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 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 ![]() ![]() |

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 |

Re: Martin's mi-STRESS, 1965 Long Fleetside C10 "Rebuild in ENGLAND"
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.

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 Rian came over this morning to give me a hand to fit my bonnet (hood) to you guys
Taking the old one off we found one of the bolts was totally the wrong thread and just forced in . Hope this isn't a start of things to come . The strip down will start after the Easter holidays . Myself and Rian are going to take the trucks to a local show on Easter Sunday and Monday . That will be its last outing before I strip it down to the chassis and bolt all the new parts I have purchased through the winter . Now our clocks have gone foward and the weather is getting better it's light when I get home from work so work can start Hood stripped off ![]() I like this as my rottie is guarding the front as our other dogs come out to see what's going on ![]() Hood all fitted ![]() This is the wrong bolt used in the old hood ![]() |
