Re: Our new 69C10 project

Thanks, the cab and doors were a complete score, of course now I have a complete bab, door, fenders and hood that I will have to sell when I am done, it has the typical rust but over all its a pretty nice set-up, and I already have the patch panels to go with it. Hopefully I can find a buyer her local, its off to the powdercaoter to see how the core support and inner fenderwells turned out

Re: Our new 69C10 project

Nice looking project. How is the 700R4, 3.07/posi for low end/stop light torque? 1500 rpm at 70 sounds nice. Wonder how a stock 396/402 would do with this combo?

Re: Our new 69C10 project

It has tons of low end, I actually have to watch the throttle to keep it from breaking loose, the 700R4 has been upgraded with corvette upgrades, so its a nice tight shift then smooth when it drops into overdrive, I think its the perfect combo. I was a bit hesitant to go with the 307, but my diff guy ran the numbers with the engine, trans and wheel size and said thats what it needed and he was right on.

Re: Our new 69C10 project

OK, the boys and I got the bed, and all the front sheet metal off yesterday and now we are going to power wash the frame and take a good look at it, front sheet metal was pretty rusty, along with the core support and more of the cab that I had not seen, but the new cab is getting a coat of PPG sealer along with the doors this week I hope, put the bed on the trailer and off to get completly blasted, and its in exellent condition, trying to decide if I can work around the engine and trans in place, but my guess is I will pull them, which is a shame but the PO did`nt do much cleaning and prep so I dont want to do it half-a@$*.

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.

Re: Our new 69C10 project

24 x 36, normally my wood shop but the boys have taken it over with the truck, I had to put the 72 in a friends shop, I am out of room and dont know where to put all the old body parts, I guess outside, they are already rusty right.

Re: Our new 69C10 project

We are having a ball, the boys want to work on it every night, so the bed is going off to the blaster tomorrow and we are waiting for a bunch of parts from LMC this week, half the frame is now cleaned and off comes the cab this week, or al the least the doors and interior. Always fun to meet new friends

Re: Our new 69C10 project

Here is a bit more progress, removed the old core support, steering box, the rest of the wire harness and drained the fluids to pull the engine and trans next week. We got the replacement OME core support blasted along with the inner fenderwells back from the powdercoater yesterday so they are ready to go and we picked up a few more parts along the way. Slow but steady pace.

Re: Our new 69C10 project

Well, we have been working slowly, so we managed to remove the cab, engine and trans, all the old brake lines and fuel lines and getting ready this week to take the frame to get blasted and powder coated, hoping to have it back during the winter brake so we can start puting the drivetrain back togather with a few new polished parts. The boys have been working hard on polishing all the aluminum parts, sorting bolts and cleaning up after ourselves and trying to keep mom happy not being out in the shop all the time, I think we will have to work a bit harder on that one.

progress

We have made good use of the winter break and the good weather, finished stripping the frame and off to powder coating and back already. We reinstalled the rearend, and most of the front end, just waiting for a few parts tomorrow. Installed the rear brake lines and today we picked up the cab after it was sealed with PPG epoxy and will be dropping it off with the painter tomorrow night, the bed is already there along with the fenders, hood, cowl, doors and tailgate but the cab will be first. All the sheet metal turned out great from the blasting, no rust and all new seam sealer. We will try to get the suspension done this week and get the front tires back on, drop the engine back in, we gave her a new coat of paint, new Summit pans for the engine and trans and a new polished water pump, along with lots of new seals to hopefully solve the small oil leak it developed in the first 2500 miles.
