Re: 66 c10 first timer build
Hey guys im to the point of putting my metal sleeved bushings in my trailing arms. Does any body have a good way to do it before i possibly damage them trying to get them in. Or do they have little clamp presses at the local auto parts store i could use?

Re: 66 c10 first timer build
well i havent had a hole lot of time lately but i did get both my trailing arms cleaned up and primed. i also got a bushing in one. i cleaned the crap out of one then took them to the car wash to try to blast any thing else off and while i was there i sprayed the one i hadnt cleaned yet just to help the process. they last pic is my paint booth, its a pully system we have in the trees to raise and lower a poll we throw kegs over.

Re: 66 c10 first timer build
yea, i cant seem to sell it. I got a guy that keeps talking to me about it but he just hasnt bought it yet. well after i paint those trailing arms i will start on the rear end. Ive already cleaned up but it has been sitting out side so i got alot of surface rust on it. im also going to go threw the brake compents put new brake pads on and maybe new cyclinders. I saw on here somewhere where a guy bought new e-brake cables from napa, i will try to get those too. i was wanting to buy a new diferintial cover but with money tight i might just paint it the same as the frame and keep the rest of the axle black. i dont know yet, any input?

Re: 66 c10 first timer build
So once i put my rearend back on im moving to the motor install and all the plumbing. But i was wondering if i could keep the origanal motor brackets for the 327 i got. And just by new rubber mounts. Does that work? It seems like every ome changes to a tubular mount is that just cosmetic or a.must for header clearence?

Re: 66 c10 first timer build
You can denfintely just buy new OEM style motor mounts. There isn't any issues with header clearence as long as you use a truck specific header. There are about 3 different headers that will work in these trucks. I'm not sure why so many people buy the tubular CPP/POL motor mount brackets. I guess it's a looks thing.

Re: 66 c10 first timer build
Yea to all. Ive been in the process of getting our new house squared away and all yhe great things that come along with that! Anyways we dont have our computer up and going yet so i dont know how to post pics from my phone.
I have still been working on the truck thow. I opened up my rearend to see what gears i had and i have 3.73s so i took it to the local shol and had them make it a posi. I also bought a nice new shiny aluminum cover. But anyways i bolted on all my rearend and suspinsion components and i was wondering what the torq specs on all that stuff is or do i just tighten the crap out of it? Any help would be great. Pics will be coming soon once we get internet at the hiuse. Posted via Mobile Device |

What is that (I assume is) rear bumper hanging on your wall? Man that would look cool flipped upside down and used as a grill with head lights mounted in the wells.....
