Re: Martin's mi-STRESS, 1965 Long Fleetside C10 "Rebuild in ENGLAND"

The reason I only got half a day on the truck was I had planed to go to the ace café in London about a 50 mile trip each way in the afternoon with the other half as it was Harley Davidson day . So bike gear on ready to ride up to London loads of traffic and lots of filtering ( we are aloud to go up the middle of the lanes and filter between the traffic in the Uk ) here are some of the bikes





The ace cafe



And best of all my bike at the ace

Re: Martin's mi-STRESS, 1965 Long Fleetside C10 "Rebuild in ENGLAND"

Are you excited yet Martin ???

5 days and you are off to the USA to shows and trucks and spares.

Hopefully meeting up with Ta2Don and Saless.

I know you are staying in the Celerbration Suites. Old Town Kissimmee inbetween shows etc.


It will be really great if you could meet up with any of the members from this board while you are there.


Have a great time and remember to get my spares too.

Re: Martin's mi-STRESS, 1965 Long Fleetside C10 "Rebuild in ENGLAND"

Well I finally have 10 minuets to upload some of the pictures from my holiday

When I arrived at my hotel, I was informed my parts had arrived in reception. So I loaded them into my rental car and drove round to my room , only to find Don was in the room one over and below mine . So after saying hello to him and his wife myself and Amanda went up. To our room and crashed out after 17hrs getting there .

In the morning I opened all the boxes the first was from POL and it contained my suspension parts



The next box was from LMC and contained all the rubbers and fittings for the doors and front fender seals


Also from LMC was a cab light with a clear lense and the two inner repair panels for under the fenders


The other repair panels for the bottom of the fenders I picked up from Dennis Chevy parts in Tampa

Re: Martin's mi-STRESS, 1965 Long Fleetside C10 "Rebuild in ENGLAND"

While at Dennis Chevy parts I collected my radiator support and two good second hand inner fenders and my stainless steel inner rocker covers and a pair of inner fender seal retainers







And Rian's parts





The inner fenders and radiator support were dropped of to the shippers as they were to big to get in my case

Nice bag(s) of goodies you got there

That's what a vacation/holiday is about....truck parts. (Don't tell my wife. )

It looks as though you had a fun and successful trip. Now get back to work on that truck. Those parts aren't going to install themselves.

Re: Martin's mi-STRESS, 1965 Long Fleetside C10 "Rebuild in ENGLAND"

On our trip to Daytona we saw the same truck as last year as a prize in the raffle . The winner last year took the Corvett instead of the truck





This is the other option for the prize





This is me and the very tolerant Amanda at Daytona beech

While on holiday we went to the NSRA show and I managed to get away with two days there . As I've said before Amanda is very tolerant so the first day we walked around the swop meet and all the stalls . Here are some of the pictures

This was up for $3800 with a non running 305





This was up for the same price a rare factory 3 door

Re: Martin's mi-STRESS, 1965 Long Fleetside C10 "Rebuild in ENGLAND"

Well the strip down has started . Before I went on my holiday I spent a couple of weekends sorting out the electrics in the car port . The reason is when I get home from work it's now dark as the clocks have gone back . So when I got home tonight I spent a couple of hours and stripped out the front suspension . The plan is to strip the front and rear suspension and axel so I can stand the chassis on its side in the garage . Then I can put the cab on its own in the car port and start the rust repairs . Once the cab is repaired with the panels I've acquired over the last few months and brought back from the states on my holiday .



The wish bones ready to be refurbished
