Cecil the 1953 5 window / S-10 / 5.7 TPI

[lower50's]

Great build. Amazing job on all the little touches!!
What brand of insulation was used on the floor? Thanks

[skymangs]

That was "peel and seal". Same composition as the expensive stuff, but cost about $40 to do the whole floor and firewall.

[Low Elco]

Awesome work, Chris!

[skymangs]

Thanks brother.!

The stuff at Lowes?

SKYMANGS:Under body lights lightin...

Now if we can just get the Motor to run correct, sent the ECM back to Larry's Electric to see if it is bad, will hopefully hear something this week.

[skymangs]

Uncle Jimi; Yup, thats the stuff. Been very pleased with it.

Update on Cecil. I spent all day on the phone with Larry's Electric yesterday, diagnosing Cecil's run issue. (Runs great for about 40 seconds, then dies). It has continuous spark, fuel, and air, good fuel pressure, no codes, all injectors have been sonic cleaned and flow tested, IAC is opening and closing properly, all injectors are pulsing correctly. In other words, it should run great. By the end of the day they decided it must be a programming or ECM problem. Sent it off to them this morning. Hopefully they figure out what's going on and get it back in a timely manner.

In the mean time I'll be doing a few more little things to Cecil (since I've got the time).

[oossuuu754]

Chris it has to be the ECM and hopefully Larry's will get the replacement sent out soon.

On a side note if anyone from Oklahoma is following this thread please keep an eye out for my car hauler, some JackHole decided to steal it from driveway in broad daylight Tuesday.

Its a 20ft tandem, heavy duty axles and heavy duty big ball hitch!

[ratty 46]

That sux.

I hate thieves. Hopefully they'll screw up & the cops will catch them.

Well crap...hate that happened. Had my first new car we owned...86 Buick Grand National...stolen. Real downer. Hope they are caught.

[skymangs]

WTF is the world coming to?

[ratty 46]

It's (unfortunate) not what is coming to as it's already here. We need to go a bit backwards & take care of business as we use to.

It is SAD that you can't even leave your own property on your own property ... without some ****bag stealing it.

Some countries cut the hand off of thieves so everyone knows who the thief is ...

Again - that sux & hopefully it'll turn up.

754, I'm with the rest of the group, sorry it was stolen, hope it get's returned...Jim

[HUSSEY]

Can I ask about the steering column, do you recall the length or model no.? Looks like a perfect fit.

By the way, killer build thread! Just wish didn't have to read about your stolen trailer thread to come across it.

Not trying to pour salt in your stolen trailer wound... however.... on the bright side.... (if there was one to getting your trailer stolen???)

Cecil now becomes a driver... Not a trailer Queen?!?!!?

True, but now he doesn't have a way to bring the next project home
hope you find it.

[skymangs]

Steering column is a 32" column from Gearhead enterprises. It is a pretty good fit.

Chris built this truck to be driven and he would kill me if Cecil became a trailer queen. Honestly I think he was worried when I asked him to put a trailer hitch on him. I had to promise him Cecil would only tow a my Harley on a rare occasion.

Yep, that's a problem. Already planning on the next project, and got a truck in my sights, just have to convince my Aunt to let go of it.

[Advanced Design]

Cool, what truck does your Aunt have?

It's C10, Fleet Long Bed. She and my Late Uncle are the Original Owners, I think. Been in her pasture since probably 2000.

Thanks skymangs I'll check it out
Sorry to hear about your trailer!!

[oossuuu754]

So we are still waiting to get the ECM back from Larry's Elec to see if that is the issue with the Engine Shutdown. In the meantime I did get my tag for Cecil. Think it will fit in perfect.
