That's what I'm talking about! I'll re-save that book mark, now.

And I almost had a heart attack, because at first I thought you were crushing that bed!

72c20customcamper · 05-08-2019, 07:55 PM

Why would I do that ? Going for sand blasting and then paint. I'm going to have to redo this one right . So grumpy it just may happen full repaint.

" So grumpy it just may happen full repaint. "

Ahh Ha , It only makes sense when your investing money in your project !

**Ol Blue K20** · 05-08-2019, 09:27 PM

I drove mine today.....abot forty miles.......a lot fuel. ....LOL

Simple10 · 05-08-2019, 11:36 PM

Before and after

Ganty101 · 05-09-2019, 02:09 AM

Got this sweet keyring. Handmade in the uk and loads of choice of badges!

70 shorty · 05-09-2019, 07:12 AM

spent the last 2 days putting a clutch in mine. Yes, those of you who frequently do clutches probably could have done it in a few hours. We spent about 4 hours trying to get the old pilot bushing out, then had problems with the ball stud in the bell housing and the spring that clips it to the clutch fork. Had a good friend scrounge those parts up from stuff they had laying around at the house. Then didn't get the Hurst shifter stick back in correctly, and it took another hour or so to figure that simple fix out. The truck is back home with no passenger side exhaust as we took that apart to give us room, and didn't have replacement collector bolts or a gasket at 9:00 last night. That was an adventure to drive it with open exhaust! I'll button that up today and be completely done.

Looks very good!

197D_C10 · 05-10-2019, 05:21 PM

Pulled out the old crappy carpet and laid down some POR15, sound deadener, and new carpet. Now my seat looks like crap so that will be my next project.

**SoCoC10** · 05-10-2019, 06:08 PM

Sent her on her way to her new owner.

carpet looks great

72c20customcamper · 05-11-2019, 06:17 PM

Made the dolly for my bed. And painted the passenger side of the frame. Doing this one outside so I have to wait on the weather. Talked to two dustless blasters the cheapest was 600 $ to blast the inside of the bed and back half of the frame. Not happening , sanded acid etch then epoxy prime . PPG urethane black top coat ,it works for a driver. Do the rest on the next nice day. Going to do the trailing arm and link bushings when they come in so I'll do the rear and arms then off the truck.

Bearhawg · 05-11-2019, 09:48 PM

Installed new Tough Stuff PS pump and finally figured out the correct routing of the PS lines only to find that the CPP pulley was junk and Wobbles

beaterku · 05-13-2019, 11:19 AM

The beast is alive! Built 6.0 LS. Still needs exhaust. Running open headers in this video.

Thanks for the compliment.

And yes the price was out of hand . I did the dolly in the morning cause it was cloudy and cool . Warmed up nicely so I started the frame took me about 4 hours with a rotary sander and wire brushes on the angle grinder. He would have had everything done in that 4 hours. His real costs are a few pounds of glass and some gas for the compressor. I had to supply the water too.

Removed a previous owners' "ford solenoid mod" and a bunch of non-functioning or redundant electrical garbage, while overhauling the whole system. Not the most fun way to spend your weekend.

**Boog** · 05-14-2019, 07:36 AM

I went out to the shop to move the truck out so to move another one in and found this. It's an old tire but was still holding air so I've waited to replace it. It was good enough for a roller.
Guess I'll be ordering another tire now.

Redneck Rydes · 05-14-2019, 09:47 AM

I have a few of those,have a pile of aired up rollors to put on a frame to move around,one day was in the shop and Kaboom, scared the crap oit of me,thought the neighbour finally blew himself up smoking with oxygen tank hooked up,went outside and found the tire.

**Austinjay** · 05-14-2019, 09:49 AM

Painted the new front bumper and grill guard for the 565 truck. Can't wait to put it on.
