Re: Our new 69C10 project

Everything looks to be coming together! My son is home over spring break. If you're around we will try to swing by to meet you and the boys...and see the truck. Very, very nice job you all are doing.
PS It would be great to have a Portland/NW get together to meet and see some great trucks!

Best of all I have room in the shop thanks to this forum and everyone helping us get the extra parts out of here, almost all our extra parts are gone and I can move a bit now.
Wow Truck is looking Great..Way to go boys....What are you using for wire covering, and did you use it on the firewall rain gutter....Ed.

Re: Our new 69C10 project

After a long day of shims, die grinders, cut fingers and cuss words (sorry boys) starting to look like a truck again. Some more work on final alighnment but the doors and body lines look great.

Re: Our new 69C10 project

Now we just need to figure out how to get the right back spacing from the front bumper to the grill, its about 3/4 off from sided to side with the spacing on the top of the bumper between the ends of the grill. It was the same when I removed the old cab, so I know its not the cab or fenders, I think its the bumper brackets, so we will try a little massaging and snap a few more pics so we can set the new cowl hood in place. Thanks for all the positive support!

Re: Our new 69C10 project

Ok, we fixed our bumper spaceing, it was an easy one, just loosen everything and shift with a bit of enlongation of one hole and then mounted the cowl, wipers, antenna, washer bottle and fixed a few little things. Heres a few more pics.
