Re: Martin's mi-STRESS, 1965 Long Fleetside C10 "Rebuild in ENGLAND"
Well just a quick update
This morning I went to collect a parcel from the post office . What had arived was my rear camera . The 1969-72 rear bumper has extra holes that they used to hang them on when they chrome plate them . So myself and Rian have been looking for different solutions to fill the holes .my solution is this . If all goes well I will order a second one for aspheric reasons only ![]() The plan is to build somthing similar to house my double din stereo , with a rear view camera facility on it ![]() BUT BEST OF ALL I got an email this evening to inform me that my panels have arrived in Florida at the shippers . They have arived in time to make the container leaving on the 14th . So it's a Big thank you to DeWayne at Nsanehotrodz for promising to get them there by the 14th so now it's just a case of waiting for the ship to arrive . ![]()

Great service has to be shared and commended.
Really pleased the panels are moving that fast. Rear camera will be a neat trick.

Re: Martin's mi-STRESS, 1965 Long Fleetside C10 "Rebuild in ENGLAND"
Well Thursday night , Rian and Stephen came over , to give me and my neighbour Trevor a hand to load my cab onto his trailer . First I had to move the bikes , then the chassis to make way for the cab to be rolled through the carport .
The cab being rolled up the drive by myself , Stephen and Trevor . Note Rian had to hold the phone to take the pictures . ![]() Then it was loaded onto the trailer , notice no photos as it took all four to lift it on . Ready to take it after work on Friday to the blasters . I Did think about tying my Rottweiler to it over night in case Ian or Bill sneaked down from up north to grab it . ![]() ![]() Before any comments , yes I know it's on the back of a FORD and it couldn't tow a complete one . All being well I should get it back by next Saturday . Then the real work will start a few repairs on the cab the YES reassemble . I have been so looking forward to this point

It's important to recognize your skills profiles - Grizz does photo's and witty and informative commentary, you do lifting heavy stuff
![]() Joking apart, great progress, must be a great feeling to be entering the 'putting it back together' stage. |

I am always surprised how the photos I take, end up in people's build threads ![]() Looking at the slight incline if the drive, I just need to clarify that I actually did help push it up the first part and then stepped back to take the photos. These threads and pics are for the entertainment of many of us, and the education of others, we learn from each other. Anyway, Martin has delivered the cab now, next up we will see it painted in the lairiest of Kawazaki Geens to burn the eyeballs off most of us.

I have a friend who is a pro on Photoshop Dale, but he is out the country currently, so when he gets back, he said he would get them done for me in different colours.

Re: Martin's mi-STRESS, 1965 Long Fleetside C10 "Rebuild in ENGLAND"
Orange and cream gets my vote. But then again the green is nice, with maybe the cab roof and side insert satin black

Not sure if you have ever had a black vehicle before.
A black truck will get dusty, dirty inside your shop in hours. I have a black Buick Riviera and never again. |

My experience is by the time you get it back into the shop, black is dirty looking.

Re: Martin's mi-STRESS, 1965 Long Fleetside C10 "Rebuild in ENGLAND"
Did you consider black with (harley-davidson) orange insert? Maybe too Halloweeny?
I've always been a fan of orange with white two tone on these trucks. That was my plan originally, but the light blue on my truck has kind of grown on me.

Re: Martin's mi-STRESS, 1965 Long Fleetside C10 "Rebuild in ENGLAND"
No problem Johnny , that does look a good combo . If I go down the two tone route, I still don't know if I prefer the roof and back of the cab in a ditterent colour but leave the doors and around the screen in the main colour . Two many choices , the roof only on the white does look good in you picture though

Re: Martin's mi-STRESS, 1965 Long Fleetside C10 "Rebuild in ENGLAND"
Well I thought I'd try out my camera I purchased from eBay , so tonight after I got home I wired up my stereo , on my dining room table ( the joy of living on your own ) and then wired up the rear view camera . The result was very good and should make reversing into the tight place the truck lives in a lot easier .
![]() The main reason for doing this is , I wanted to check it worked before leaving feedback and recommending it to anybody else .
