Re: Martin's mi-STRESS, 1965 Long Fleetside C10 "Rebuild in ENGLAND"
Nice score on the bed sides, I'm curious about how well they fit. The fenders and core support and grill surround that I got needed a lot of tweaking to work out but maybe the beds are better made.
Doing a great job Martin and we're glad your life has taken a positive turn. Stay after it bro… work is good for us. |

[quote=Grizz1963;7662914]And possibly me...... ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() I think Martin did much better than me at following the advice below. I still find it hard to do so. Hopefully sooner than later I can get back to focusing on the truck build. You'll be back on your truck just like me , once you have sorted your home life out . I had to take a break as you know , but once things are sorted you will be back on track Thanks Bill Quote:
If you can call 4nights in Portugal a girly weekend celebrating her friends birthday whatcha gotta do . It was booked before we even met . But at least I got some truck time in and the U.K. has been as HOT so win win Quote:

Re: Martin's mi-STRESS, 1965 Long Fleetside C10 "Rebuild in ENGLAND"
Well today Rian popped over as I was going to prep and prime my roof . So first I flatted the etch primer put on by the blasters with 180 then 240 grit paper . The next thing was to mast up the roof . But first I back masked the raised edge as to get a heavier mix of primer on the repaired section . Then I moved the paper and shot a thinner coat over the rest of the roof .
![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() So that's this weekend over , and I am happy to say the damaged roof is done so next job is to weld up the holes in the floor then shoot some colour on the inside . I can finally say it's going back together . Thanks to Rian for taking the photos

Re: Martin's mi-STRESS, 1965 Long Fleetside C10 "Rebuild in ENGLAND"
you're another one showing us that you don't need a fancy shop all decked out in order to build what you want. Just a desire and some ingenuity go a long way. really enjoying following your build

Re: Martin's mi-STRESS, 1965 Long Fleetside C10 "Rebuild in ENGLAND"
Looking really nice! Those new bedsides are very very nice! Did you throw away the old ones yet Martin? Looking for a small repair section at the back,was going to use filler, but metal is better!
Keep up the good work, you may still get it on the road by the ne of summer! Danny |

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"
Well I went to look on my thread and noticed its on page six so I better update what's been going on . Unfortunately not much has been done to the truck . I am waiting on an anti roll bar ( sway bar ) and the mount brackets to arrive .
The rest of the time I have been so busy sorting out my house and getting my internet working five visits from my supplier finally got it sorted As for what's been happening my dog ripped his crucial ligament in his back leg so I had to empty my conservatory and build up a temporary wall so he only had a small section of garden he was then confined to the small area for eight weeks . ![]() So with all this going on the last thing I needed was what happened next . On a ride over to Sally's I hit somthing in the road While riding my Harley and I went down the road resulting in two cracked ribs . Resulting in my bike being written off by my insurance company. I on the other hand took a few weeks to mend so no truck time . ![]() ![]() ![]() So with the bike written off and after an argument with insurance company over the value . They paid me out the full amount . So I decided to replace the bike , with a car after having to sell my Mercedes to pay off my ex , and still having another bike to use . I decided to get a Porsche Boxster the funny thing is after looking locally with no success. I found one just outside Glasgow . The best thing was Bill On this forum was not to far away from the car I was going to look at . I purchased two tickets to fly up to Glasgow where Bill met me and Sally at the airport ( Thanks again Bill )I had traded a pedal box that I had posted to him and he gave me the sway bar . He then drove use to collect the car but the sway bar was to big to go in it so it will need to be sent by courier. The car I collected and then had a 450mile drive home ![]() ![]() So after getting back with the car it was time to start packing as two weeks later it was time for my holiday to Cyprus with Sally a long needed break after all that had happened. Driving around in Cyprus in my hire car and in a lot warmer weather than back home ![]() ![]() And chilling out down at the beach for an evening out ![]() And all chilled waiting for another beer ![]() So with all this going on and getting back from holiday with the darker evenings and the cold weather . The body work can't be done as it too cold in the car port , but once I get my sway bar and brackets I will get that fitted . I will soon be finishing off the brake lines and the exhaust as I have two weeks off over the Christmas period. Then roll on Spring .
