Got the fenders back from the painter yesterday, looking sharp. If you look at the back side of the fender you can see all the small nick where I figure somewhere along its life must have been in a fender bender.

i searched the net for an affordable disk brake kit (with no luck) for my 66 I'm picking up next weekend .

[Red65C10]

Almost finished up the rear main seal replace I started yesterday. Need to torque pan bolts, put filter and oil in and fire it up.

[lwb66step]

Installed new distributor, coil, rotor, cap, wires, plugs, set timing, repaired my fuel line, GOT MY NEW 63 started for the first time!!!!!! Unfortunately I still can't figure out the fuel issue, the carb is still dry. All I can think of is replacing the fuel pump. But what a relief to hear the engine start. The truck didn't run when I bought it so I am pretty happy not to have to replace an engine.

Hey, Mark:
Today I went outside and pulled the cruise parts out and guess what - They won't even fit between the motor and firewall... Oh well, chucked it out... It was the factory vacuum operated thing from the suburban that I pillaged the engine, tranny, and rear end from.

tightened up all my bed bolts, welded a filler for the gas fill place, worked on my interior, and checked everything after doing the rear axle flip and installing a c-notch.

Everything is looking great! Getting ready to make this my DD for awhile.....

Thanks.

Today, CB radio install, made a bracket that sits on the floor for the CB, holds CB/mic. Later, welding the cross bard for my rear facing trailer hitch receiver box onto frame, and mounting the box, moving the license plate, adding a slider hitch receiver holder and chain loops.

That looks great! Did your truck always have the chrome grille or is that a new addition?
