67-72 C10 East Coast Rust Picking Parts
Beautiful work! I missed what you did with the coils. Everything is so clean!
Thanks I made mounts they are down where power steering pump usually are on truck engines. Drivers side below alternator
LS is a weak cancer
Do you plan to close the holes in firewall. Glad it is going !
Yeah I ordered plugs but they look dumb so I’m trying to find rubber older style ones
Nice work
Thanks
Slick looking truck man.
Thanks I appreciate it
That is one hell of a nice motor mount !
Thanks little overkill but it works
Are you sure you don't have a death wish ? And I hope your tetanus shots are up to date ! Lol good vid.
Yeah I may have to wear goggles every time I’m under this ship wreck. The Amish guy in video might have a hoist for next time
Maybe the sending unit was clogged?? I'm having trouble with that right now both sending unit and fuel line are clogged:((
That was a long time ago I guess I just wasn’t letting it prime long enough. Plus I pulled some filter chunks out of the carb later on
I think your right about how to redo the rear fenders. Looks like the seat frames might be all that's holding body to frame.
Yeah I think that’s the best way. Kinda crazy how the plywood seems to be the most structural part of the burb
Happy Father's day!!
Thanks you too
Where was all this technical expertise in the renewables sector?! Hope all is well man.
I’m more of a hub cleaner or down tower supervisor. All my knowledge is only from my tech 2 masters
Bro. I love the truck!!! It’s awesome. I have a 1940. I kept it as close to original as I found it. Very fun trucks 👍 you should check mine out
Can you send pictures on here? Yeah I didn’t want to sell that one but I couldn’t ship it when I moved
@@showmetrucks7113 I can’t send pictures, but the truck is on my channel. You should be able to just click the icon
Very clean nicely done👍
Thanks. it makes me way more happy for a bigger truck next that doesn’t need to hide wiring as much
The look is really coming together !
Thanks
I will love 2 have it
Thanks yeah I really liked those trucks
How much is it
We’ll the blue 67 sold within a few days and I ended up selling the raw 67 chassis within a few days also. Now the raw one is on a 4x4 chassis that I will be starting to work on soon. That video is a few years old now
So your issue was the gauge that’s why you changed the sending unit correct? because the truck will still run if the float don’t work
I actually changed it cause the tube in sending unit that fuel goes through was clogged with dirt and whatever else
Yeah truck doesn’t care about the float but that filter bag and tube need to be clean
@@showmetrucks7113 I think I’m having that same issue air won’t pass thru sender unit I’m assuming I have same problem. Thanks
My guess is a lock shop would charge $20 to make a door key if you could take it to them.
Yeah eventually I might do that
awesome job. looks great!
Thanks I appreciate it
👍
Thanks glad you liked it
at this point in my build and spread it on the floor and looked at it for hours, thinking WTF did i get myself into. lol
Trust me there was lots of that going on
Great work sometimes it’s tedious and nerve racking , but it’s worth it in the end . Really like the clean look .
Thanks yeah the quality of the build is in the details. Just trying to stay disciplined on details towards the end, I feel that’s when guys get sloppy cause they’re excited
Nice video I have a 1936 chevy truck also . Useful information you give . I’m going a different route on mine with suspension and rear end . I found that Jaguar front ends 1986 was almost a perfect width as the 36 rear end is also close . I’ve put the front end under mine and it looks great. Mounting it on rubber mounts, four bolt mount. Im going to put the Jaguar rear end in also and build arms for it in the frame . I plan to box the frame and cut and replace the cross member mounts with one’s to serve the engine and rear end mounts .I want to mount the motor to the front end cross mount also to cut down vibration but it will be a custom bracket to do it . I want to use your lifter cover style and wiring for the spark plugs . That really make the engine look so much better . Good work you’ve done on yours ,. I will keep an eye on your progress .
Thanks that sounds sweet. Yeah I’d like to do a more updated chassis on the next one I do. I’m going to slowly start buying parts for a hotrod one like yours later on
@ 15:30 - GM oil pressure gauge sending unit. Mostly 1970s V-8. @ 14:12 - GM solid state ignition module (it replaced points in the early '70s) in the HEI distributors.
Oh thanks so much. Nice those are actually parts I’d actually use eventually
I would not be afraid to use C10 headlight buckets and headlights. We did that on 55 Apache out of desperation simply because of the really gross prices folks wanted for parts that were almost no longer useful. In some cases new harnesses for other things can be used for the lighting where harness is too corroded or rodent eaten to be used. There is actually a few places that will make wiring harnesses one is in Memphis Tenn. I believe its a father & son operation. About 2 years ago I got a harness for a 69 ford short bed and the thing was a bit longer than it shoulda been but that is still better than too short to be useful.
Yeah one of these days I’m going to measure my 67 lights cause they look same diameter doesn’t seem to hard getting those over just might be issue mounting those bezels. Yeah I’m not against mixing parts for more available parts
I had the same doubts but it fit perfect. I believe the later model headlights just mount upside down. I did drill new mounting holes is all I remember doing and I actually picked up this assortment pack of mini springs somewhere. I still have the whole pack I only used 4 out of the box. I mean it just takes putting your mind to it. Since I did not have the old bezels at all I mean I don't notice anything diff other than drilling new holes. They are centered perfectly. When I got the 55 here there was very little left of the front clip the rest was in really good shape it had been a garage down the valley here some 45 years. It had been in an accident and parked. I found the brake lines completely rotted out like not even barely there anymore. Someone put a 283 in it with an old 2 spd power glide and that is the way the new owner wanted to keep it so we were not going for originality. I also used a kit with A arms over reusing the old straight axle. The new front support came from Classic Chevy and the owner got a fiberglass hood & fender kit. So the front end is nowhere close to original anyway.
