Re: My Dusty 71 GMCe Electruck
so lessons learned by doing any project any "build" the devil's in the details and you can get 80% of the big stuff done in 3 weeks and then spend months chasing the small stuff, so here we go, lets get it
I think it's a good idea to have a brake and an emergency brake before taking Electron for a spin around the block just in case things get exciting so the new transmission seems to be longer than the TH350 or at least that's how it sits under the cab, so The Greg needs to extend the parking brake linkage 6" on my '69 the driver side has the adjustable fine threaded rod like so |

Re: My Dusty 71 GMCe Electruck
the other side the texter's side has a fixed length mushroom double headed rod which I decided to cut off one end and welder on a 6" grade 8 bolt with a standard hex head (this head has to be small enuff to fit through the hole / slot in the frame rail)
I think I used the belt and suspenders method on this, where first I weldered up the bolt to the rod, then ground that flat(ish) then slipped the steel sleeve over it and bugger welded that as well |

Re: My Dusty 71 GMCe Electruck
got the new tailgate on, fit great, good quality piece, only trouble was the left (driver side) round hinge thingie had a bit of a slight imperfection in it that we gently persuaded with a punch to get the lower hinge to go smoothly inside it

Re: My Dusty 71 GMCe Electruck
My understanding is that brake fluid is hygroscopic so perhaps that vehicle had been in a flood or sumpin.

Re: My Dusty 71 GMCe Electruck
All the blasting and coating you do makes me want to get a cabinet and an old oven. Blasting and powder is something you can do all winter without worrying if your shop is warm enough to paint in. Or maybe move in next door to you =)

anyway I keep my media blasting cabinet outside so in my case media blasting is not an all year round sport as the media gets moist/wet as far as oven advice see if you can land a larger commercial pizza oven or one of them stackable double deckers that you can start off by using just one half and then join them together to bake longer items as far as moving next door, two words for you: H.O.A.

Re: My Dusty 71 GMCe Electruck
I'm still curious to see if you'll have enough bore and stroke to operate the C-10 brakes effectively

Re: My Dusty 71 GMCe Electruck
yeah, me too, my friend Patrick, our friend Patrick inputed all the measurements and lengths of both the Honda CRV and the C10 into his wrist watch calculator and it spit out that the stroke or piston travel is almost identical, it was identical to the thousandths of an inch
