this get the 5 stars they deserve.

I have a pair of new axle shafts that have extra long splines and are intened to be cut to length. Maybe not as trick as having axles custom made, but still useable for what I am wanting to do. I will make the cuts to the axle housing so as the pinion will be centered not the pumpkin. I need to keep the driveshaft away from nearby bits. |
