gdavis · 12-11-2013, 01:38 PM

tired today spent the nite in the emergency room last night. My wife had a serious problem with vertigo. so maybe soon I can do something.

sduckworth13 · 12-11-2013, 02:48 PM

Hope she gets to feeling better George. My stepdad went last week to the hospital for the same thing. He had a inner ear infection causing the vertigo.

swamp rat · 12-11-2013, 11:16 PM

I have suffered with Vertigo numerous times in the past in the last 7 years, all the Dr.s say is do eye exercises and maybe try laying on your back then roll to one side and get back up again. Its been difficult at times but somehow i have been able to manage it so far.

I wish your wife well and hope she to finds ways to cope, i know its not fun to deal with.

gdavis · 12-12-2013, 11:42 AM

thanks guys I am hoping she will be able to cope with it also.

gdavis · 12-12-2013, 07:00 PM

Today, I picked up some paint strainers and 2-K auto primer and seam sealer and hardner for the 2-K primer

I am hopeing to seal seal my cab rain gutter tomorrow. 27.95 a tube for the seam sealer. What a buy?????????

gdavis · 12-13-2013, 07:04 PM

Today I sanded the rain gutters and primed them for the seam sealier.
I also applied the seam sealier to the rain gutter.
I repaired the weld burns on the drivers side door. It was welded from the inside for the mirrow brackets.
also above the fender badges was a small spot that needed some love.

The seals came out real nice. I am really happy the way they came out.

Bomp · 12-14-2013, 03:45 PM

Those seals flowed out real nice and even. Great Job.
Catchin up on your progress. Amazing work.

I ordered my new chrome 105 amp alternator today. Here is the picture of the alternator

You knew there were two different starters, right? To go with the two different diameter flywheels?

I was told that. I ordered the right flex plate with the starter. It works real good. I am happy with the results.

I just wanted to say how much I enjoyed reading about your Patches project. I have a 72 C-10 Suburban that I am slowly working through that has some of the same issues you have dealt with. I had a lot of "aha" moments while reading your posts and the replies to them!

most of these trucks have about the same issues. But we keep grinding and cutting and welding and one day we will have a real nice driver/show truck. good luck with your build and God bless

gdavis · 12-17-2013, 07:34 PM

Didn't do anything on the old girl today. But I did go outside and look at it. Just can't get in the swing of things now. Have too much going on to work on it untill the Holidays are over. maybe tomorrow I will do something.

gdavis · 12-18-2013, 07:02 PM

Today, I painted the pass side rear fender. It came out rather nice. I am planning on painting the other fender Friday.

The weather is a little cool for painting but I cranked up the heater and shot some color on the fender.
When I get the fenders mounted on the bed I am going to under coat the inside of the fenders and the bottom of the wood bed.

Bomp · 12-18-2013, 11:24 PM
