Doing better, finding truck time difficult to come by, but the road trip is just around the corner...

Re: 1963 C-10 in NC
I hear you there. Two jobs and volunteer paramedic work where I can...when I can....two project trucks, couple acres and a wedding around the corner in November. I try and find some time everyday...even if just for 20 minutes....its 20 minutes more work done. And this has been 7 days a week lately. Did get a lot done this weekend on cab prep, but all done by hand is slow going. One of these days I'll get a DA sander for the compressor and save a lot of hand work.

Re: 1963 C-10 in NC
Eastwood sells one that only requires 2.8 CFM so my single stage 60 gal compressor holds up working that DA…

Re: 1963 C-10 in NC
I'll get a larger compressor in the spring but for now im working with a 30gal. Limits my air tool use.

Re: 1963 C-10 in NC
I can sympathize with your 30 gal compressor. I totally wore one out during the first part of my build. I don't know how many hours I lost waiting for air pressure to build back up so I could continue. I can use my new one all day without problems. Wish I could have gotten one sooner.
You're getting a hell of a lot done on your truck considering your schedule. Put's me to shame.

Re: 1963 C-10 in NC
I can't imagine how much more you will get done with a big compressor. There's no way I would be as far as I am without my 60. In my opinion it is the best tool I have ever bought. Second would be the right angle grinder with twist loc discs.
Just food for thought I have the Puma 60 gal 3hp and got it with free shipping for $649 for ACD http://www.aircompressorsdirect.com/...mpressors.html And on top of all that I don't know how you do it with basically 3 jobs. And now I know why you want to be done by November. Bret

I've got the timing down on painting with it, but for a lot of other air tools you have to wait as you said. Also why I just do most of it by hand. Its not a big compressor, but still glad to have it. Thanks for the kind words also!!

Re: 1963 C-10 in NC
I'm trying to figure the phone flipping photo thing out. I may just have to go back to my old way of uploading from the computer!!

Re: 1963 C-10 in NC
As for the phone pics flipping, try and edit the pic before uploading… I rotate pics 360 degrees, Save, and that usually works...

Re: 1963 C-10 in NC
Yeah...when it flips them, I've gone in an edited the pics to rotate 90* to correct....still reflips them when it posts. I'm just going to stick to my old method of downloading to computer then uploading to the forum.

Will do. Spoke with them on the phone and was a very smooth transaction. Looking forward to trying it out.

Re: 1963 C-10 in NC
Didn't make paint this past weekend as planned.....just too many small things I needed to do 1st and spent most of Saturday walking and marking off 40 acres that we hunt on. But....pass door installed....then had to remove due to a broken bolt on install. Ground down, drilled and retapped and reinstalled. Cab removed. Cab sanded down and just some more minor things before primer. Goal is paint Saturday a.m.......as I think we're just about ready now.
