Re: What did you do to your truck today!
Exhaust mock up. I really do not like the ball and socket flange. The plan was to do the exhaust with out welding.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
Pulled the grill off for paint and decided to do something a little different (also a good excuse to paint that rusty center support), giving flat black a try. I'll get it on tomorrow to see if I like it, or just gave myself something to do next weekend??

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
I used a ECE 4.5/6 & after reading a bunch of posts on this site It went on easy as pie. I think the hardest thing was the first rivet on the shock brackets that had to come out.......Even cooler went with my son on a truck hunt and he came home with a 69 c10 that even had the original manual and protecto plate in the glove box.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
I got my new door handles installed. It was a very simple job other than having to drill out 3 screws on my drivers door panel.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
Yesterday I took out my old carrier bearing crossmember, and put in the "new" one on my C-30.
Today, I found an original tach dash at a yard sale for $40!

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
This weekend i installed exhaust manifolds, hooked up exhaust pipes. Installed starter and wired starter and new mallory distributor and coil. finished hooking up brake lines and installing new master cyllinder. Talked to a friend and decided to go with a later alternator with the voltage regulator within. We are thinking about a 1978 or 80 alternator should do it. The rear drive shaft was installed and now I am waiting for a delivery from LMC to finish cab and exterior lights. I purchased a nos rubber mat on ebay a while ago and come to find out it is a low hump mat and I need a high hump floor mat. I will need to sell the one I sold. Sorry for running on, but much was done and I will post pictures soon.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
Working on a budget... Was able to save the drivers inner fender and support by cutting out the rust and fabbing in some metal. Started on the rear wheel also with help from a donor. Thought it turned out ok considering. Saved some cash too..

Made some more progress on my 200-4r install today.
Would of finished and started Pressure testing, but I found that my "new" drive-shaft is 1" to short. Sure it would move the truck, but the slip yoke is out 1.5" and I'm not willing to take any chances. So I will dop it off to get re-tubed & balanced tomorrow. Current drive shaft length 60" need to be 61". (this is just the shaft not including the slip yoke.) This is what I DID get done today. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Full details will be in my Photo build thread Photo Build Thread - Page 2 Sneak peak images.... It was a productive day....... ![]() -=Scott=-
