John, that Matador my friends dad bought new in 68 and I wanted it all through high school. He contacted me a year ago about restoring it and I...
Thanks for the suggestion, i'll look into it. As someone suggested above, i may paint the bed sides and leave the inserts stainless.
Thats sounds like a cool idea! May have to give it a shot. I don't want you to have to go through the trouble of all that to get pics
Prime, I cant remember if it was a murray or briggs, but it was a 4 door slant windshield. Rumor has it, that it was cut off with an axe and...
Thanks! Im no painter by any means but im pretty happy with it. Few bugs and some trash in the clear, but that'll sand out. Really very little...
Paint Guru what is your tip for the brushed stainless? Got busy finishing out the painting on the cab and left the bed on the back burner. Not a...
I got busy welding on the cab and moved to the bed without giving it a second thought. Sounds like i'll be bodyworking and painting it!
On my Model A truck the original plan was to paint the cab, and leave the bed bare metal. The bed is handmade from stainless steel sheet. Where we...
Attention to detail! If you don't fully understand something, figure it out before you proceed. First week on the job at a Volvo dealer and was...
Put a one piece Denny's driveshaft in my 62 C10. No problems, they are easy to deal with. They have a website
After some thinking on it, am I right to assume the open cap is the one that only has one seal with no spring? And the closed one has the spring...
I have a 16lb cap and there are two gaskets. One at the plate at bottom of spring where it would mate inside filler neck, and one that is up in...
Haven't checked that cap yet, but you seem to be describing all that I've checked. I'm betting money I don't have the closed system cap. Adam
Filled to top of top row to allow for expansion. Maybe I filled a little too high. Still gonna check that cap and make sure its right. New...
Will have to check all that at lunch. Drove it to work today and all this steam started coming frow under all sides of hood. Was kinda...
Hi all, On my 62 c10 with sbc 350 my coolant is boiling over around the fill cap of the 2 year old radiator. It bypasses the overflow tank. All...
Just bought a 64 Cadillac with a 429 and a Carter AFB. Having problems with idle, stumble on acceleration, all kinds of stuff. I have been through...
Kirker makes "hot rod black" that went on my truck pretty easy. Didn't turn out too bad for first vehicle I've ever painted
Excellent, thanks for clearing all this up! The post on the 67-72 page was really helpful, but sometimes I read too much into things and make them...
So if I get the drop spindles from early classic, the ball joints and tie rods are reusable from my 65? Just find a donor vehicle 73-87 for my...
Have done the research and read all the c10 lowering threads on this and the 67-72chevy truck site and need more info. Everything I've read says...
Seems no one does so far. Was looking to do springs and spindles to get maximum drop. Looks like I shell out the scratch for discs, or just do...
That truck looks really good! Mine sits a little lower than yours, but it is not done correctly or safely in my opinion. The coils were heated and...
Hey all, Have searched this site and the 67-72 chevy truck site and can"t seem to find an answer. Maybe there isn't one! Question is, does...
Have seen several threads on this site saying that "streetrod" and "ratrods" are dirty words on this site. So what is the purpose of supporting...
This sounded like a machine gun firing. Not a normal vehicle sound. Like he had added something and flipped a switch to do it. If we don't know we...
Easy, easy, I own a Chevy, but I'm non-discriminate!
Not considering doing this to my vehicle, but curious as to what it was. A few years ago a 60's Comet rolled past and let out the loudest...
I knew the wealth of knowledge on the hamb could figure it out.
