Funny, in all my trucks I have never had to deal with the carrier bearing thing. I guess always choosing a SWB truck helps eliminate that.

Looking Great!!! Good to see you get some truck time in... Keep ip the good work mate...

That's the best way not to have to change one Bill . It's not a hard job just time consuming.

Thanks Don back on track for a while , next weekend I should be at Rian's . I think Paul's coming over. I can then grab my engine stand if all goes to plan . so I can do the auto box once I get my stand back .

dwcardfan · 03-30-2016, 04:43 PM

Looking good!

Paul Y · 03-30-2016, 05:41 PM

nice job , I love them aluminum center bearing carriers .
I put them in my 59 elcamino and 59 sedan delivery.

I just put one of the original factory style ones in my friend JB's drive shaft today .
I told him to get me 3 new u joints for it while im doing it.
im trying to finish his chassis this weekend so I can start on the cab next week

I love the colour of that dark blue truck at wheels day. What paint did you use on the prop? has a great shine to it, is it Por15?

Hi Andy , the paint I used for the prop , was a small tin I got from my mums shed . It has a great finish and it didn't need primer .

This is it

Not much of an update as I have a lot going on . I had to work Saturday so I got a little time in the garage on Sunday .

So far during the week I got the box painted now I have my engine stand back .

So on Sunday morning I flipped it over and fitted the new filter .

The old style filter

The new one fitted

New sump fitted and I also fitted a Ron Francis Transmission Neutral Safety Switch

Way to Martin, you are making great progress.

Work always gets in way of doing what we would rather be doing.

flashed · 04-10-2016, 07:57 PM

Looking good .

Ta2Don · 04-10-2016, 08:26 PM

Great work Mate!!! Good to see ya get some Truck Time in...

disasterbus · 04-11-2016, 05:01 PM

great progress buddy, that's really starting to take shape

**Palf70Step** · 04-11-2016, 06:19 PM

I feel like an idiot. After alll these years of wrestling with automatic trannys on the floor, I see your brilliant idea of using the engine stand

to make it nice and easy to work with.

uber cool · 04-13-2016, 10:15 AM

a sump plug, yippee. Why didnt they put these in from day one, never figured that out?

I have a early th350 that came with a factory drain plug ,
they stopped putting them in to be cheap .

ibrown50 · 04-14-2016, 02:23 AM

Tranny looks great Martin.

That's a very helpful warning on the tin too, next time you're feeling thirsty in the garage you'll know not to drink that paint

**clemdaddy** · 04-14-2016, 06:20 AM

agree on the chassis and tranny work… top flight Martin.

Grizz1963 · 04-22-2016, 04:32 PM

Just had Martin over to pick up some bits for Ian Brown.

He also brought along the new dual filament LED lamps he had bought for the back up lights, we in the UK of course have to use Amber lamps for indicators, and they ideally should be separate from our rear lights.

Testing them, the amber is bright enough.

The eye searingly bright 50 watt white lamps will make great backup lights as both of us reverse into our properties.

Simply put, they fit in the new units I bought.

Biggest problem will be finding some replacement twin filament sockets to take the new LED lamps.

Has anyone else done this switch before?

mjh1965 · 04-25-2016, 05:41 PM

Well this weekend I had to clear out my shed . Ready for the garage I purchased a while back . I managed to get most of the panels into the little shed .

In the process of sorting it all out , I decided to pass on some of the parts one of them being the gas tank from inside the cab . After speaking to Rian he told me Pete one of the guys in the UK needed one so Rian gave him a call and he then rang me to say thanks , and arrange collection .

There are quite a few C10s over in the Uk now and most of the guys are on this board . Best of all we are all helping each other .

Best place to make mates I have ever found. My closest friend I met on here and we only live 6 miles from each other in the same town.

Chevy Apache · 04-25-2016, 06:02 PM

Spoke to really nice guy's on here we are all in the same boat trucks away

flashed · 04-25-2016, 05:46 PM

Just the way it should be ,helping each other is fun too.

Grizz1963 · 05-19-2016, 05:08 PM

Photo bucket is being a pain in the gearbox.....

Martin, over to you.

Now tell the good people what you did...

Thanks Rian

Well when I got home tonight I got a little truck time in . My next door neighbour Trevor came around and gave me a hand . First we fitted new seals ( thanks Ian Brown )

Then the flex plate was fitted . The box was then fitted into place so at long last the truck is back on track .

With the Mercedes Passing the MOT . The new owner all being well is planing to collect it at the end of the month . So all being well I plan to get the cab down to the Sandblasters to be blasted and primed . So at long last the truck is back on track .

Sunday I plan on going to Rian's to give him a hand with his truck .
