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.

Re: Martin's mi-STRESS, 1965 Long Fleetside C10 "Rebuild in ENGLAND"
Well two updates .
First of all as some of you know I have had a change in my circumstances . After returning from my road trip in October. I had a long discussion with Amanda and we decided to call it a day . That's why some of you may have noticed the considerable lack of truck time . Well last weekend , Amanda and her son Michael moved out , and took her two Staffordshire bull terriers with her . I will probably have to work till I am 70 to pay back the mortgage I needed to pay Amanda off . One of the reasons I wanted to stay where I am is it's quiet peaceful well when I'm not making a noise anyway , and with this on my door step to walk my dog Bow and the Labrador Max that was Michael's dog left behind to keep Bow company. ![]() ![]() Well I would also like to thank Rian for helping me the last two weekends . His help has also prevented him from getting on with his truck . Last Sunday he helped me in the house with some DIY . I think this was a great shot and worthy of a caption ![]() Now onto the important stuff back on the truck well the auto box is ready to go back onto the engine , but first of all I had to remove a broken stud . The broken stud ![]() Next I managed to get a nut to stay on the last threads ![]() I then welded the middle up ![]() Then I just used a spanner to undo it ![]() The engine is now ready for the box to be refitted. ![]() This weekend I have to sort out my Mercedes getting a new MOT as I have a buyer for it . This will enable me to carry working and getting the parts to finish the truck . I call it prioritising some may call it madness . ![]()

Re: Martin's mi-STRESS, 1965 Long Fleetside C10 "Rebuild in ENGLAND"
theres a really good side to this… sell hairdresser car, buy truck parts... inherit really cool dogs, get rid of fufu dogs… stay in the shop you got, build an engine on the kitchen table… you got your job, and you're damn good at it… sometimes, freedom is good
rock on bro. |

Re: Martin's mi-STRESS, 1965 Long Fleetside C10 "Rebuild in ENGLAND"
Martin, too bad about your situation, but there's no point staying together if both parties aren't into the relationship. Better to separate and be happy. Unfortunately, that usually includes a hefty financial penalty. Good luck, and all the best!
It does kinda sound like Clem is on to something... ![]()

Hi Martin, as they say, "love is grand, separation is a hundred grand".
I agree entirely with Clem sell the hair dressers car, buy truck parts sounds good to me. Pleased you've turned the corner, things will get better form now.

Thanks Colin he is at the moment going around France then Portugal and it's going to take him at least a year, as he will go via the Caribbean . He sails for two or three weeks at a time . He then flies home to run his business and check everything is ok at home . He has a very understanding wife .

Looking good Martin, those motorcycle lifts are so handy, I use mine all the time for pretty much everything except lifting motorcycles

Re: Martin's mi-STRESS, 1965 Long Fleetside C10 "Rebuild in ENGLAND"
Thanks to Mr Grumpy for coming over today to bring my treasures and also to help me tie up the front end of my truck.
One thing to share is this little bit of genius Martin employs every day in his day job. Marking both where he has been (his marking colour is Yellow) and where he has completed a job, he paints the nuts and bolts on their ends to show they were checked and completed. In the case of my truck, I got some red nail varnish from Nicola to mark up all the nuts and bolts, plus split pins I have previously tied down and the rest we did today. Ohhh, and it looks Purdy. ![]() Thank you for the guidance mate.
