Alan, if you can wait till Monday I will measure the holes in my bed sides as well but I am leaving for my reserve weekend so I won't be home till Monday.

The 45* inverted flare is what is typical on factory brake and fuel lines on the non-metric vehicles. The 37* flare is used with AN (JIC) style fittings.

Mar-k sent the ribbed carriage bolts. Great customer service. I've never seen them before, thought I would pass along the info.

Not much going on here. Just tinkering a little. Thanks for the motivation. I need to get something going again.

Here are the deminsions on my bedside. I'm curious if everyone has these holes I marked. I'm going to forward this to Mar-K

I'll bet if we gave you the chance you could could fix the economy.

jgh64pkup · 10-06-2009, 10:40 PM

hmm ribbes caraige bolts
i wonder if they work any better

1964C10 · 10-07-2009, 09:47 AM

I have used them before in other wood applications and they work really well but they are unforgiving in over tightening. The ribbed portion will strip without much warning that you are going too far. Just make sure you drill the hole the correct diameter and if there is a little too much room I have put waterproof wood glue on the ribs so that it fills in the cracks of the wood nicely for better grip. Of course that was in a place were I knew I would never need to take them lose again. Can't wait to see your pictures!

Good info on the installation precautions.

Alan - I've never seen fasteners like those before - they look 1st class.

They do look cool.

Not much to report, but do have a question. Is it possible to rename a thread. I didn't do a search, but did look on the user CP. I'll go do a search now. I want to rename it to "Project Vitamin C-10".

ruffrida2005 · 10-11-2009, 06:01 PM

Yes you can Alan, I had mine changed. Just PM 63-64 and he can take care of you. Just let him know the new name that you want it to be. and a link to yours now.

FYI, I have disassembled several 4-5-6 Chevy truck beds and several of them used the ribbed carriage-head bolts at the wear strips. Many times, the ribbed carriage-heads had to be beat out of the wear strip, to remove them.

Isn't is nice when a vendor/supplier is a part of the solution and not part of the problem? Mar-K has gotten my business in the past and they will continue to get it in the future.

All this name changing is really confussing. I thought you had another build going that I was'nt aware of. It was'nt untill page 36 when I started thinking I've seen this truck somewhere before.

What's up with the new name?

Strodder · 10-12-2009, 09:58 PM

Dave, Allan is just keeping you on your toes.

daverod · 10-12-2009, 10:03 PM

As if I don't have enough to worry about.

Now I have to go find his build for his 55. What was it called ? He probley changed that to somthing different too.

Thanks Tony for the info. It's only a few places that they will be used for now.

I wanted to change the name because there are several builds that the titles are really very similar. When I joined this forum I had no idea that I would still be here posting. (Love this place) It was time for a change since the truck has a name now.

Love the new name Alan, but like the others I had to do a double take for a second before I realized what you did hahaha. You realize though that a new cooler name isn't going to make it any faster ;-)
