Re: Shop truck build
Sooooo...we've got a situation...
Wayyy back, I kinda told you all about the goofy fella that yanked out my original V6 and dropped in the ole V8...to call him a shoddy mechanic would be very generous and I've been finding all kinds O'surprises...here's the latest...This ole boy excelled at laziness and instead of finding some V8 frame perches, he simply moved the V6 ones and welded them (kinda) in place - would've been too difficult to drill holes... Well, I would certainly like to put the correct perches on the frame...I am not lazy and have been scouring the Netscape for some new perches and I'm'a not findin any... Outside of hitting the junk yard...anybody got any ideas on where a fella could find the frame perches for an 85 C10 350... Either my Google is broken or no one is repopping them... for your viewing pleasure...

Re: Shop truck build
I gotcha. Seems like the wreckers might be a good reference point. Somebody on here has got to have a set they aren't going to use. I'd give you a set but you'd hafta help me pull the motor in my parts truck first, haha.

Re: Shop truck build
I finally found a set of frame/engine perches at an old school junk yard on the east side of Indy (the P&Ps had been thoroughly picked!)
Barlows Used Parts are Rock Stars!

Re: Shop truck build
You might be getting tired of my hearing about these "perches" but it is amazing how one simple part can totally throw off things and grind progress to a halt...
The goofball mechanic that put in the last engine must've had his wife weld in the old perches cause they were much better than any of the other welds on the truck... anyway...they are cleaned up and installed...all that's left to do is everything else...
