Re: 1970 C30 Car hauler Buildish thread.
Unfortunately No real progress has been made on the truck. I've been busy redoing the bead roller. The forward and reverse switch broke a few years ago and I have been wanting to finish it for a while now, That and I needed to make a table for it, it keeps leaving scratch marks when I make a turn.
![]() I made a table out of leftover scraps. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() I made some stand off to mount the table ![]() I started tearing it down, I built it 9 or 10 years ago when I only had a cheap stick welder and just started to learn to weld, I warped it really bad and had to put it in a press to fix it. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() I ended up redoing the reinforcements ![]() ![]() ![]() Added some die holders. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Ready for paint. I was going to paint it the same color of the truck but I ended up finding some left over paint I used on the engine in a rat rod I had build a few years ago. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() I started making a enclosure for the electronics ![]() ![]() ![]() |

Re: 1970 C30 Car hauler Buildish thread.
Wow! You have a lot of time in that bead roller and it is sweet! I really like your garden area too. My wife wants to do another garden this year. We had an area tilled and I'm glad we didn't plant anything yet. It keeps dipping below freezing here still. Keep up the great work!

Re: 1970 C30 Car hauler Buildish thread.
Thanks! Unfortunately this will probably be the last update for a while as i'm getting ready to have replacement hip surgery in a few hours.
Not much progress has been made, I cut another hole in the cab, It goes from my switch panel to the box that the air compressors sit in. I will be wiring up a six way relay box that will be going inside of the box it will control the air compressors, the roof rack lights, rear light bar, the tie down bed lights, Maybe an air horn or something? ![]() ![]() ![]() stripped the switch panel down for paint. ![]() relocated the tab to clear the gauges, ![]() Painted ![]() gauges and switches installed ![]() |

Jarrod good luck with your hip surgery. Where did you get your wheels? Also are you running a steel inside dual?

That said the wheels are off ebay, One was a return with a few scratches that I got for half price! and I ordered the other from the same seller. You can also find them on amazon https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07RJZK4X7...v_ov_lig_dp_it Thank you, I really appreciate that! I sure need it, my hip is doing good so far but I went in to get my staples out yesterday and they gave me the second covid shot while i was there, and man I feel worse than I did when I first got out of sugary.

Re: 1970 C30 Car hauler Buildish thread.
QUOTE>>>>>>>Thanks, Well if my body would quit falling apart, I would have had it finished by now lol, back surgery 2019, 2020 hip surgery, now getting a full hip replacement in a month or so don't have a date yet, with my luck I'll have to have a knee done next year lol. at the moment I am only able to work 2-3 hours a day at most before I can no longer stand. I will probably be down a few months between the surgery and physical therapy. So i'm hoping to get this side done so I can get started on the other side so I can get the truck out of the garage before my surgery.
Buddy, I know what your going through, it kills me that I only get a couple yours in a day. Same situation, numerous back surgerys from 2012 to current, I have 3 rods in my back fusing my spine to my pelvis. I cant bend for **** and when I do i get the Ole sciatica pain doesn't play nice. I sit in a chair most the time it seems. That being said your build is pretty badass and your doing a great job. i Hope your doing well and continue to do so.... don't push it too hard. its very easy to hurt yourself further, just by lifting too much or twisting wrong and set you back further. Ask me how I know. |

Re: 1970 C30 Car hauler Buildish thread.
That's looking really nice! I hope the hip upgrade is going well. My Dad just got his replaced and they had to replace the whole thing. He's been struggling but getting through it.

Re: 1970 C30 Car hauler Buildish thread.
Nice views from the tritoon. We are running out of good weather to do stuff like that now. Nice work on the speakers. That's one thing that usually gets put off just to get a project driving. My Camaro still has no speakers in it. I need to finish that.

Re: 1970 C30 Car hauler Buildish thread.
Nice find on the D80. You should like that a lot better. The 3:54s just work so well behind a 12v. If you decide to sell the HO rear axle I might be interested in it.

The jig ended up working perfectly, Its all the little things that take for ever, that and it doesn't help that Fedex ended up losing some of my brake parts for the axle. I installed a pair of Speedi-Sleeves on the axle but they where to long I had to trim them to fit. Not sure If your supposed to but It worked out. ![]() ![]() ![]() I rounded it over so it doesn't cut the seals. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Well..... Waiting on brake parts I finally decided to install the mirrors. So I have be trying to decide on what to do about the mirrors for a few years now. I like the way west coast tow mirrors look but the idea of drilling all those holes in the dor and then in a few year then starting to rust I just could not bring my self to do it. The and I need the mirrors to fold out of the way as I park it in the lower half of our barn and its narrow.
