Wanted to get the tires off today and the little ones on but I guess that will have to wait. Gonna go down next week and take the clip apart. Gonna be lots more red. Anyone using a aluminum radiator? I'm hearing good things about them.

**BOSS** · 11-18-2005, 09:37 PM

Looks like you got a start,what all are you doing to it?

Mudder · 11-18-2005, 10:07 PM

New motor and painting the fender wheels, inner fenders, radiator support, etc. Oh and I'm gonna have a red motor. Will still have some black under there but most will be gone besides the frame and axles.

**Yukon Jack** · 11-19-2005, 10:33 AM

Finding any rust? Sure looks like the metal is all good from here.

Mudder · 11-19-2005, 10:57 AM

No rust. Did find a couple of seems that was letting water in on top of the cowl. Silicone had dried out. Getting ready to leave to get the tires off and deliver my old motor this morning. Calvin is gonna put them (tires and wheels) on his truck for while to see how they look......

It would be hard to say no to this body man.....

Progress, keep us posted mud

**Yukon Jack** · 11-19-2005, 05:57 PM

That no rust is great to hear - never need that surprise. Yep, you better let the body guy try out those tires - sounds like you have a good one.

Mudder · 11-19-2005, 07:43 PM

Motor is delivered. Pulled the heads. theres 2 cylinders that have issues. Gonna check the heads out then put everything back together. The tires will be on Calvins truck this week I'm sure.......... I left them lay in his shop.

FRENCHBLUE72 · 11-20-2005, 03:05 AM

Gonna make a sweet truck even better just goes to show that they really are never done..

Mudder · 11-20-2005, 04:32 AM

No, they are never done for very long.

Russell · 11-20-2005, 02:50 PM

hehe, my truck is more put together than mudders!

However, his will still be back together before mine, lol

86swb · 11-20-2005, 04:33 PM

Mudder · 11-20-2005, 04:38 PM

oldschooloutlaw · 11-20-2005, 11:39 PM

I had a 84 k10 with 6" suspension lift and 3" body lift and 38"tires and I would put little 31" tires on it to get in the garage to do any major work on it.

Is this the old motor that has the cylinder issues or the new 383?

Mudder · 11-21-2005, 12:26 PM

old motor.. seems a couple cylinders wasn't firing right the way it looked inside.

Zumo · 11-21-2005, 12:46 PM

Mudder · 11-21-2005, 01:28 PM
