Thanks, plan is to get the rest of the electric done on it and the concrete sealed/epoxied and save up for insulation and a few mini-splits. More of my attention will be going to the front "living" area for the next few months to get that mostly done, bonus is that area shares a full bathroom...
Been working on it pretty much every weekend. It’s dried in and started wiring. Got the ufo led lights in over the last few weekends. Setting it up for 3 big 100” ceiling fans and a 20” wall shutter fan on the gable end. The front bay is a mother-in-law suite that several out of town friends...
3 speed with Overdrive, came out of my 81 C10. Was behind a 305 before I swapped in a LS. Clutch gave up so I replaced with a 5 speed. Operates fine but could definitely use a refresh before using. Aluminum case. Located close to DeFuniak Springs Florida, 32433 zip code. No shipping...
I believe that tailgate assist rod was made from the mineral chineseium :D
Glad you're getting to enjoy the truck. Sounds like it will be solid once you work out a few hiccups
Kevin Tetz has a good video on reshaping the seatbelt pockets on the rear seats to allow for some pretty wide tires with no other modifications. If that's something you are interested doing on this at some point.
Finished up the front sheathing on the new shop. Need to get the gable ends closed up and then vapor barrier and then windows and doors and then....... its a long list
Started framing everything up. The middle three bays are framed for the roll up doors. 10'x10' opening on each. Those 6"x6" posts on the ends of e building are right at 17' long, those were a lot of work getting in place. All the big timber stuff is bolted down to the concrete and together...
"BETTER THAN IT WAS" Is the key part of this statement. A lot of people refuse to try stuff because " what if i mess it up", well it was messed up before... so try it and hey, you know what, it will probably be better than it was and you learned something.
lol makes me think of, did the transmission swap in mine and about a dozen other issues with my daily vehicles popped up, got those sorted out and take the C10 out and pop the hood to show a friend the swap and realize that the slight angle change caused by the new transmission causes the...
What Hucked said. I will add to it that if you have the means and the space, buy a side or rear wrecked doner vehicle for the LS swap, you can save a lot on incidentals going that route and you are fairly certain it was running/driving vehicle when it was "parked". Depending on the look you...
Not square body but close, GMT400. My nephew's truck has been sitting a few years and me and my brother decided to get it tuned up for him. We got the 350 in it back running and discovered milkshake oil. I called head gasket then from some other clues but my brother wanted to be optimistic...
