Re: Project Ol Red-1978 Chevy C10 1/2 ton
Ok some minor progress took place today.me and my dad went over to where my truck is and actually got started on it today.we brought some parts we need to get ol red running so we can drive it up to my dads to finish the project.we took apart and cleaned the carb,figuered out what brackets we need to buy to hook up the fan,alternator and power steering pump,started the motor very briefly to make sure it would crank and run.it started up and ran smooth except for a slight lifter tick. my dad also welded the exhaust pipe back together as the prior owner for some rreason cut the pipe .we were only there a couple hours so i only took a few pics but nonet the less oics are pics so here goes.i should mention my dad did most of today's work as i have a soft tissue injury to my lower back so wrenchin for awhile is out of the question for me unless its minor mechanical work.
pic 1 is of the carb
pic 2 is of my dad taking the carb apart
pic 3 is of the carb being put back together after being soaked in berryman's
pic 4 is of the 250 currently in ol red
pic 5 is of my dad putting the carb back together
