Re: Shop truck build
Soooo...the other day I snapped the post on my vent window just trying to open the dang thing...I became obvious that the both need rebuilt...
I happen to have a spare lying around and I am gonna use it for a guinea pig. I am familiar with www.prp.com and their window handle kit...which is awesome! I need to rebuild the lower area and can't find a replacement sprin...anybody got any advice? |

Re: Shop truck build
I will follow along with your build. Who knows, maybe in a few more years it will resemble your vision for it.

Re: Shop truck build
Great buy on the flatbed. I hope you get the pickup to come out how you'd like. Cool furniture and pretty girl. Might be able to do handsprings with those.

Re: Shop truck build
Subscribed. The truck is a TBI 4.3 1987 right? I have the K10 Shortbed with 4.3 TBI and 700r4. Then I also have 87 Longbed C10 305 TBI. Love looking at other peoples builds for ideas for my C10.

Re: Shop truck build
Squarebody 87...Annabelle (that's her name) did have the vortec v6 in her and it was nothing but trouble...dropped in a 350 from a 75 donor...it could use a rebuild and I hope to get to that around January...but it runs just fine for now...
I will say that a feller should be care with Seafoam cause the stuff works too well! After running a tank through, the new/old 350 started smoking on startup...I'm sure it's time for a valve job and the Seafoam musta loosened up all the gunk that was acting as a seal... |

Re: Shop truck build
Cleaned up the front calipers a bit and tossed some paint on em...I know you all may think me a bit off for shootin 'em green but it will match my studio's logo that will be painted freehand on the doors...
Since I'm not into neon green, I had to pass over the duplicolor stuff and go with some barbecue grill paint and then some high heat clear...hope it don't bubble and peel... Last edited by Whamo; 11-06-2017 at 08:02 AM. Reason: typo |

Re: Shop truck build
I am more of a neon green guy myself, but I do like that green. It should be a nice subtle accent.

Re: Shop truck build
Soooo...Gregski inspired me to do something with my cracked up dash...not exactly sure what direction I'ma gonna go but before I do anything...it had to be stripped.
3 hours, several cuts and some sore muscles later, I had a trash bag full of foam, plastic and crud...

Re: Shop truck build
That Gregski is such a trouble maker. I am interested to see how this goes.

Re: Shop truck build
Well.........
This build seems to be cursed with setbacks...every time it gets a'movin, sumptin happens! This time a torn rotator cuff put my plans on hold. Not to be thrawted, I had my mechanic buddy agree to step in and take over, but the Ford Demons afflicted him with a crazy sickness that put him out fer 3 weeks...the devil drives a ford and he's been busy! We are sloooowly getting things back together...

All my so-called friends wonder what is wrong with me and why I have not remarried after my divorce in 2010. Somehow telling them it's because "I don't want to..." isn't good enough. They seem to feel that, as a man, I owe it to some woman somewhere to become her meal ticket and provide for her while she completely wrecks my life, my hobbies, my interests, my dreams .... and of course, my Big Dooley.