@@thekingsilverado3266thanks for the good news yeah I was comparing them I don’t think it will be too tough and I have a few sets of those laying around
Engine is gonna look clean. It'll be worth the work.
Thanks I wish it had Bluetooth wiring so I didn’t have to lay a bunch of wiring on top of it
@@showmetrucks7113 lol
Nice Haul, Never pass on NOS Parts !
Yeah that was a fun day
Wouldn't it have been easier to just buy the barn and move there ? Lol
I’d like all the barns
Nice,, tight engine fit..i,d recess firewall, and tunnel floor for transmission..that move would allow,, about. 3 or..4inch. Engine rise of clearance, more room for fan, radiator...
My goal was to keep a stock look with firewall and floor so that’s why it’s tucked in like that
Doesn't Loctite release if you put heat on it ?
You can’t bring torch into the junkyard
Gotcha
if the price is right get it. you can always resale it later especially parts like that.
Yeah I’d like to start selling at swap meets so it would help with inventory
Your camper not right fit your truck bed. Your truck bed 6 foot. Camper is 8 foot.
Yeah that was true
Carlisle show is a joke
Prices or what part?
The more parts you find the more possible the project looks ! Will it be ready by September when I'm up there ??!! Lol
I’d like to say anything is possible with positive thinking but that’s a stretch
Nice to see they saved the old cars & Trucks, Most yards crush them for scrap.
Yeah they had about 20 and some were descent I think cause most guys there aren’t interested in those old cars
Gold for sure
Yeah I was pumped
I have a1952 panel that I have owned since 2000 I chopped the top 3.5 and its in good shape it still has the barrell seats in it, and the rear wood floor is still in good shape, I also have a 1966 buick skylark that has a300 to speed power glide and right wheel spin that I plan on putting in it, its still gm sowhat ever, and I still have my truck from high school and evey time I go to my class reunion evrybody asks if I still have the truck and I say I have the truck longer then wifes or girl freind,it now 47 year on my 1949 five window with 327 in and I also a stock 1952 and Iam the second owner of it,so I have what I want in my drive way,so good luck with the panel
Cool that’s a good collection
"Promo SM" 😊
I don’t know what that means
i took my TH350 apart to rebuild it, and said F it i'm taking it to a shop , time frame was against me and did nt want to have to redo it. but it was fun taking it apart,
Yeah definitely hard to work on it with a tight schedule
I just got done rebuilding mine like a week ago,I’ve never built one but I just did my first 1k fluid change and everything looks good so far.I went the same exact route,eBay kit no instructions and had the same exact thoughts lol.The money I saved for on a shop I upgraded my servo,band,did the accumulator piston delete,new harness and all electronics and a new pump and torque converter so I was about 1k in the whole build but I’ve since offered to rebuild a few friends because after the first time I’m confident I could do it pretty quick especially if it’s pulled.
Yeah I was hoping it’s something I could offer to customers also. Definitely worth it to learn
You have my respect. That is a terrifying thing to attempt.
Yeah that was the most intimidating project
I’m currently working on a 2wd to 4wd conversion. And I’m at the point where I have some questions. Is there any way I could communicate with you about that. Everything is about similar to your build expect I’m keeping mine a long bed. I just rewatched all your suspension and bracket modification videos for the 3rd time but there’s some things I would like to understand a bit further if that’s okay? Thanks
You can message me @willthompson4130 on Instagram if that works
Yeah glad I never tried that !
Yeah its tough but I’m more curious how the next one will go
@@showmetrucks7113 good luck. Like you said about the first one.... After a hundred or so you'll be smooth as the other YT experts (who might have edited a bunch of stuff out) !
Been a long time subscriber, great work with the channel and all 3 trucks! I have a 67 C10 short box step side small window cab. I have owned it for 20yrs, and have learned how to do all the fun and dirty jobs. It's had a full frame off custom restoration at home, she is almost road ready 😊 can't wait to drive her!!! I wanted to ask what did you use to dye your seat belts a few videos back? I'm in Ontario Canada, I've seen the spray can dye. Thanks Mike Ps keep up the great work and dedication.....
Thanks for watching. I think the dye was called Rit brand dye it was liquid that you mix in hot water.
🤦🤦🤦
Yep
Hey I thought you were a machinist man, just buff those grooves out. Bummer
Yeah kinda sucks
Definitely good you passed on that first truck.
Yeah it was rough plus tons of time doing custom work
Betting the Truck that Frame was under spent a good part of its life in a Barn to still be in that good of condition, Nice Find.
That’s what I was thinking it surprised me
That's one heck of a motor mount. You planning on having 1500hp?? The whole bottom could have been left open for much easier access.
True I kinda liked the look of it boxed in
FFS do that engine already buddy. You’re like, sent to do a pitch ram but keep makin videos about tidying up the Hub. All the best from CA, SuperTech
