That's good! I've been slacking here lately.
I need something to spur me on.

Not exactly what I had in mind, But thanks.
tantrumpipeline and me were pretty much neck and neck on our builds.
It was helping to push me, Or should I say "kick me in the a$$" on mine.

Re: 68 C 10 stepside "My American Bulldog"

Looks like some good finds. Hate I missed it, but would have been a long drive for me with bad weather. Wonder what tomorrow would be like? Usually sunday is kind of slow and with this bad weather some might have left early.

Re: 68 C 10 stepside "My American Bulldog"

i am guessing no bow tie in the grille and the little inserts that are rivited in the grille and hen that means no parking lights in the grille hence them being in the headlights.....

Re: 68 C 10 stepside "My American Bulldog"

I photoshopped and antiqued this picture to get the look I'm going for.
I'm still not 100% on a color, But this is my latest thoughts

Re: 68 C 10 stepside "My American Bulldog"

Tonight, I finished my tranny.
I started out with new clutches, Steels,
Seals, And gaskets.

Then I added a shift kit, Modified the baseplate,
Reworked the vales, New sprigs, And modified the
torque converter plate.

Gave it a fresh coat of paint, And added some billet goodies.

It was a long day!

Re: 68 C 10 stepside "My American Bulldog"

very nice! That looks great and should perform even better! Where did you get the pan and flywheel cover from? Skip white or somewhere else?

Thanks Rick, I think it took as long to clean the pig,
As it took to rebuild it.
