Re: Martin's mi-STRESS, 1965 Long Fleetside C10 "Rebuild in ENGLAND"
Well today I had a day off to get a little truck time in . The first thing I had to do was clear the garage, so I could get the cab out as it was at the back . The problem was it only had three wheels on the trolly it was on , because when it was pushed into the garage last time the back wheel on the trolly broke .
So the first thing I did was to repair the broken wheel by changing all four with taller and stronger wheels ![]() I then tried lifting it back onto the trolly boy these cabs are heavy lifting on your own . Luckily Rian called me to ask how I was getting on . I told him I was strugerling , he said he wad on his way out to collect something and he would call in on the way back as he also wanted to borrow my Sandblaster . Well we managed to get the cab on the new trolly once again my bike lift came in handy ![]() All rolled back into the garage ready for me to roll out and do the dash removal , then it will be loaded onto the trailer and taken to the Sandblasters , to be blasted and primed . With the Mercedes now gone and the money going in the truck fund its back on track ![]() Tomorrow Paul y is coming over to borrow my engine crane . Then over to Rian's in the afternoon for a barbecue so the truck will have to wait till Sunday

Re: Martin's mi-STRESS, 1965 Long Fleetside C10 "Rebuild in ENGLAND"
Ahhhh yes, arent you glad I am a scavenger....?
Those wheels came from the yard last year. And I have to say, having pushed the cab about on both sets of wheels, the new ones are a real pleasure. I see you have not mentioned why you are coming over......... Oooopps... You did. May be a good thing, otherwise we get run over by hungry people. Pity the likes of Paul, Brandon, Don, Clem, John, Bill, Greg and others cannot make it. ![]()

Re: Martin's mi-STRESS, 1965 Long Fleetside C10 "Rebuild in ENGLAND"
I know every time I speak to Paul he mentions cutting down my chassis to turn it into a short bed then do a BBW conversion . Well if I did all that I would never get it finished , SO LETS GET THIS STRAIGHT I WANT IT FINISHED AS I MISS DRIVING IT ......... It also means I have an excuse to build another one when its finished .

Looking really good Martin, glad to see the bed sides came in. Thank you for the Built not Bought plate. So I guess I have until the end of 2017 to finish.

Re: Martin's mi-STRESS, 1965 Long Fleetside C10 "Rebuild in ENGLAND"
Today started early , I need to use my next door neighbours trailer , unfortunately he had loaded the trailer with some old furniture that he was getting rid of . So after breaking up the furniture I put it in the back of my car and took it to the local tip , it's easier than taking the trailer there . So once that was done I went over to Rian's friend Kevins , to collect some paving slabs for my garden project . After all this running around it was lunch time .
Then the proper work started . TRUCK TIME ........... First I pushed it out of the garage (these new wheels are great on the trolley thanks Rian) ![]() The first job was to remove the old sound deadening pads ![]() Wow it's amazing the difference between two cabs of the same age . All the sound deadening pads removed ![]() Next job was to remove the old dash . The radio was fitted by a blind man with a chainsaw I think ![]() Dash all removed ![]() New dash in place that I removed from my old cab ![]() After that job was done I filled in the gas filler hole . ![]() ![]() ![]() Next job will be to fill in the hole in the transmission hump , and then remove and clean up the brackets for the gas tank . It's great to be working back on the truck , and not a bad afternoons work .

You did incredibly good yesterday Martin.
That's a lot of progress. Once you get it blasted and primered....... You will be unstoppable.
