Re: Martin's mi-STRESS, 1965 Long Fleetside C10 "Rebuild in ENGLAND"
Great job mate.
Next up...... a pair of gates. To put perspective for those not familiar with UK properties, the drive is real narrow, so Martin reverses in, stops at the point under the carport where he can open his door, gets out into his neighbors property through the sliding fence panel, leaves the truck in neutral and then just pushes it back to the rear gate, adds a small block of wood to the front wheel, shuts the side panel, and once the gates are in place, he will be able to close the gates and shut in his adopted sons motorbike in front of the truck. I am really impressed with the result today. Of course the supports under the rail need to be completed, and he will be adding a window section above the panels to reduce the weather gettting into the carport.

Hi Rian if you notice I have already fitted a panel under the runner section after you left . The gates will be fitted when you get a chance to come and help me ( hint hint ) Martin

Re: Martin's mi-STRESS, 1965 Long Fleetside C10 "Rebuild in ENGLAND"
Hi lowlife4life .
The guy with the turquoise 63 imported it already done . As for the steering wheel I got that from Autonets on eBay they were very helpful . When the column arrived the hazard switch was faulty . I sent them an email and they replied very quickly and sent me a replacement switch all the way to the UK free of charge within a week . |

Nice thing about customer service is that it generates more business. Martin should be along later with more good news

Re: Martin's mi-STRESS, 1965 Long Fleetside C10 "Rebuild in ENGLAND"
Well....... What does $170.00 buy in England ?? (that is £100.00)
I think a lot of envy....... Martin got a door for his truck today.

Re: Martin's mi-STRESS, 1965 Long Fleetside C10 "Rebuild in ENGLAND"
Well just an update
Due to the rust on the bottom of my doors, there were a few options Get new pattern doors or second hand, the trouble with this option is cost getting them shipped to the uk doubles the price . My only option was to get repair panels so onto the computer I went . Rock autos web site gives you the full cost including shipping and duty into the uk . So ordered them on Sunday £201.63 and they arrived Thursday very impressed The bottom of my door The new panels The garage is getting full of parts so won't be long before I can start the strip down Martin |

Re: Martin's mi-STRESS, 1965 Long Fleetside C10 "Rebuild in ENGLAND"
Yes Don my garage is starting to look like a Chevy parts shop . My plan is to try and get as many parts as I can before I start the strip down . The trouble is I enjoy driving it so I want to minimise the time it's of the road

Just another update
The company over here in the Uk have sent me an update on my gas tank . After doing all my home work it worked out a lot cheaper getting one made here than having one shipped so here is a picture |

AAAAAHHHHH YES...... Your door. I think I was sickened by the fact that you scored a great door for $167.00 when I was left with only £40.00 in my pocket. Looking forward to going on a road trip with you next Saturday to deepest darkest Essex where people have 6 toes and webbed feet, while playing Banjo's in the shade of a tree to fetch your hood/bonnet you bought for your truck. PS: The gates actually came out really good and once closed up at the top, were even better. Now get the wood preserver paint and your finger out .

Re: Martin's mi-STRESS, 1965 Long Fleetside C10 "Rebuild in ENGLAND"
Well what a good weekend Saturday myself and Rian managed to get my gates that I purchased from eBay cut down and hung
The gates Due to the size of the opening in the carport not being standard the gates had to be cut down Once cut down the first gate was hung Then the second one was hung Rian then joined the two parts together he is better with wood than steel Once joined the next stage was to make a frame to close off the top All ready for next weekend to get the UPVC fitted to the top of the doors so as to enclose the carport so as to have a safe and secure place to work on the truck |

The door isn't the only thing I got at the swap meet I also found a complete cab mounting kit for £30 about $50 . I also got a holly fuel pump with regulator as well as a fuel filter.
