Re: 1969 Short Wide
Oh man that sucks! It sure could have turned out much worse though.

Re: 1969 Short Wide
That sucks man...but like you said, it is a driver. My bed has many scratches already because I use it. A couple weekends and you will have it good as new, your ability is phenomenal brother. Truck is looking beautiful otherwise. I will have to hit you up for advice on the LS swap.

Re: 1969 Short Wide
Man that sucks! But unless you wrap it in bubble wrap things are going to happen. I'd rather get dents, dings and scratches & enjoy driving it than for it to sit in a garage.

Re: 1969 Short Wide
Mike,
That sucks to have that happen to you. I feel for you. I hope you get it back and good to go when you have time. It's beautiful still with the damage but I know it will bother you. I'm sure the pucker factor was high when you saw it coming and couldn't avoid it. I had a similar incident it 1993 with my 1992 mustang coupe competition car! The retread flipped under the air dam and smacked and pulled my 00 power able causing an engine fire. I got it put out but a scary ride/incident none the less.

Re: 1969 Short Wide
Damn Mike that sucks, at least it's in an area hard to see! Good to hear most of the damage could be wiped off though.

Re: 1969 Short Wide
Just went through your cab repair section on the cab corner Mike. It looks great. I'm having a issue with getting my LMC cab corner to fit right. It looks like I'm going to have to order a Tabco cab corner hopefully that will be the trick. I made templates before I cut off the cab corner and the LMC cab corner isn't even close.

Re: 1969 Short Wide

Re: 1969 Short Wide
Thanks for the heads up. I had bought some from Classic Parts and they too fit like junk. I wish the people that make these panels for these old Chevy trucks would use what they make and maybe we wouldn't get sold the junk panels we do.

Re: 1969 Short Wide
Sucks to see the water pump and damage from the tire. At least the water pump was a fairly easy fix. I know you'll have the truck looking right again from the tire damage. It's good to see that you're out enjoying it. I need to get motivated and get my pile back on the road soon

Re: 1969 Short Wide
I got the chance to meet up with some other C/10 enthusiasts a few weeks ago at the Coffee and Cars cruise in OKC. It was good meeting with board members Zoomin, Suspect, sambob2285 and a few new guys also checking out a bunch of nice trucks and cars. C/10 Club Oklahoma is off the ground.....
If you're in Oklahoma and want to meet up with us, we are gathering again next Saturday at the same location. Pictures.... |

Re: 1969 Short Wide
Can't wait for cruise nights.. Nice stuff Mike. Just read up on the tire tread incident. I laugh (with respect) how calm you sound on these things. It's a virtue I struggle to achieve.

Re: 1969 Short Wide
Awesome photo update Mike! The farm truck you parked next to is cool and I bet the black 71/72 is sweet too but your truck is clearly the coolest in that shoot. I bet it's fun to drive - JEALOUS!!

Re: 1969 Short Wide
It's looking great! I can't wait to start driving mine. I've been throwing money at it so much it'll be nice to actually use it.
