Re: 1965 C20 fleet side longbed DD low budget build.

She's back in and sitting Purdy. oh yeah! went in like a breeze. is all I can say. Put a high volume oil pump in it. The clearance was so darn close between the crank and pump I had to grind it a bit more for my own comfort. Also some pictures from the other day tho. Got a new clutch setup that I tossed in. Still more to come tho. Going to try and start the motor today.

Be careful with High volume pumps...they're known for breaking camshafts on these.

No, its how high you rev them...issue is that a high volume pump will pump some 50+ pounds when cold and up to 70 pounds at rpm which is to much and way more than needed. I went with a melling standard volume pump. At rpm I'll see 40 pounds which is plenty for a 6 banger. But you should be fine if you run a thinner 10-30 and don't rev it up to 6K. lol

Re: 1965 C20 fleet side longbed DD low budget build.

I guess. Thing is I ordered a factory and the high volume pump. The high volume one is the same as factory size and everything. The normal one that was "stock" was 3 inches taller and looked like it was for a completely different motor. So I figured high volume won't hurt anything. Plus it doesn't get to cold in my area so this summer it should run fine. And if need be just find an original pump from maybe napa or auto zone and tull the pan to Toss that in. Won't take more than an hour. If that.

It'll be fine i think, and actually its the other way around(lol)...the high volume pump is bigger than the low volume which may even be the reason you had to do a bit a grinding. lol I know when I put my pump in I starred at the small bit of clearance between the pump and one of the crank balancers, I was like..."Uh huh, Nope...you getting a little metal shaved off", but then I just said heck with it and bolted it down and rotated the assembly by hand watching the clearance and all seemed fine...Guess we'll find out when that buzzin half dozen gets its 1st 6k rev. lol

Re: 1965 C20 fleet side longbed DD low budget build.

That we will brother haha. Yeaa if I ever kick a rod on that cylinder that be a noisy day. I'm just going to run some thin oil for the break in period to play it safe and see what she runs up to. But if this just strips out my distributor gear on the cam then heck with it. I'll go buy a new bump stick. . Also. Wheat I Ment by the size of the pump. The "stock" oil pump was 3 inches taller and larger than the high volume. I think the box was miss labeled.

Re: 1965 C20 fleet side longbed DD low budget build.

Oh she will purr soon. Taking the brakes today. I really really don't want to but figured all the more reason to have it done sooner. My goal is Friday now. There's a big car show at buns and burgers in town every year to kick off the summer car shows. Going to be 200 cars plus.

Re: 1965 C20 fleet side longbed DD low budget build.

Okay so after pulling the hair out of my head 10 times I'm about 80 percent done with the brakes. I need a few springs and two adjusters for the front brakes and them I'm done. Other than bleeding the system. Also tackled my king pin bearings and races. Found the problem I think pit everything back in and she's as tight as 10 lb test fishin line with a 30 lb fish on Her. Should not have any problems with wheel camber. Tonight I'm going to tackle the transfer case. Have to change out idler shaft and the gears on it. Along with re sealing it all. Hoping to close shop by midnight. Just to wake up at 6 and start it all again
