In the shop last night getting all polished up for this weekend. Car cruise tomorrow night, car show sat during the day, car beach cruise sat night and car show Sunday about an hour south of me. Sylvester is ready I just have to figure out which aones I am going to since I am not wasting the whole weekend with car stuff because kids and wife made plans for something I am sure.

Nice build great truck. Can you post a picture of your lower radiator hose? I have the same pulley set up, which looks like it caused a clearance issue with the lower hose. Thanks

Re: Al's 71C10 Rebuild

How's it going Big Al..Long time since I checked in on the board. The truck is looking real good. The choice of wheels was excellent. How is the baby. I hope he is in good health. Mine working on 6 months, 18 pounds 12 oz, 27 inches. He can't wait to walk an tear up the house like his brothers. My 72 is on pause for now. My wife got her hours cut back, so I have to be more consertative with the truck money. Priorities man. Take care and good to see your truck is looking sharp. Mister E

I went to a little bit of hell trying to figure out what to use my friend who did almost all the work figured it out, we bought a hose from advance auto and then cut it. Here is the part number he used,,,(E) 71040 $12.99
I will take a pict of it and post it for you..

Jackson's a stud. Two teeth huh. None of those on Julian..good thing too since momma is still breast feeding. So your looking at air ride or coil over...May as well go air all around and give her the stance the situation calls for. I'm not saying to lay frame but just that 6 /8 drop that we cant get awat with using a static drop. MisterE
Here is a current pic of Julian.

I spent about an hour shinning this old paint job up and I think it came out pretty nice. I am too old to be doing all this manual labor
