Re: 69 C10 swb stepside project 45 ACP

Well I went to the wrecking yard to pick up some square body clamshell style motor mount stands so they will hold up to the big block and came home with a pretty decent 68 auto trans steering column with a nice 68 steering wheel on it plus a dent & hole free glove box door, nice shiny ball bearing style ash tray assembly, a set of tail light housing for my 67 C10 longbed and a set of marker lamp lenses for the stepside in addition to the motor mount stands. Also got a nice parking brake pedal pad, a set of clutch & brake pedal pads, some matching headlight & wiper control knobs and a set of headlight adjusters. Grand total a big $42.

I wasn't sure how well the square body stands would fit the 67-72 engine crossmember but they sit on it properly. Ran out of time so I still need to go back and get the steel part that bolts to the engine block but I have the hard part. I may steal the steel pieces from the K10 project for now to get the engine in this thing sooner and swap them out down the road when I get back to the K10 project engine install.

Its too dark to take any more pics. I just got home from shooting off about 400 rounds in my other 45 ACP at a friends house. Time to clean the powder residue out of the thing now.
