Re: '60 GMC 4x4 Long Fenderside

I haven't had time to mess around with the pictures yet. I did just pick up a spin on oil filter adapter from a board member. http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=496864 So hopefully I keep the truck. If for some reason I don't keep it, then I'll re-sell it to someone else on here.

My kids and I have been going over and helping another board member work on his truck, so we can at least get some truck therapy in! LOL

The property division mediation is the end of next week, and the trial is at the end of the week after that, so i should know more soon!

Re: '60 GMC 4x4 Long Fenderside

WOOOHOOOO

I get to keep my truck!!!

Had a settlement meeting today, and gave her half of my retirement account, so I could keep the truck and my Harley! She accepted! The attorneys approved it, we signed it, and it is already in the mail to the judge. As soon as he signs it, it'll be 100% over!!!

Re: '60 GMC 4x4 Long Fenderside

Thanks guys!

Tony, we wiped out 3/4 of the retirement account last year for her "treatment" programs, so there wasn't much left anyway.

My son is at his mom's this weekend, so probably won't do much until next weekend when he can be here. I will be out puttering with it until then though! LOL

Re: '60 GMC 4x4 Long Fenderside

Congrats Jason! Real glad you get to keep the truck and the Harley. It would have been just wrong if she got that truck. Something you have kept around for so long, I can imagine why you didn't wanna let go. Glad to know you get to keep it. Can't wait to see how it goes down the road, man. Again, congrats. Starting a new build if you wanna check it out. It's starting with a Suburban. Actually, haven't done anything yet except bring the Suburban home. Go check out the thread and read up. Lol.

Re: '60 GMC 4x4 Long Fenderside

Jason - I know you will be so relieved when all this is done!! I cannot even imagine what you have been through.
Was afraid that I was going to have to hide out that 383 of yours for awhile at my house
Boise roadster show is this weekend- I think we are going Friday night.

Re: '60 GMC 4x4 Long Fenderside

Actually, she sold it for "living expenses" LOL Oh well, it's not like I can't build another! I already have a .030 over block in my garage now.

I am going over to help Murdoc with his '50 tomorrow night after work. Thinking about heading over there this weekend sometime though.

Re: '60 GMC 4x4 Long Fenderside

The '50 was the first vehicle he bought. He is tired of it at this point, and wants to clean it up and sell it. My kids and I have been helping him the last few weekends with the sanding and masking, so he can get a coat of primer on it, and "pretty" it up.

I needed some wrenching time, and he volunteered his truck. LOL

Re: '60 GMC 4x4 Long Fenderside

Its a 3 window Bubba. PM me your cell number if you want, and I'll send you a picture tomorrow night.

I told him to put a build thread on here, so everyone could see it. But he just wants to get rid of it. It's pretty solid, and the skilled sanding it is receiving probably makes it worth 2 or 3 dollars more. LOL

Hmmm I did notice that you capitalized DO. LOL

I understand the sickness. LOL



Thanks Alan!

Re: '60 GMC 4x4 Long Fenderside

The first project will be to get her running and driving. It turned over and fired earlier, so I have high hopes!!

The clutch seems to be stuck disengaged, and there is no pedal at all. I was going to bleed the clutch slave, but could not find a wrench the right size. I tried SAE and metric, and nothing fit quite right. I didn't spend much time on it though, so will get back into it now.

The master cylinder had leaked almost dry, so the line is probably full of air, but wouldn't that stick the clutch engaged?

Then on to getting her to stop better. My son and I bled the brakes before, and got some decent pedal, but I want to do it again, to make sure all is well.

Hope to have it terrorizing the neighbors shortly! LOL

Re: '60 GMC 4x4 Long Fenderside

Congrats on the light at the end of the tunnel!
I know EXACTLY how you feel about not wanting to exhale until you get the paper in your hand, my divorce was the same way.

Weren't you doing a build with your stepdaughter? What is the status on that one, in the crapper I suppose....

Sorry if I am poking a sore spot, but you spend enough time reading these boards you cannot help but develop a bit of a connection to the people that post the progress, as well as the bumps in the road of life.

Looking forward to more on your build, and pics !!

Re: '60 GMC 4x4 Long Fenderside

Thanks McMurphy! I had a friend ask me if I knew why divorces were so expensive. I told him no, why, expecting a joke. He said it's because they are worth it. LOL So very true!!

Yep, my Step-Daughter and I were building her a 65 C-10. The link to that build is in the first post of this one. It is a sore spot, but no worries. It sucks more for her (she paid for everything, and got nothing back). Hopefully she will be able to have her dad help her, or a boyfriend or something.

She still has the truck, and all the parts. We had most of the difficult stuff done, and were ready to start re-assembling.

Didn't have much time this weekend, but got the fuel pump on the truck, and cleaned up around the oil filter adapter. I purchased a spin on style adapter from another board member, so was prepping to take the canister style one off, and put on the new one.

Here is the adapter. http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=496864

Must have scrapped 20+ pounds of caked on oil and grease off around the oil filter. This thing is going to go faster just because it is MUCH lighter. LOL

Re: '60 GMC 4x4 Long Fenderside

When I changed my V6 to a spin on I just bought some gasket material and made my own gasket.

Re: '60 GMC 4x4 Long Fenderside

I have a full gasket set for the engine, and it has 2 different gaskets in it for the oil filter mount to block, but neither of them will fit. The bolt holes line up, but the oil passages are different.

What gasket material did you use for yours duallyjams?
